Larry Ness has been a major figure in the sports handicapping field since 1984. In 1985 Larry joined the cast of Proline, the nation's longest-running pre-game handicapping show, that still airs in 2004 on the USA TV Network. That same year, Larry was part of the team of handicappers that won the Castaway's Pro Football Challenge, then the most prestigious handicapping contest in Las Vegas.

Larry remained as a panelist on Proline through 1995. In 1996, Larry was named host of Sports Desk, a pre-game show that also aired on USA. Over the next three years, Larry not only hosted that show but was a guest panelist on Proline, plus hosted Proline's Basketball Edition. In 2000, Larry joined the panel of another national TV pre-game show named the Winning Edge, airing on Pax TV. In 2002, that show moved to Fox Sports net.

Larry is well-known on TV for his expert game analysis and no-nonsense handicapping style. Larry however, might be best known for his radio work. Throughout the 1980's, Larry was a much sought after guest on numerous West Coast and national radio shows. In 1990, Larry was named host of his own sports talk show, Sports Central. Five nights a week through 1996, Larry's popular call-in show aired live, from the Sports Book of Bally's Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. What began as a local and West Coast show, grew to a nationally syndicated show carried by as many as 100 stations across the country on the One-on-One Radio Network, now known as the Sporting News Radio Network.

Since 1997, Larry has continued to be a frequent guest on sports radio shows across the nation, lending both his handicapping expertise and sports commentary. In 2004, Larry will be returning to his first love. Beginning in late August, he will be teaming with his long-time friend and former co-host of Bally's Sports Central, Fred Wallin. Larry and Fred will co-host This Week in College Football and This Week in Pro Football airing every Saturday and Sunday morning this football season.
