The extra rest served us well. After taking Memorial Day off, we started the week with a perfect 3-0 effort with Tuesday’s Best Bets. That brings us to 102-94-2 overall since we started this Best Bets experiment — good for a solid 52 percent win rate. Let’s keep the momentum with three Best Bets for […]
Dubbs Anderson, former PGA Tour caddy and host of the Props Golf podcast, cashed his top bet (Jordan Speith Top 10 finish) for last week’s Charles Schwab Challenge. Now he’s back with more best bets, props and sleeper picks for the Memorial Tournament, which starts Thursday. In addition to this betting preview, Anderson will release […]
This year’s World Series of Poker represents a return to normalcy but also one of massive change. For the first time since 2019, the WSOP will be held in full in its usual summer slot in Las Vegas, with no COVID-related restrictions. But it won’t be held at the Rio, the WSOP’s home since 2005. […]
After a sizzling start to the 2022 campaign, the Los Angeles Angels are stuck in their first extended funk of the season. So it’s not exactly the ideal time to be visiting Yankee Stadium to face baseball’s best team. But even though Angels vs Yankees odds reveal the Halos as decided underdogs in Tuesday’s series […]
The Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche rank 1-2 in scoring in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. So it’s a pretty good bet that the scoreboard operators will earn their paychecks during the Western Conference Finals, which start Tuesday in Denver. Certainly, the Game 1 total on the NHL playoff odds board reflects that presumption. However, the […]
The Best Bets series is coming off another profitable week, extending its overall record to 99-94-2. That’s a 51.3 percent win rate for those keeping score at home. Our Best Bets selections mostly have been NBA-centric since March Madness ended. But with Game 1 of the NBA Finals not tipping off until Thursday, our crew […]
Was there ever a doubt that the best-of-7 series between the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes would go the distance? And with home ice holding up the entire way, was there ever a doubt which team would be favored on the NHL playoff odds board heading into Game 7? After coming out on the […]
The Southeastern Conference’s grip on college football has never been greater. SEC teams have won the last three national championships and four of the past five. Furthermore, SEC teams are 14-5 all time in College Football Playoff games — and two of those losses came at the hands of another SEC foe. That includes Georgia’s […]
Michigan finally ended an eight-game losing skid against Ohio State last season, also halting the Buckeyes’ four-year Big Ten title streak. If the 2022 Big Ten season win totals are to be believed, Ohio State won’t stay down for long. Matt Lindeman, the senior lead trader at WynnBet, talked to Props.com about how the sportsbook […]
There’s a new favorite on the AL Cy Young odds board — and he just happens to be an old face. That’s right, Houston Astros (once-again) ace and two-time Cy Young recipient Justin Verlander is now favored to take home the hardware for the third time in his career. Not too bad for a 39-year-old […]
NL Cy Young odds have gotten two noteworthy jolts this season. And unfortunately for the New York Mets, they’ve provided both those shake-ups, losing two of the best pitchers in MLB. Just before the season started, Jacob deGrom was shelved by a shoulder issue. He’s still not back in the rotation. Now, Max Scherzer has […]
Oddsmakers thought NBA bettors would be discussing Game 1 of the NBA Finals this weekend, but Jimmy Butler had other ideas. The Miami star poured in 47 points, and the Heat stayed alive as big underdogs at Boston to force Game 7 in the Eastern Conference finals. Boston, the No. 2 seed in the East, […]
