Tuesday's NBA best teaser

Last week was our first NBA teaser of the season, and it hit (thank you Milwaukee for covering in overtime). And even with a small slate of games on Tuesday, we got a pair of picks we really like in a teaser.

NFL Week 10 What We Learned: Betting lessons for Week 11

A lot of the trends from the first half of the NFL season have carried over into the start of the second half. And these trends can continue to help you cash in.

NFL Week 10 best teaser

We're officially rolling on the NFL teaser front. We've won a season-high three straight, and as Hall of Fame Broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson would say, "Don't stop now boys."   

College Football Week 11 best teaser

It's been a disappointing season on the college football teaser front, but make no mistake about it, we don't just like this week's teaser, we love it.

Week 10 Nevada College Pick'em Contest picks

This is the final week of the College Pick'em Contest, and the overall leader is 49-23 after going 5-3 last week. However, second place is just one point behind, and third place is just two points behind.

College Basketball best teaser for Thursday

College basketball is officially underway, and you know what that means. It's time for some more teasers! Most D1 teams are done with their exhibition games, and now we can finally bet some games that finally matter.

NBA best teaser for Wednesday

If you've been following our work this season -- you better be -- you know we've been doing our best NFL and College Football teaser each week. And now it's time to do that with basketball, and we're going to kick things off with our best NBA Teaser for Wednesday.

NFL Week 9 recap: What we learned

We're officially halfway through the NFL regular season, and one thing that hasn't changed on the betting front is how the under continues to hit. But that's not the only thing that has remained intact.

Check out this MNF same-game parlay

Week 9 of the NFL season wraps up on Monday night with the Baltimore Ravens vs. the New Orleans Saints, and we've got a nice same-game parlay (SGP) for you to close out the week.

NFL Week 9 best teaser

We've hit back-to-back weeks on our NFL best teaser, and for the first time this season, we're looking to make it three in a row.  

College Football Week 10 best teaser

Last week's teaser didn't come anywhere close to hitting. However, that all changes this week, as we're taking a pair of teams to win by less than a field goal.

Week 9 Nevada College Pick'em Contest Picks

Next week marks the end of the 10-week William Hill Nevada College Pick'em Contest, and with so many contestants within a game of each other for a spot in the top 10, the next two weeks will be critical.

MLB World Series Game 5 SGP

Our Game 4 Same-Game Parlay (SGP) didn't hit — darn you NRFI (no runs first inning), we needed at least one run in the first inning — but what we expected to happen, did happen.

Look for Astros to rebound in WS Game 4

Not only did Philadelphia regain the series lead, but maybe more importantly, they regained momentum. The Phillies spanked the Astros on Tuesday, 7-0, in Game 2 and are just two wins away from winning their first World Series since 2008.

Best World Series Prop Bets

Game 3 of the World Series may have been postponed due to weather, but that's not going to stop us from looking ahead at some World Series prop bets.

NFL Week 8: What we learned

We're nearly halfway through the NFL regular season, and make no mistake about it, there's some serious trends. And paying attention to those trends is the best way to turn last week's lessons into this week's winners.

Houston Astros vs. Philadelphia Phillies: World Series Game 3 Same-Game Parlay

Our World Series Game 1 Same-Game Parlay hit, and there's no reason not to jump on this SGP for Game 3. Despite this series being tied at 1-1, and the Astros being on the road, this SGP primarily focuses on Houston.

Week 8 Nevada College Pick'em Contest picks: It's crunch time

We're getting down to crunch time in the College Pick'em Contest, and our man Jared Shlensky has his picks for Week 8.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Houston Astros: World Series Game 1 'same-game parlay'

Game 1 of the World Series is finally here! The long wait is finally over after both teams cruised to their respective league pennants. Let's celebrate with a same-game parlay.

College Football Week 9 Best Teaser: Oklahoma State, Ole Miss have value

Oklahoma State and Ole Miss may be risky plays on the spread this week, but that's not the case on the teaser. Both teams have just one loss each, and with both teams getting more than a field goal's worth via the teaser, you'd be a fool to not jump on it.

NFL Week 8 Best Teaser: You'll want to jump on this one

Last week's best teaser hit, and now we're trying to make it two in a row for the first time this season. And unlike last week where we took two teams on the spread via the teaser, we're going to only take one on the spread, and the other on the total points.

Giannis puts muscle into this midweek parlay

We might not be able to do any more standard parlays in baseball, but that doesn't mean we can't combine an NBA and NHL game.  

World Series Houston Astros vs. Philadelphia Phillies: Who do ya like in the Series?

The World Series teams are set, and a whole let earlier than most anticipated.  As a result of the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies cruising through the Championship Series, we have to wait till Friday for Game 1 of the World Series. 

NFL Week 8 recap: Last week's lessons are this week's winners

Week 8 of the NFL season is nearly complete, and the same trends from earlier in the season remain constant. That makes those trends even more important for future betting opportunities.

Week 7 Nevada College Pick'em Contest picks

We went 2-6 back in Week 3, and unfortunately, it happened again last week in Week 6. And while we're nowhere close to being in the money, we're still over .500.
