Matt Foust
Where am I from?
I live in Kansas City, MO and have covered sports for a few different companies as well as a local university. I am a lifelong sports enthusiast and an avid follower of the Chiefs, Royals, and Missouri Tigers. I have been handicapping for a few years now and I work very hard to consistently find the best plays on the board for my clients.
Why did I join Who2Beton?
I decided to join Who2Beton because they don’t play any games with their customers. They are professional in every way and — unlike some companies — they actually care about making their clients money.
What methods and systems do I use?
I use a variety of handicapping methods and resources, including the evaluation of systems, angles, and trends. I do a great deal of statistical analysis and hard core research as well. Before making a play I always examine the situation carefully — analyzing things like revenge, a particular pitching match-up, bullpen deficiencies, player’s stats, changes in personnel, injuries, etc. are critical to success. I have also created my own set of totals formulas that give me an edge in the numbers game.
How do I rate my selections?
- 2 -3 stars plays are action bets (most of my plays will fall here)
- 4 star plays are best bet plays
- 5 star plays are my top plays, the best of the best
- Depending on the sport and how the evaluation process breaks down, I may release anywhere from 1 to 7 plays in a day.
Best sports:
MLB, NFL, and College football are my strongest sports.
Something people tend to overlook:
People often overlook the value of a home dog in baseball. If a good team is on the road playing a bottom feeder, the public perception always tends to go with the better team. But there is good value in a home dog as they win at about a 42 percent clip in general and even higher when they have a superior or comparable starting pitcher on the mound. Because of the positive odds these teams get, they are great plays and finding the right ones can line a bettor’s pocket pretty quickly.
Superstitions:
I am not overly superstitious, but occasionally I will avoid watching a game I’ve selected for fear that my observation will cause something bad to happen.
