We are sports fanatics, not unlike yourself. We consist of two handicappers:
1. Professional sports bettor, handicapper, and Vegas resident, Jim Kruger.
2. Long-time handicapper and Texas newspaper editor, Paul Stone.
And yes, those are our REAL NAMES!
We don't hide behind any psuedonyms or created identities.
Paul Stone founded a handicapping service specializing in college football, 1998-2000, under the name of Genesis Sports Service. GSS showed cumulative profits for clients of $20,070 as monitored by The Sports Monitor of Oklahoma City coming in #3 in net wins in 1998. Personal reasons caused Paul to take a three-year vacation from maintaining a public handicapping service. Genesis Sports originally was just a phone service but switching over to be an Internet business meant a name change would be best for business purposes.
We have set a personal standard: To provide winning sports picks with the best service in the industry!
We don't see how anybody could be working harder than us!
As we've said, our money is where our mouth is. We are playing our picks.
When you buy our picks, you get ALL of our picks. You don't have to pay extra for a Game of the Year, our "Private Plays", our "President's Club", "Advantage Club", "Game of the Month", etc. type of picks. You get ALL of our picks with any purchase.
Having a service helps keep us disciplined in our personal sports betting. Since our clients' money is riding on our picks, we can't take a day or a week off. We have to handicap every game every day. It is also sort of an ego thing that we sell our picks and that we are monitored. Also, why wouldn't we sell our picks? We are making them on a daily basis for ourselves, why not make money on top of our bets by selling the picks we have worked hours on?
We don't charge an outrageous sum for picks for one day, one week, or a full season. We try to be reasonable.
We give you our word that we will work as hard as we can to make you money.
Thank you for "checking us out", we look forward to a mutually profitable relationship!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Jim Kruger at 702-630-8400. You will not be pressured into anything. We will NEVER give, trade, or sell your name, phone number, or email address to anybody. We treat people the way we would like to be treated.

Jim Kruger Bio
Consistent winning in all sports is what sets Jim Kruger apart from others as he has multiple documented #1 finishes in football, basketball, and baseball. Kruger has been an active handicapper and sports bettor since 1988. He moved permanently to the Las Vegas valley at the turn of the Millennium and is a full-time handicapper and sports bettor.
Using skills sharpened as a stock and commodities broker and trader, Kruger is adept at analyzing games and finding good line value. Jim employs a combination of fundamental and situational handicapping without ignoring trend analysis. Kruger believes off-season preparation is a key to success, especially in basketball where early season lines can be way off. However, Kruger does not release a pick just for the sake of having a play. Jim bets all of his own plays so his money is where his mouth is.
Jim Kruger has been heard on radio programs nationwide including the world-famous Stardust Line and as a regular on the legendary “You Can Bet On It” show. He has published articles on multiple Internet sites and has been quoted in many publications including Players Choice magazine, Gaming Today, the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Las Vegas Sun newspapers along with numerous other major metropolitan newspapers.

Paul Stone Bio
Texas-based handicapper Paul Stone has been successfully and professionally handicapping sports for more than 20 years, specializing in the major college sports (football and basketball), the NFL and Major League Baseball.
While a business student at the University of Texas at Austin, Paul developed an interest in sports gambling, making his first trip to Las Vegas in the mid-1980s and has returned two-to-three times annually for the past 20 years and can often be spotted inside Strip sportsbooks on football weekends and during the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
Paul, formerly a sports editor at a major Texas newspaper, primarily utilizes fundamental handicapping methods, combing tirelessly through statistics, newspaper articles and other data to identify weaknesses in the posted pointspread. He also relies on input from other experts stationed throughout the country who offer insight on the college and professional sports teams in their region.
In 2005, Paul was close to being the best college football handicapper on the net as he finished second in net profit for the regular and bowl seasons as monitored by the reputable The Sports Monitor of Oklahoma City.
Paul has appeared on the old Stardust Line radio show, in addition to being a guest alongside Dave Cokin on the Leroy's Sunday Night Show from the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Nov. 19, 2006 when he treated listeners of the popular program to a 3-0 showing, with ATS winners on Southern Cal, TCU and Florida State.
Paul was featured each Saturday of the 2006 college football season in the Las Vegas Review-Journal as a member of a five-member expert panel selecting games against the pointspread, posting the second-best record among the group. He is also often quoted in sports handicapping articles in the Review-Journal, offering his opinions and insights on selected games.
This season Paul has additionally put up the $5,000 entry fee and accepted the challenge to test his skills against 31 other top football handicappers in the Las Vegas-based $160,000 winner-take-all Leroy's "Money Talks" Contest. The contest's format pits contestants against one another in a weekly bracket-style tournament, with the "championship" match scheduled for Friday, Dec. 28.
Paul despises the underhanded, dishonest methods used by many sports services today and let's his results speak for themselves. He vows to "get up earlier" and "stay up later" than anyone in the business to deliver the greatest financial gain for his clients.
