As an avid sports bettor, you are probably always looking for an edge against the sportsbooks. While there are any number of services out there that claim they can provide a steady stream of winning picks, it is extremely important to save your hard-earned money for the ones that have already proven they can deliver the goods.

One betting system that has been doing just that for the past six years has been The Prop Machine. Its selection packages cover the wide variety of daily player prop bet odds for all the major sports that are released to go along with the games themselves. This system's success is directly tied into the ability to uncover the true value of a particular player in light of his specific posted prop bet odds. These odds are normally heavily weighted towards season averages as opposed to current form, which often times results in the release of bad betting lines on almost a daily basis.

The Prop Machine's winning percentage for football has topped 60 percent in each of the six seasons, and four seasons have exceeded 66 percent. Last football season alone when you combine the results for both the college ranks and the pros, The Prop Machine produced a $27,000 return for $100 bettors that followed the recommended unit plays using Doc's Sports Unit Betting System.

The return for the NBA last season was more than $11,000, and all told, if you were aboard for the entire ride during the 2013-14 season, your return for that time frame betting on all The Prop Machine's player prop selections would have been over $42,000.

Current Results

The hot hand for The Prop Machine's weekly selections continues to be college football with a season-to-date return of $17,260 for the $100 bettor following the recommended unit plays. This system has really cleaned up with its Saturday plays by churning out a record of 113-57 over the past nine weeks. Not only does this equate to a solid winning percentage of 66 percent, but it has raked in over $16,000 during this run.

This past week's results for all sports cut into the total return with a $3,260 loss on a record of 14-18, but there have been countless times when a down week has been followed by a huge return for the following week's selections. With a lull in the action in college football right now, The Prop Machine is gearing up for a profitable run through an extended bowl game season.

The other highlight has been The Prop Machine's +$1,120 return in the NBA so far on a record of 48-37. This followed a very productive season for MLB player props that ended with a solid gain of $1,860.

Prop bet picks for the NFL have been a challenge all season long in a cat-and-mouse game with the sportsbooks, but despite a 122-143 record through the first 14 weeks of the regular season, the final few weeks and the upcoming NFL playoffs will offer a number of opportunities to make up some ground.

Recent Trends

Two of the best predictors for future results are a combination of recent trends and current form. The better you understand how someone has performed in the very recent past, the better you can extrapolate those results to determine the current value of that particular player. This information is then used to formulate selections in light of any prop bet odds that have been released for an upcoming game.

To try and duplicate the experience and expertise that The Prop Machine has developed over the past six years in utilizing recent trend information to make betting selections would be next to impossible. These facts and figures are constantly in flux from one week to the next, and this betting system is specifically designed to account for these changes. This is especially true with sports such as basketball and baseball where multiple games in just one week can have a major impact on any player's trends and form.

The Prop Machine Free Pick

The Prop Machine's free pick for last week's article was a 4-Unit play for NFL Monday Night Football. It went with the "over" 60.5 (-115 Sportsbook.ag) on Miami running back Lamar Miller's total rushing yards against the New York Jets. The Dolphins ended up getting a much-needed 16-13 win, but Miller came up just short of this number with 56 yards on 13 carries. That is the way it goes sometimes in the player prop bet business.

To change things up a bit after a couple of off weeks with these free picks, The Prop Machine decided to turn its attention to the NBA for this week's free pick. It is going with a 4-Unit play on the "over" 27.5 (-115 Sportsbook.ag) on Cleveland's Kyrie Irving's total combined points and assists in Monday night's game against Brooklyn.
