Frank Sawyer has run his Hollywood Sports service for over 20 years -- which has been a number #1-ranked sports service by the Sports Monitor in Oklahoma City. Frank is an active writer-producer in the movie industry. Early in his film career, Frank developed the reputation of being a sharp and profitable sports bettor. Soon, many of Hollywood’s biggest A-list stars, directors and producers were going to Frank to bet the games he was playing. From this, "Hollywood Sports" was born when Frank decided to offer the betting public the same games he and his friends in the movie industry were playing.
Hollywood Sports has earned the reputation for offering detailed analysis with a distinct perspective. Frank does look to trends and systems -- but he feels it is just as important to incorporate his intuitive feel and a critical examination for the specific situation at hand. This combination creates a very unique and thorough method to handicapping.
Hollywood Sports has some basic principles regarding how he handicaps.
Frank believes the job of the handicapper is to identify value in plays especially when overvalued teams are playing undervalued teams. Frank is always on the lookout for overrated or underrated teams. Frequently, bettors get wrapped up in the "recency effect" where the last impression becomes the controlling impression often reinforced by the talking heads on 24-hour sports channels. This often creates valuable betting opportunities. Hollywood Sports won’t over-hype games and does not offer nonsense. For over 20 years, Frank Sawyer has been in it for the long haul. Hollywood Sports has been profitable in all three major sports.
Frank believes the key to this success is that he understands that each sport is different -- not only in the way to handicap from game-to-game but also the way to then invest in each sport.
Hollywood Sports understands that money management is as an important component to long term profits as is picking winners. Frank generally ranks his games as 10*, 20* and 25* plays. This star system helps to serve as a guide regarding the recommended money management: 10* plays warrant one’s standard bet; 20* plays are strong enough to warrant a doubling of one's standard bet; 25* plays are Frank's highest rated play and it is recommended to invest 2.5 to 3 times one’s standard bet.
