There is a reason why some people are extremely successful betting on sports and why others are continually scrambling to keep their bankroll in the black. The successful bettors are either expert handicappers in their own right or smart enough to rely on an expert handicapper for their picks. When the best of the best in this game have a winning percentage in the 60-percent-plus range, betting on sports on a regular basis is not a do-it-yourself project.

A perfect example of this is The Prop Machine's six-year winning track record providing picks for the daily player prop bets that sportsbooks regularly release to add even more action to the games. It offers a complete selection package with prop bet picks for all the major sports, including both college football and NFL, NBA and MLB.

The proof is in the results as last football season alone the return for the $100 bettor following the recommended unit plays on Doc's Sports Unit Betting System was up more than $27,000. The return for the NBA picks during the 2013-14 season was $11,560 on a record of 273-202.

When you add it all up, The Prop Machine generated a profit of $42,000 with all of its selections for 2013-14 time frame.Looking back at this past season in college football, the overall return for all of The Prop Machine's selections, including a highly successful run through the bowl games, stands at plus $19,240 on a record of 192-119. The early returns for this current NBA season have made $100 bettors a quick $4,780 on a record of 98-72.

Current Results

You should always keep in mind that winning money with The Prop Machine is a long-term proposition as the biggest gains are always realized over the course of the entire year. However, that being said, sometimes you can run into a blazing-hot winning streak that can build your bankroll overnight. This has been the case with The Prop Machine's track record during the past three weeks.

This past week's record of 13-9 for all of its player prop bets provided a solid return of $900. When you add that total to the previous two-week run, the $100 bettor following the recommended unit plays would be up $6,300 for the entire three weeks.

Even the picks in the NFL have come full circle after a very challenging regular season with an 11-2 record in the playoffs that have returned $3,380. The net result of all The Prop Machine's selections in all sports for the 2014-2015 time frame are now up a solid $4,960.

Recent Trends

One of the biggest reasons that The Prop Machine's player prop system has been so successful over the past six years is its ability to properly analyze recent trends and current form to uncover which players are being "overvalued" or "undervalued" in light of any betting odds that may be posted for an upcoming game.

Sometimes this analysis can be rather complex in nature as it tries to place a value on these recent trends as opposed to the oddsmakers' tendency to weigh its released player prop odds mainly on season averages and overall performance.

Sometimes this analysis is as simple as reading an injury report and finding the player (or players) that is going to have to step up their game to fill the void. In the case of this Monday night's college football title game between Oregon and Ohio State, the Ducks suddenly find themselves shorthanded in the passing game with the suspension of Darren Carrington and a knee injury to Devon Allen. You know that Oregon is still going to try and move the ball down the field through the air, so Marcus Mariota is bound to find a few other receivers to get the ball to.
