Between the NBA playoffs and the start of another MLB regular season, it's a great time of the year to pick up some extra cash by wagering on any number of individual player prop bets that are released on a daily basis by oddsmakers for both sports. Just remember, it's one thing to bet on these props, and it's another to provide a steady stream of cash to help fuel your overall bankroll.

That is why you should sit back and let The Prop Machine do all the heavy lifting when it comes to releasing winning selections for these types of bets. The Prop Machine's professional approach to handicapping these player props does not revolve around a get-rich-quick scheme, short-term plays or guesswork. It uses a proven system of identifying current value in each player's numbers for that given week.

The Prop Machine has become an expert at exploiting the bad lines that either overvalue or undervalue a player by pitting their current form against the season averages that are often times the sole basis for setting the odds.

The Prop Machine's overall return for the past year has reached $43,000. Right now it is hitting on over 58 percent of both its NBA and MLB selections, and that number has continued to rise over the past three weeks. Just this past week, the combination of the picks released for both sports produced a hit rate of 67 percent.

Just as a reminder for this upcoming fall, The Prop Machine's record for college football prop bets was 207-140 in 2013, and it connected on 59 percent of its NFL selections last season with an overall record of 275-189.

Last Week's Results

It was another banner week for The Prop Machine with a 14-7 record in the MLB that produced a $2,260 profit for $100 bettors utilizing Doc's Sports Unit Betting System. Its record for the NBA playoffs last week was 8-4 for a profit of $1,220.

Looking back at the last 33 selections released by The Prop Machine, the overall record comes in at 22-11 for a profit of $3,470 for $100 bettors, which is not too shabby when it comes to simply betting on player props.

The week started off with an incredible Monday run that finished the day with a record of 8-1 and a one-day total return of $2,760 using Doc's Unit Betting System. The Prop Machine was a perfect 3-0 that day on its NBA selections.

The numbers were not nearly as big in the days that followed, but with the exception of $40 loss on Friday, the numbers were in the black every other day through Saturday's action. The only big downturn was a 1-3 record on Sunday's picks including a $600 setback on the "over 3.5" on John Wall's free throws in Washington's loss to Indiana.

Future Trends

One of the most important aspects of The Prop Machine's continued success is the ability to also identify short- and long-term trends. You have to know how long to ride something before its starts to cool. Right now the "under 2" in MLB hits, RBI and runs has been running hot for a couple of weeks to the tune of a sterling 9-0 record this year. The Prop Machine is looking to squeeze a bit more juice out of this trend over the coming days.

Last week it identified the under on Blake Griffin props as a continuing trend and that led to a 3-1 record in four under picks. After two strong performances in his last two games, look for the Clippers' star to be slightly overvalued again this week.

The Prop Machine Free Pick

The Prop Machine's current winning streak for its weekly free picks reached six with last week's four-unit "under 15 points" (-130 Sportsbook.ag) play on Brooklyn's Paul Pierce in Game 1 against Miami. He ended the night with just eight points. This means that anyone who has bet these selections during this run would have a profit of $2,400 on a $100 wager.

Maybe it is time that you start to cash in on The Prop Machine's money train with this week's free pick. The Prop Machine is going with the "under 10.5 points" (-115 Sportsbook.ag) on Brooklyn's Shaun Livingston in Monday night's Game 4 against Miami. Livingston has averaged 9.5 points through 10 previous playoff games.
