Barry Holthaus - About Me

Barry Holthaus is truly a Vegas insider. A Las Vegas resident since 1996, he is not only a close observer of the Nevada sports betting scene but also an active participant.

In 2007 Barry placed fifth out of 342 contestants in the prestigous Hilton NFL Supercontest with a pointspread record of 52-32-1. That same year, he finished tied for 15th out of 428 entrants in the Leroy's College Football Challenge, the only college football handicapping contest in Las Vegas, with a spread record of 48-36.

Last year Barry was a guest columnist for the Las Vegas Review-Journal providing season-long college football analysis and selections.

In his 14th season betting sports in Las Vegas, Barry will release selections involving the following:

  • Pro Football Regular Season & Playoffs
  • College Football Regular Season & Bowl Games
  • College Basketball Regular Season, NCAA & NIT Tournament Games
  • The Big Ten Conference is Barry's specialty. He is a 1987 graduate of Indiana University with a B.S. in Business and has followed Big Ten football and basketball for more than a quarter-century.

    Barry was a longtime contributor to "The Stardust Line" radio show (1999-2005) and the "Leroy's Sports Hour" (2006-2009). He is a frequent guest on "SportsBook Radio" heard every weekday at 3:00pm PDT on ESPN Radio 1100. The show is archived at http://www.vegasinsider.com/radio/just-for-openers/.

    If you missed out on the generous price of the Dodgers before the NLDS series, you may have a reprieve. The adjusted price of the series after LA won game one is around -135. After James Loney's grand slam, you could feel the air come out of the Cub's baloon. The weight of 100 years of futility is to much in a five game series. There is a good chance the Dodgers will close the series out in LA. If not, the Dodgers will have Lowe to pitch game five back in Chicago.
