There is so much action on the sportsbooks' board this time of year between the college football bowls, the NFL Playoffs and the NBA regular season that it is very easy to get carried away when it comes to wagering on the games. Nothing is a sure thing when it comes to betting on sports, but there are some solid ways that you can gain an edge against the books such as The Prop Machine's proven system for successfully picking individual player props.

The Prop Machine has been at this game for more than six seasons, and in all that time it has yet to post a losing record for all of its picks combined. Going back to the 2013-14 season of all its picks, the return for the $100 bettor following the recommended unit plays from Doc's Sports Unit Betting System would have been up $42,000 if they were along for the entire ride. The return for football alone hit $27,000, and The Prop Machine generated a profit of $11,560 last season in the NBA. The Prop Machine also released selections for Major League Baseball and on a very limited basis the NHL.

The main thing to keep in mind when you get aboard this money train is that The Prop Machine is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme or some overnight sensation. These types of profitable results are generated over the long haul through an ongoing combination of player prop picks for whichever sports are in action at any given time. While The Prop Machine may be down big one week for the NFL, it is making that money back and then some with its college football selections. The other important aspect of this system is following the recommended plays to ensure that you are creating the maximum return on investment.

Current Results

After a few weeks of minor gains and losses, The Prop Machine struck gold with last week's selections in what turned out to be a huge Christmas gift for its loyal subscribers. The Prop Machine released 30 selections and was able to cash in on 20 of those picks. That means that the $100 bettor following the recommended plays would have pocketed a cool $3,400.

Most of the player prop picks were in college football bowl games and the NBA, and if you take a closer look at The Prop Machine's year-to-return for both of these sports you would understand why. It is up more than $17,000 this season just on Saturday's college football picks, and after going on an 11-5 run in the NBA, the total return this season now stands at plus $4,300.

The NFL has been a drain on the bankroll all season long, so instead of trying to beat the books at their own game, The Prop Machine gave the play-for-pay league the week off. That may change this Saturday and Sunday with the start of the NFL Playoffs.

Recent Trends

The whole premise of The Prop Machine's proven system for winning prop bet picks is aligning recent trends and current form with the actual player prop bet odds that the sportsbooks release in conjunction with their betting odds for the games. Many times, these player prop odds are weighted heavily on season averages and overall performance, which in turn, leads to certain players being "overvalued" of "undervalued" on any given night.

The Prop Machine weighs its selections on a deep analysis of a player's recent trends and current form to uncover where the gaps may exist in the actual player's value. Just because someone was hot last month or even last week does not mean they will be as hot in their next game or two.

The Prop Machine Free Pick

Looking back at last week's free pick for Doc's Sports, The Prop Machine went with a 4-Unit play on the "over" 25.5 (-115 Sportsbook.ag) for Dirk Nowitzki's total points and rebounds in last Monday night's Dallas Mavericks' home game against Atlanta. He ended the night with 16 points and six rebounds to come in under the set betting line in his team's 105-102 loss to the streaking Hawks.

This time around, The Prop Machine has turned to Monday night's college bowl schedule for this week's free pick. It is going with a 4-Unit play on the "under" 76.5 yards receiving (-120 Sportsbook.ag) for Texas wide receiver John Harris in the Longhorns Texas Bowl matchup against Arkansas.
