A new season of college basketball is upon us, and after grinding through the difficulties of a worldwide pandemic, I think it’s safe to say we are all ready for a bit of normalcy when it comes to the sport. If you played college basketball DFS last year, you dealt with game cancellations, player scratches […]

The goal of this article is, of course, to provide winning picks. However, it’s also to provide a blueprint on how to cleverly bet props with math.

With 2021-22 men’s college basketball season about a week away from tipping off, I’ve put together a list of the 10 most impactful coaching changes around the NCAA.

The PGA Tour is jumping from Bermuda down to Mexico for the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba. The course this week, El Camaleón, is a rather unique for the PGA Tour; it perhaps has the smallest advantage for driving distance. This isn’t to say distance is a disadvantage here, but golfers who typically gain […]

The best way to describe Week 8 of NFL action is with a cheesy ‘90s song. “Who let the dogs out?” was the theme of this week as favorites and chalk bettors got crushed. Not just against the spread either — they got crushed ATS And outright in Week 8. We did not have a […]

With the historic 75th NBA season underway, sportsbooks like DraftKings have had to stay on top of NBA win totals odds as each game passes. Some  good teams have struggled and some bad teams have played above expectations. One team in the Brooklyn Nets may have struggled to start the year without all-star Kyrie Irving but still […]

With the college basketball season quickly upon us, here are my favorite future national title winner bets to place before the season kicks off.

If you’re interested in seeing who will become household names and have the biggest impact on this season, we took the time and did the research ranking the top 100 players in the country. The players were ranked based on a combination of […]

Across the sports betting market, there tends to be strong uniformity in NFL sides, totals and moneylines — but not total uniformity.
