You know what bores me to tears? Traditional sports betting. Moneyline, point spread, total. Just typing those words makes me yawn. I bet sides maybe 10 times a year, and only when I have an absolutely unshakeable conviction. Why? First, these lines are essentially coin flips, hammered into submission by the pros. Second, I’m no…
Chalkboard Fantasy has upped its game, adding “Social Sports Picks” – and some new states – to its growing product offering. The new wrinkle features all the same player statistic projections as the DFS offering, but has added a wide range of game lines to the mix. Chalkboard Fantasy Adds “Picks” – Expands To More…
Sinking an uncomfortable amount of money into DraftKings’ $10 Masters Milly Maker: Now that’s a tradition unlike any other. Here’s the thing: I love DFS, always have, always will. I love the daily puzzle of it all. I honestly — this is not a bit — believe it helps keep my mind sharp as I…
Is it too soon to miss the good ‘ol days of sports betting? Well, probably, but when it comes to NFL Draft betting, I think now is a perfect time to miss the good ol’ days. To wit: The NFL Draft is a little less than six weeks away, and the betting options are sparse.…
Thursday is the true opening day for Major League Baseball, and count me in as someone who is very interested. And when I say “interested,” I mean “interested in playing MLB DFS, not particularly interested in watching the sport. In fact, I probably won’t watch a single pitch all year unless the Mets do something…
Five years later, I still thank the good ol’ KBO. For a certain subset of us, the names are like a call from a long-forgotten universe. Aaron Altherr. Jin Sung Kang. Jose Miguel Fernandez. Hyun Soo Kim. Ji Hwan Oh. I was reminded of those names — and plenty more — as the Los Angeles…
Listen — NFL DFS you can build lineups on the toilet, as Adam Levitan of Establish the Run has often noted. This doesn’t mean they’re good lineups, but still: You can build them on the toilet. Injury reports come out days in advance, and there are rarely “game time decisions” you need to worry about.…
I had a dozen entries into Underdog’s “The Scramble,” a 28-event, seven-month PGA Tour best ball tournament. First (of four) rounds ended Sunday, and I got five of my 12 entries through to the next round, easily beating the expected two out of 12 (more on this in a bit). One of the contests I…
You know what I do precious little of? Watch sports. Here’s what I do watch, somewhat regularly: A game 7 in any sport here and there, baseball when the Mets are officially exciting — not just regular exciting — and NFL football when I can, mostly the night games, rarely a full Sunday afternoon. As…
The NFL season is over. Now what? After nearly 40 years (oh man, I’m old) of playing fantasy football and betting on football, you’d think I’d have an answer to that question. But I don’t. The truth is, I always feel adrift the week after the Super Bowl. After spending five-plus months neck deep in…
The final score of the Super Bowl will be 27-24. I’m not sure who’s going to win, but I am telling you, with absolute certainty, that the final score will be 27-24. Lock of the century. Gold star play. Lead pipe lock. How sure am I? So sure I’m willing to dub it my “platinum-plated…
One of the worst things to ever happen to me – all right fine, one of the worst things to ever happen to me when it comes to gambling – was when the NFL decided to ditch the Pro Bowl. Remember the Pro Bowl? It ran through 2022. It would take place in Hawaii, the…
