If you are looking to create a winning edge when it comes to wagering on both college football and the pros, you should give serious consideration to adding player prop bets to your overall betting strategy. There is often time a ton of value to be found in these types of wagers on a weekly basis, but you have to know how and where to look to find it.

Fortunately, The Prop Machine brings a six-year winning streak to the table when it comes to wagering on player prop bets for all the major sports. When it comes to betting on football, its winning percentage has been well above 60 percent, and in four of the last six seasons it has topped 66 percent. Last season alone, the total return on its season-long selections eclipsed $27,000 for the $100 bettor that followed its recommended unit plays with the help of Doc's Unit Betting System.

The secret to The Prop Machines ongoing success lies in its ability to uncover the true value of players based on recent trends and current form. The sportsbooks rely way too heavily on season averages and past performance, so there are always bad betting odds out there that either "overvalue" of "undervalue" a player's potential performance in any given matchup.

Last Week's Results

Sometimes when it comes to wagering on sports you have to take the good with the bad and hope that somehow you still end up ahead when it all gets added up. The Prop Machine has been killing it the past four Saturdays in college football with a 70 percent plus hit rate on its selections. This past Saturday it went 19-6 on 25 college player props for a single-day profit of $4,720. Over the course of this four-week run, The Prop Machine's total record for Saturday's college football props is 69-30 for an incredible return of $12,520 for the $100 bettor using the recommended unit play.

The bad news is an ongoing slump in the NFL that has heavily cut into these winnings with a record of 82-91 that has resulted in a loss of $11,660. The Prop Machine continues to work out some of the kinks in the system for the NFL this season, and since we are only in Week 8 of a 17-week schedule there are still plenty of opportunities to get back into the black with the NFL player prop selections it releases.

Recent Trends

The use of recent trends when it comes to player props is a valuable tool to analyze and predict potential future results. When it comes to the NFL, a team's tendencies also come into play when releasing player prop picks. If a team is weak against the run, that could set up an opportunity for an opposing team's top running back to have a big game his next time out against that particular team.

Football is no doubt a game of matchups, and when it comes to wagering on player props The Prop Machine is constantly breaking down possible mismatches where a player's recent trends and current form can be used to exploit a team's weakness.

For example, last week against Pittsburgh, the Browns ran the ball 36 times in that lopsided win. That could set the table for a big night for Arian Foster when the Houston takes on the Steelers this Monday night.

The Prop Machine Free Pick

The Prop Machine's current slide continued for its weekly free pick after New York Jets' tight end Jace Amaro failed to go over 35.5 yards (-125 Sportsbook.ag) in receptions in last Thursday's lopsided loss the New England. He did have three catches on the night after being targeted five times, but it only added up to a total of 22 yards.

This sets the current record on free football picks this season at 2-5, which would equate to a -$1700 loss for the $100 bettor following The Prop Machine's recommended play on Doc's Unit Betting System. Overall, The Prop Machine is still ahead of the game with its weekly free picks after going 13-5-1 this past summer in NBA and MLB prop bet selections for a positive return of $2,760.

This week's free pick is in Monday night's NFL game between Houston and Pittsburgh, with The Prop Machine going with a 4-unit play of the "under" 19 (-125 Sportsbook.ag) on Texans' quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's pass completions.
