NCAA FOOTBALL ...

In 2021 and 2022 Franklin had only 2 College Football Plays each year all were Game of the Year releases. Previous to these 4 plays he had not seriously handicapped for several seasons after being a very successful handicapper for over a decade.

In 2023 Franklin has indicated he will return to a full slate of NCAA football action. He is still not sure he will do the NFL.  

Tom once a NFL only football handicapper has been frustrated by the pro game and discontinued handicapping all football for several seasons. Quoting Tom: "I never do anything that I am not good at."  I am a bad loser and I sure as "hell" am not going to beat my head against a wall betting football or any sport if I can not show a profit. 

Editor's Notes: It obviously was the mind set of Franklin for several sports seasosns as he completely shut down his operations. 

OLDIES BUT GOODIES - Past Historical Data and Old Headlines

Tom Franklin is a no nonsense type of guy. He is a stat man. He historically has always been a MLB guy but he will begin offically capping the NFL late in 2018. His approach to handicapping sports is a simple one. Sportsmasters
Tom Franklin's SPORTSMASTERS' documented baseball record is an impressive one. THESWAMI.COM is excited to have him back again for the baseball and looks forward to his NFL selections once he opens up shop late in 2018. .
His GOW/GOM/GOY releases are legendary. (65-24) as he enters the 2016 MLB . Oh my goodness........Keep an eye on these beauties as they unfold in 2016.
In just 6 documented winning seasons with The Sports Monitor Inc of Oklahoma City (2007-2011 and 2013 and 2014) he won over $120,000. Entering the 2015 baseball action Sportsmasters has earned + $120,000 during all regular season action. His impressive (19-5) Game of the Month mark is well documented. He is (13-4) on his GOM totals and also (6-1) on GOM side plays. His GOY releases are (3-1).  His Games of the Week are a cool (35-13). (21-10) on sides and (14-3) on
totals.

That folks is an impressive (65-24) on Speciality MLB plays heading into 2015 playoffs... Entering the 2015 MLB Playoffs Franklin tally of (9-3) on Top Plays and (46-24) +23,351 units . If he holds true to his usual pattern, about half of his selections will be underdogs and about 25% will involve totals. Franklin, who uses a very intricate statistical computer program to assist him, has been able to grade and balance his selections to out perform 95% of the competition to date. In 2015 he   returned to his old form of releasing only about 15 to 20 % of his plays as Top rated ones. In 2013 and 2014 he experimemnted with releasing 50% of his plays as Tops and has been disappointed in his overall average results despite producing winning seasons in each year.
FROM FRANKLIN'S DESK:
"I run the numbers and compared the line value to my numbers. If betting line is off my line by a margin I believe to be sufficient I release the play. The wider the varience the higher the rating."
"I have professionally handicapped since 2007. However since 1974 I have been involved with baseball and gaming. My record stands for all to see. My baseball and football programs have been monitored by The Sports Monitor Inc. of Oklahoma City and theswami.com and The Handicapper's Report Card. I am excited and look forward to reuniting with theswami.com and my clients."
