NFL Long Shots: Receiving Yards Futures
I love betting on longshot season-long futures. It’s not an illness — but it’s definitely an indulgence. I view season-long player futures more as profitable entertainments and less as hardcore investments, so when I bet in this market I tend to gravitate toward players who have longer odds (+1000 or higher). I already have two […]

Betting Spreads in NFL – What is ‘juice’?
Betting on NFL football spreads used to be a much simpler process. Most books offered nothing but 11/10 odds or -110 on either side of the game. Whether you were getting a +3 or laying -3, your payout was going to be $0.91 cents on the dollar if you won. If books took heavy action, […]

3 long-shot NFL MVP betting picks for 2021
As I’ve mentioned in my pieces on longshot quarterbacks to lead the NFL in passing and longshot running backs to lead the league in rushing, I view season-long player futures more as profitable entertainments and less as hardcore investments. That doesn’t mean I bet willy nilly without any regards to probabilities and likelihoods, but it does mean […]

Freedman’s Waffle House Challenge – A Postmortem
I thought about giving this article a more SEO-friendly title. Something like, “5 Key Takeaways from My Waffle House Challenge.” But the word “postmortem” feels too appropriate not to include in the title. As I type this sentence, at 10 a.m. CT, the morning after my 15-hour, 10-waffle Waffle House challenge, I have these five thoughts. […]

Long Shots – NFL Passing Yards Betting Futures
In 1984, Dan Marino became the first NFL quarterback in a single season to pass for 5,000 yards — a threshold no other passer managed to cross until Drew Brees in 2008.
