Bob Akmens Sports:
You won't find Bob Akmens on television screaming about his upcoming "Lock of the Year." You probably won't find him on the back cover of one of the preseason football magazines advertising his sports service. But where you will probably find Akmens is atop the leader board in one of the handicapping contests run by The Sports Monitor or The Sports Eye. You'll also find him at basports.com, his new website, where prospective customers can learn all about one of the most respected handicappers in the business.
A Proven Track Record:
No other handicapper can match Akmens in terms of winning on a consistent level, something he has done with regularity since 1978. His list of documented sports handicapping contest victories stands at an unprecedented 163 and continues to grow on a regular basis. Akmens is no one-sport wonder, as he has won contests in baseball, basketball, football, and hockey. Additionally, his soccer packages offering games from around the world are quickly proving to be popular and he has customers in more than a dozen countries.
Ability to Adapt:
Perhaps one of the most remarkable aspects of Akmens and his handicapping prowess has been his ability to adapt to the ever-changing world of sports gambling. Systems and techniques that worked in the 1980s no longer work today and there have been many sports bettors who were successful 20 years ago who are getting by on reputation alone and are no longer effective today. The fact that Akems has not only been in business for 30 years, but has won contests in his first year and again this year, prove that he has a much better understanding of the sports betting scene than his competitors in the sports service industry.

Low-Key Service:
Bob Akmens Sports is certainly not your typical sports service. There's no high-pressured salesmen, no insulting your intelligence by making ridiculous claims, or any of the other things often associated with the sports service industry. There's also very little advertising involved, which is a rarity in the business.
"Interestingly enough, for the 30 years I've run my service, I've relied on a business model which apparently few sports services do: generating revenue almost exclusively from referrals from existing clientele and new business which comes my way via my handicapping contest successes," Akmens said.
Many Different Packages:
Sports bettors looking for a winning service are sure to enjoy Akmen's variety of packages, in which customers can choose to receive plays in one sports or all sports. If a bettor wants only basketball plays, they have the option for signing-up for just basketball plays. Clients also have the option of signing-up for the complete card or can choose to receive what Akmens believes is the best bet of the day. Best bet options are available solely in one particular sport or clients have the option of receiving his top play of the day in any sport.
Some Unique Plans:
Akmens doesn't stop with just offering different packages centered around a particular sport or best bets, but offers some of the most unique plans you'll find. These can range from his Ultimate Lifetime Plan, in which you receive plays in the four major North American until one of you dies, to his Save-Your-Marriage deals, which consists of getting plays that are expected to be over by a certain hour, giving you plenty of time to watch the games, as well as spend time with your family. (Those of you who are married can see the value in this.)
Offering Helpful Advice:
Naturally, the primary purpose of the Bob Akmens Sports site is to promote the company's different services, but there are also some good tidbits of information to be found on the site that is sure to help all sports bettors, even those who handicap their own games. Under each sport is a link called "betting tips" and the time it takes to read them is certainly time well spent. It isn't often that you'll find a successful sports bettor willing to share some of their knowledge.
A Different Kind of Sports Service:
When it comes to sports services, I'm probably one of the more critical people around. I've seen first-hand some of the damage they've done to people who have bet far more than they afford because some service told them a game was a "lock" and couldn't lose.
You won't find that from Akmens, who runs one of the only sports services I know that gets respect from bettors of all backgrounds, including the wiseguys who bet on sports for a living.
One of the biggest complaints about sports services is the fact that you usually don't get what you pay for, something that is an aberration of every day life. That's not the case with Akmens, who is probably in the middle of the road price-wise, but certainly much better than that performance-wise. In this case, you truly do get what you pay for, plus more.
I can count on one hand the number of services that I would give a positive recommendation about to a fellow sports bettor. Bob Akmens Sports would certainly be included in that select group. Visit his site to find out why for yourself.
If anyone is interested, he has made a special offer to all RX members:
