NFL Week 6: Gamblers Sour on Aaron Rodgers, Pack Prior to Monday Night Football
This hasn't been an ordinary season of FBS and NFL gambling...not so far, at least. Betting "against the public" used to be simple, like hunting for rising Over/Under lines (on which to bet the Under) and inflated moneylines and point spreads on well-known favorites. But a rash of low-scoring results in exhibition and early-season NFL games has caused the O/U to drop … [Read more...] about NFL Week 6: Gamblers Sour on Aaron Rodgers, Pack Prior to Monday Night Football
CFB Week 7 Odds and Predictions: Las Vegas Overvalues its Sons at Vanderbilt
I’ve made a close study of the Las Vegas Bowl over the past couple of years, and it’s amusing how a hometown industry becomes overwhelmed by outside influences and offshore betting action. The result is a moneyline gambler’s bonanza. The formula has gone like this – the Las Vegas Bowl committee selects the Mountain West Conference champion to face a marquee Power-5 program … [Read more...] about CFB Week 7 Odds and Predictions: Las Vegas Overvalues its Sons at Vanderbilt
Week 5 NFL Sunday Picks: Boston Beats D.C. in Battle for ATS Betting Action
There is a mainstream blog that I won't embarrass by naming, but I will tell you that the site is regretfully connected to Real Clear Politics, which is still my favorite political news site in spite of what I just mentioned. (I like RCP's tactic of putting opposing-viewpoint editorials together as a package, with readers encouraged to click on both and vibe each side of the … [Read more...] about Week 5 NFL Sunday Picks: Boston Beats D.C. in Battle for ATS Betting Action
CFB Week 6 Gambling: Navy’s Magic Moneyline and Friday Night Fireworks
Football can be deceptive to the naked eye. A reason so many Power-5 contenders schedule “thrash for cash” games to open the season, for instance, is that it’s hard for fans and pundits to imagine the team ever losing while watching players gallop untouched for TDs. No one needs a full semester to learn the difference between hometown headlines (“Cleveland stuns New York … [Read more...] about CFB Week 6 Gambling: Navy’s Magic Moneyline and Friday Night Fireworks
Liverpool vs Leicester City: Foxes a Sexy Moneyline Pick on Matchday 8
Now we’re talkin’. WagerBop – or myself, personally – had a lousy week making English football predictions prior to the 6th round of Premier League fixtures. Moneylines might be 3-ways and goal spreads push too often to shoot for 60% accuracy, but punters still rightfully expect at least 6+ prevailing picks or maybe 3-5 bargain-priced jackpots out of 10 sets of markets. … [Read more...] about Liverpool vs Leicester City: Foxes a Sexy Moneyline Pick on Matchday 8
NFL Week 4: Gamblers Pass on Pittsburgh in MNF Date With Cincinnati Bengals
As golfer Greg Norman once put it after a disastrous collaboration with swing guru David Ledbetter, "I changed coaches hoping to get to a different level, and I did. I found a level 3 or 4 bars below the old one." The 0-3 Cincinnati Bengals could be the Greg Norman of NFL teams in 2019. Marvin Lewis is gone after several centuries (it seemed) of coaching the Bengals. His … [Read more...] about NFL Week 4: Gamblers Pass on Pittsburgh in MNF Date With Cincinnati Bengals
Premier League Matchday 7: Red Devils, Gunners Cap Week on Tight Moneyline
I’ve got to face up to it. I got the English Premier League very, very wrong on Matchday 6. My record in FIFA is pretty shiny, and I’m still a winner in club football, but man o’ man, a handicapper or 3 has had better days than I did when it the tallies were all counted last weekend. I thought Spurs would handle Leicester City, and after Harry Kane’s goal in the 29th … [Read more...] about Premier League Matchday 7: Red Devils, Gunners Cap Week on Tight Moneyline
Week 5 College Football Odds and Predictions: Gamblers Foresee Red Raiders’ Doom vs Oklahoma
I’ve always been partial to handicapping wide point spreads, which are more likely to arise in college football than for the NFL...assuming the Miami Dolphins aren’t involved. The reason is simple – a big spread simplifies the handicapping. Picking a (-4) line ATS involves an awful lot of potential scenarios that could take place in the 4th quarter. Is the underdog coach … [Read more...] about Week 5 College Football Odds and Predictions: Gamblers Foresee Red Raiders’ Doom vs Oklahoma
