BettingPros Podcast

With Week 2 football in front of us, we're back with another segment of Pick 6 (1:34) as our guest, Andrew Caley of Covers, joins the show. Despite the line moving to -3.5 for the Titans, Andrew still likes them to cover with a healthy Marcus Mariota and Delanie Walker leading the charge (2:25). In the same matchup, we also expect the teams to hit the under in what should be a low scoring affair (5:14). The Chiefs and Raiders shouldn't have issues hitting the over at 53.5 even with Tyreek Hill out (8:47). Be sure to avoid the two biggest trap bets of the week (24:43) including why the Patriots are just too unpredictable in Miami to wager on. If you're looking to have some prop bet fun, consider our two favorites of the week as we close out the show (30:49). Sponsors: BetMGM - New Jersey Sports fans!

Christian Pina, professional sports bettor and host of Inside Vegas on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network joins us as we begin to look ahead to Week 2. Games have wrapped up and lines are available. Thursday's game is where we start off with the Bucs heading to Carolina where the Panthers are 6.5-point favorites with an Over/Under of 50 (5:21).  You can expect sharks to take the Under more often early in the season as defenses are typically ahead of offenses (7:26). The Vikings dismantled the Falcons and could be the biggest public underdog of the week with the Packers at -3, but history tells us Kirk Cousins is not a smart bet (23:01). Is the Over/Under too low for the Cardinals/Ravens matchup (34:23) and what should bettors make of the Patriots being 17.5-point favorites (39:43)? Lastly, what happened to all the hype surrounding the Browns after just one week (52:26)? Sponsor: BetMGM New Jersey Sports fans!

The season has officially kicked off and joining us to give his top picks of the week is Iain MacMillan of OddsShark. Together we've created our new segment of Pick Six (4:34) where we each name out top three favorite games to bet on at the current odds. Despite the Julio Jones question mark, Iain explains why he's a fan of Atlanta covering (5:53) while Dan goes bold with his thoughts on taking the Jaguars at +3 (9:10). Does Week 1 travel make much of a difference (15:33) and should we worry about the unknowns that come with divisional matchups (22:35)? Which games feel like the biggest traps for bettors this week (28:19) and we've got our two favorite prop bets to take on (34:12). Sponsor: BetMGM New Jersey Sports fans!

Sean Green of the Sports Gambling Podcast joins us as we officially enter our in-season schedule with Week 1 set to kick off on Thursday. As you're gearing up to make wagers on the upcoming games, we're diving into each matchup's Game Line and Over/Under to see how the books are trending. The Broncos and Raiders wrap up the first week with their Monday night tilt, but are quite possibly the most boring game of the week (5:10). Despite the Redskins looking severely overmatched, why isn't the line double digits (16:19)? Is -3.5 the right number for the Chiefs (26:48) and what should bettors expect with the matchups with higher uncertainty like CIN at SEA (36:51), NYG at DAL (38:49), and perhaps the most interesting game, IND at LAC (48:04).

It's our final episode of the preseason with real games being played in under a week. As excitement builds, we've got two guests on the show today with David Purdum, writer for ESPN Chalk joining us for the first half (0:54) and Adam Burke of BangTheBook.com helping close out the show (16:11). We start by covering the industry reaction to Andrew Luck's sudden retirement (2:16) and what happens behind the scenes to adjust (5:14). The betting public is driving a Browns/Bears Super Bowl title (9:46), but how does Adam feel about making that bet (17:55)? JuJu Smith-Schuster's odds for leading the league in receiving are too good to pass up (20:33) and collectively speaking, here's why Chris Carson leading the league in rushing (27:09) and in touchdowns (28:08) would be a favorite futures bet of ours.

We are breaking down our favorite team futures bets this week, including division picks, conference champs, and our favorite odds for the Super Bowl winner. Dan is joined by Alex Kolodziej, a sports betting writer for theScore. The pair begin with the NFC North, specifically whether or not the Packers can reclaim the division. We then move on to the AFC East and discuss if there is actually value in betting the Patriots to once again win their division. Some other divisions are covered before we move on to our favorite odds for teams to make the playoffs (28:13). Lastly, we touch on conference winners and make Super Bowl selections (37:18), most notably the Steelers, Eagles, and Vikings. Lastly, Dan gives a longshot Super Bowl pick.

We covered the NFC last week and are now tackling the AFC. Jason Logan, managing editor at Covers, joins us to name his favorite bets in each division. We get the show started with the AFC East as Jason makes his case for the Dolphins hitting the over (7:26). Things get interesting early as we disagree on how many wins the Bills can come up with (10:10) before moving to the AFC North (18:52). The Browns have made a lot of noise this offseason, but is the public way too enthusiastic about this team (24:24)? The AFC South is difficult to make any call on with Andrew Luck's injury news (31:29), but if he were to be cleared, there's an argument to be made for them hitting the over for their projected wins total (33:14). The AFC West rounds out the show and while the Chiefs have a lot going for them, the expectations might just be too high (39:42). Enter to win a FREE signed Christian McCaffrey helmet today.

Sports betting has long been an activity surrounded by legal hurdles within the U.S., but that hasn't stopped the billion dollar industry from taking bets all across the country through Nevada, personal bookies, or offshore betting sites. With the Supreme Court's ruling on May 14, 2018 to legalize sports betting, where does that leave us now? Dustin Gouker, head of Legal Sports Report, joins us on the show to help explain how we got to where we are today (6:48). What made Nevada special throughout these years (11:06), was the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) effective at all (13:20), and how did PASPA get taken down (16:03)? Where is sports betting officially legal now (26:36) and what's the difference between legal vs. operational (27:28)? Lastly, when will sports betting come to your state if it hasn't already (30:04)?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our inaugural episode, football analyst Mike Tagliere joins the show to give his quick insight into how sports betting impacts his research (5:57) and how line movement affects his advice (8:19). We're diving into the NFC and naming the best O/U wins bets (9:45) to kick off our preseason betting advice. Dan feels the Vikings are a good bet to top nine wins while Tags feels the number is spot on (13:03). The Saints defense are a good reason to take the under on 10.5 (15:14) and can the Giants squeak out more than five wins (17:23)? Wrapping up the show, we're touching on the NFC West starting with the 49ers and their 7.5 win total (30:49). Enter to win a FREE signed Christian McCaffrey helmet today.
