NFL Worst Record Betting Odds
When it comes to handicapping the NFL, the successful mantra is to pick winners (obviously), but one NFL futures market goes against the grain for that mindset, and that’s picking a team to finish with the worst record in the league.

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 […]
