Jim Feist has been in the business a long time and his website is relatively reputable although he's more about selling services these days then actually focusing on handicapping but I'm sure he does both very well. Northcoast Sports is another great service that is completely dedicated to football and they do an outstanding job. When evaluating any website to provide you with sports handicapping information for football, baseball or any sport be very cautious. The best handicappers in the world, in their best year ever will be 60-65% accurate. A record in the 58-59% range is outstanding and anything over 55% is solid. Sure, everybody has hot streaks that may even last a few weeks with excellent success, but long term claims of 80% plus accuracy simply aren't true. Ultimately you'll judge for yourself if you use a service. But judge them not only on win-loss but on quality of handicapping and analysis. A handicapper can lose a game they were right about and win a game they were wrong about.

I have seen many different commercials for the NFL that showed a single player in action with a glow aroound him. I would like to do something similar to this but I dont know if they mask frame by frame or if they use some other method to mask the player. The initial backgrounds were multicolored and complex in most of the footage used so I they could not use a simple green key. Anyone know of how they do these effects?Thanks. Hi everyone.
