Wagering on individual player props for NFL, NBA and MLB games can be a very lucrative way to boost your overall betting bankroll, but you have to know what you doing with these types of plays to avoid letting these props become an actual drain on your available funds.

The Prop Machine came off a very successful run through last year's NFL season to post a net gain of over $15,000 during the NBA regular season. It did not stop there with a winning weekend for both the NBA Playoffs and a fast start with its prop bet selections for MLB.

The key to this success is understanding how to find the value in individual players. The oddsmakers rely heavily on season averages and trends when releasing their prop odds for all three of these leagues. The Prop Machine's edge is uncovering which of these players are undervalued or overvalued given their current form. It then combines its picks with Doc's Sports' Unit Betting System to maximize the potential profit from a couple of the oddsmakers' bad daily betting lines.

Last Week's Results

With the NBA regular season winding down last week, The Prop Machine turned its full attention to MLB player props to turn in a net profit of $720 on the strength of an overall record of 13-8. It nailed its first six picks of the week to deliver a profit of $2,400 to $100 bettors. This amazing run cooled a bit with a combined record of 7-8 over the past four days, but the net result is a fast start to what should be a very profitable run all spring and summer long in MLB player props.

The Prop Machine is far from finished with the NBA after posting a 4-1 record during Sunday's playoff games for a profit of $1,160 for $100 bettors using Doc's Unit Betting System. It has now delivered a plus return on investment in the NBA in 10 of the last 14 days it has released picks for a total profit of $2,620. This makes it a perfect time to get on board with both a NBA Playoff and MLB regular-season package from The Prop Machine.

Future Trends

The hype was running high when the New York Yankees landed Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, and so far the biggest prize in this past offseason's MLB free agent market has delivered. The Prop Machine has jumped all over his early-season results and does not see any reason why the right-hander will stop delivering in the short term.

In 22 innings of work, Tanaka has tallied 28 strikeouts while posting an overall ERA of 2.05. His most deadly pitch is a splitter, which has obviously confused quite a few of the batters he has already faced. This may not be the case later in the season when hitters have had a chance to adjust, but The Prop Machine sees this trend lasting into the near future as he continues to face different players with each additional MLB start.

You always have to remember that betting on sports is not a sprint, but rather a marathon. There are no "quick get-rich quick" schemes in this business and you can never consider anything a "lock". Hard work and paying close attention to details have allowed The Prop Machine to deliver a profit of $41,500 over the past year, but as a bettor, you have to be committed to the long-term by following its recommended selections on a daily basis.

The Prop Machine Free Pick

The last three free picks that The Prop Machine has released for this weekly article have all found the "winner's circle" for a return of $1,200 for $100 bettors following the recommended unit play.
