by Doc's Sports - 9/26/2018

Hockey is king in Canada. This I know from experience. In the majority of U.S markets, hockey is almost an afterthought compared to the popularity of the NFL, NCAA, NBA and MLB. But after last year's thrilling postseason that ended with a Washington Capitals' Stanley Cup parade, it's time to start giving hockey a chance.

NFL ATS: What to Look for when Betting Against the Spread
by Chris Vasile - 9/25/2018

Football is king. That we know. What we should also know is that while the NFL takes the honors in terms of coverage, revenue, and everything in between compared to the NCAA, the on-field product is suffering from a lack of clarity and consistency pertaining to the rules. Since each game is officiated by a different crew, there is almost no consistency on what rules are being enforced correctly and what rules are being forced incorrectly. Because of that, teams need to adjust on the fly and bettors need to do the same if they want to keep their bankrolls intact.

How to Bet on College Football: Tips, Advice and Proven Wagering Strategy
by Chris Vasile - 9/13/2018

Football is king. That we know. What we should also know is that while the NFL takes the honors in terms of coverage, revenue, and everything in between, the on-field product is at an all-time low. The action is just all around sloppy. And if you combine that with penalties, unclear rules, and inconsistent officiating, you'll understand why the NFL will continue to play second fiddle to the NCAA on an enter-tainment level. On a betting level, the NFL still reigns supreme. However, betting on college football has more upside and value to it if you know what you are doing.

by Chris Vasile - 9/13/2018

Contrary to popular belief, most people who bet on horse racing have no idea what's going on or what the best way to make money is. They generally stick to a favorite number, or color of the saddle cloth, or horse color for that matter, and hope to get lucky. If it's your lucky day, sure, you may win a few bucks, but it won't break the bank.

Exotic Horse Betting: Exactas, Trifectas and Superfecta Tips and Analysis
by Chris Vasile - 8/28/2018

Nothing says "summer" better than a trip to the racetrack and several ice-cold drinks while basking in the sun and skimming through the daily racing program. Unfortunately, only a small amount of the betting public actually knows how to dissect the program properly, which gives them a bit of an edge when it comes to placing their wagers. Most amateurs or leisure bettors stick to the simple bets like win, place or show despite the potential of a massive payout when playing the exotics. For those of you who don't know what an "exotic" is, it's simply a fancy word for playing the Daily Double, Exacta, Trifecta, and Superfecta.

How to Bet on NASCAR: Expert Tips and Advice
by Chris Vasile - 8/24/2018

Sleep on NASCAR at your own peril, but NASCAR is one of the most popular sports in the United States, especially in the southern part of the country. NASCAR is the fastest sport on the planet, with cars reaching upwards of 200 MPH on an oval racecourse. Because NASCAR is big in the warmer-climate states, NASCAR essentially runs all year long, culminating in the year-end Monster Energy Cup that de-clares the season's champion.

Power Rankings: Tutorial and How They Help Us in Sports Betting
by Chris Vasile - 8/23/2018

If you were to ask 10 different people how they felt about a certain team, you would get 10 different answers. The beauty of sports is that every fan is unique and has the ability to form their own opinion on how a team could get better or why they are so bad in the first place. There are very few, if any, that are universally agreed upon as the "best" team in their respective league. Off the top of my head, the Golden State Warriors come to mind, and maybe Manchester City based on how dominant they were last year in the English Premier League.

The Most Common MLB Baseball Betting Mistakes to Avoid
by Chris Vasile - 7/31/2018

We are now into the "unofficial" second half the Major League Season, and it has been one hell of a ride so far. There have been blowouts, pitching duels, ejections, injuries, trade speculation, a potentially controversial home run derby result, and a surprisingly entertaining All-Star Game. As bettors, the mid-summer break always seems to catch us at the right time. It gives us time to rest and focus our attention elsewhere for a short period of time. It also gives us time to analyze the data and records we have kept, starting with any futures plays and every wager since then.

Learn to Bet on NCAA College Football: Expert Tips and Advice
by Chris Vasile - 6/2/2018

While the NFL is the most-wagered-upon sport in North America, college football is the most exciting brand of football you can watch on TV. The passion these kids play with is second to none, and the century-old rivalries amongst some of college's elite programs makes that one game a season sometime mean so much more than a national title. Since Michigan is generally out of the CFP discussion by November, their game against Ohio State is the most important of their season. Michigan wants to beat Ohio State so badly that some of the fan base would considered their season a success if that's the only marquee win of the year.

Proline Versus Online Sportsbook: Expert Tips and Advice
by Chris Vasile - 5/17/2018

For nearly a decade I promoted and defended Proline like it was my job. It was the only avenue I knew of where I could legally bet on sports, and I thought I could beat the odds and turn a profit over the long haul. As I grew older and began to understand the concept of implied odds, and true odds, I realized that there was no "beating" Proline. I was introduced to the world of online sportsbooks and its great odds and millions of wagering options, and from that moment on I vowed never to play another Proline ticket again.

How Live Sports Betting Works: In-Game Wagering Expert Advice and Tips
by Chris Vasile - 5/16/2018

Back in the old days, when bookies were taking bets via phone calls and updating their odds on chalk boards, the only way to get some good information was by reading the local newspaper, and mostly sports betting was comprised of the "pre-game" bet on the outright winner, the point spread or the total. There was no such thing as "in-game" betting because people didn't have the capacity to set lines in real time and avoid losing a fortune.

by Chris Vasile - 5/16/2018

It's one of the worst losses you can suffer when betting on sports, and it doesn't matter if you are a novice sports bettor or a professional bettor that's been around the block a few times, losing by the dreaded half point (also known as the "hook") can trigger your entire day and send you into a full-on rage. Some would say that losing a bet via "the hook" is entirely the bettor's fault, not the actual players' or coaches'.
