Computer Program Predictions 67% Accurate, Eclipses Industry Leaders
WASHINGTON, D.C.--(Business Wire)--
Today, Sharp Football Analysis, LLC, introduced a new standard in accuracy to
the billion dollar business of handicapping NFL games. Whereas current top
programs claim results of 55% on "best bets" over a sustained period of time,
the computer program designed and developed by Sharp Football Analysis has
recorded 67% accuracy for over three straight years, including predicting the
exact margin of victory for last year's Super Bowl two weeks prior to the game.
More information can be found at www.sharpfootballanalysis.com. 

Created by an engineer and a long time fan of professional football, Sharp
Football Analysis uses a proprietary computer program to predict game results
and compare the output with lines issued by Las Vegas. Each week, the program
scans upcoming NFL season games and selects those which contain the strongest
characteristics for success in terms of "against the spread" (predicting the
team who will win and by how many points), and "totals" (the amount of points
both teams combine to score). 

Over the course of the past three consecutive years, Sharp Football Analysis has
a combined win percentage of 67% while releasing over 350 plays. This is a
remarkable feat considering that as higher numbers of plays are released, it
becomes increasingly difficult to maintain industry leading rates. 

For three years, Sharp has achieved:

* "Against the spread" results in excess of 63% each year, and an average of 66%

* "Over the total" results in excess of 65% each year, and an average of 80% 
* "Under the total" results in excess of 58% each year, and an average of 63%

Furthermore, while the program does not begin producing totals plays until the
fourth week of the NFL season - at which point there is enough data for a
certain level of confidence - in Week 3 of the current NFL season, Sharp
recorded a 4-1 (80%) record. And this past weekend, Week 4, Sharp recorded a 6-2
(75%) record. 

According to the Wall Street Journal, each year more than 100 million Americans
wager an estimated $96 billion on sports games. While bookmakers are undoubtedly
the main "winners" when bets are made, Sharp is working to reverse that trend
and allow the public to make record profits.

About Sharp Football Analysis, LLC

The computer program used by Sharp Football Analysis was originally created in
2002 and was a full five years in development before it began predicting
outcomes in the 2006 NFL season. Unlike many highly guarded secrets in the
handicapping business, Sharp Football Analysis has made a point to publicly
share the results each and every week in order to assist the public with their
plays. This strategy has been met with controversy on talk radio and from those
in the handicapping industry. The computer program is now 10-3 (77%) thus far in
the 2009 season, after launching its first complete weekend of plays this past
weekend. For additional information please visit www.sharpfootballanalysis.com.
