10/27/23: The NBA is Here!  

This is a great time for sports fans. &nbsp;Football is in full swing. &nbsp;Hockey has started – and Basketball is getting set to start. &nbsp;On top of that, there are MLB Playoff games! &nbsp;For the sports bettor, the MLB Playoffs offer fewer opportunities (than the regular season's full lineup of games). &nbsp;On the other hand, many games become PUBLIC games. &nbsp;In addition, swings in momentum can lead to value. &nbsp;In today's MLB action, our analysts circled the Total for a potential play. &nbsp;We currently lean to the Under. &nbsp;Members can login to check if this becomes a triggered play. &nbsp;In College Football, our analysts circled the USC-Utah game as a probable play. &nbsp;Members: Please login to see if the models like the dog or favorite in that match-up! &nbsp;

A look at today's sports action -- including a potential MLB play.  

10/21/23: Sports Saturday (Even MLB!)

In early NFL sports marketplace action, our analysts are keyed up about several potential “Diagonal” plays that indicate smart money is fading the public. &nbsp;Historical results show that this combination or set-up yields an edge of at least 4%-6%+ ATS (Against The Spread). &nbsp;Some of our analysts are also hyped up about some of the big point spreads – which often need bad teams to do good things; or vice versa! &nbsp;However, these more likely have some +EV (Expected Value) ATS as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;In CFB action, our analysts circled the Texas tech and Kansas State game.&nbsp; We currently lean towards Texas Tech as a slight favorite. &nbsp;Members: As usual, please log-in for data-driven plays and up-to-date odds and data. &nbsp;

10/12/23: NHL and More!  

In early sports marketplace action, the betting public likes the visiting Green Bay Packers at +2.5. &nbsp;This normally implies some value on the other side: in this case, the Las Vegas Raiders at home as a slight favorite. &nbsp;<ul><li>In early betting action, the smarter and bigger money is on the Raiders.</li><li>Our analysts circled this game - and are currently eyeing the Raiders. &nbsp;</li></ul>Members: Please login to see if this becomes a triggered play. &nbsp;We will love the Raiders, especially at -2.5; less so at -3, of course. &nbsp;Enjoy the game! &nbsp;&nbsp;

What does the data say about today's Monday Night Football game? 

10/9/23: MNF

In early Thursday Night NFL sports marketplace action, our analysts lean slightly to the underdog visiting Chicago Bears. &nbsp;While this game does NOT have the makings of Super Bowl contenders, the oddsmakers project this to be a close game, with the Washington Commanders a slight 5.5 favorite at home.&nbsp;Currently, the data setup likes the underdog because the bigger (and generally smarter) money is landing on the Bears. &nbsp;It's still early, so please login for up-to-the-minute sports betting info.&nbsp;Another NFL game and potential bet we circled – was the NY Giants, after their pathetic loss on Monday Night Football. &nbsp;In college football, we circled Wisky at home as a bet the public currently doesn't like. &nbsp;Members: Please login for updated info and data-driven sports investments!&nbsp;

9/28/23: Thursday Sports

Hello SIC Blog readers! &nbsp;Here's an early look at Sunday and Monday's NFL action. &nbsp;In particular, our analysts circled the late game: the Monday Night Football game. &nbsp;In early NFL sports marketplace action, the visiting LA Rams are a betting favorite. This generally means that there is value the other way – in this case – the Cincinnati Bengals. &nbsp;Our analysts currently likes the Bengals. &nbsp;This is especially true because while about ⅓ of the bets are on the Rams, about half of the money is on the Bengals. &nbsp;It is still early &nbsp;– so:&nbsp;Members: Please login and check our data closer to game-time to get up-to-the-minute information. &nbsp;

9/23/23: Early Look at the Late NFL Game

Our analysts took an early look at this week's Thursday Night Football matchup. &nbsp;They see an overmatched NY Giant squad, versus the continuously surprising and efficient Brock Purdy, leading the SF 49ers. &nbsp;. &nbsp;Many will remind us that the 49ers are just a very good team, so that the QB merely needs to be solid and avoid mistakes. &nbsp;Either way, Purdy has been doing that. &nbsp;On the other hand early marketplace figures show that a tiny percentage (less than 20%) of bets are on the Giants – even while getting big double-digit points. &nbsp;Members: Pls login by kickoff (plays normally are set about 1 to 2 hours before gamtime) to see if this contrarian play will make the cut! &nbsp;

An early look at Thursday Night Football: take the big dog or not?  

9/20/23: TNF!  

Today, our SIC Blog looks at Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football. In particular, our analysts circled the New Orleans Saints for the early game on Monday Night. &nbsp;In early sports marketplace action only about ⅓ of the bets is on the Saints, but almost half of the big money is on the Saints. &nbsp;As our readers know, we like fading the public, and tracking the big money. &nbsp;Members: Please login to your accounts for updated betting info – especially about 1 to 2 hours before kick-off.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

9/17/23: Sunday Night & Monday Football 

In early college football action, our analysts have circled Virginia as a potential contrarian play against the public. &nbsp;It's still early, but almost nobody likes Virginia – and the spread is juicy at over two TDs. &nbsp;In the NFL, there's some interesting marketplace action, with the public piling onto perennial Super Bowl favorites such as Buffalo and KC after opening day losses. &nbsp;Members: Please login for up-to-date odds and marketplace info (and our long-term data-driven edge!)And in tonight's Thursday Night Football game, Members who logged on to SIC may have noticed a lean towards the Visiting Vikings based on a diagonal play. &nbsp;

9/14/23: Early look at Football

In MLB action today, our analysts circled the Angels. &nbsp;The Angels have both:<ul><li>Contrarian value on them (meaning the Public hates them!) – and&nbsp;</li><li>Sharp / big money is on them! &nbsp;</li><li>We will tail the smart money and go for the rising odds. &nbsp;The odds are now in the +175 range –&nbsp;<ul><li>so we can even win less than 50% of these plays and earn profits! &nbsp;</li></ul></li></ul>&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lest you think we are merely Football Freaks, here's an MLB play.  

9/12/23: MLB Value Play

A slate of NFL games is set to start. &nbsp;Our Members have access to certain data-driven plays that trigger and appear once Members login to their accounts. &nbsp;The plays gain value based on:<ul><li>Contrarian plays (fading the public);&nbsp;</li><li>Following the Smart money – and&nbsp;</li><li>Hitting established patterns (generally slight underdogs) and around certain key football numbers (the 3 and 7, for instance). &nbsp;</li></ul>Please join our Club and support our work. &nbsp;Soon – we ALSO expect to also have an clubhouse for our Members to see comments and thoughts on certain games. &nbsp;&nbsp;In this weekend's games, it looks like we may be fading the New York football teams. &nbsp;Members will have up to the minute info on plays that get triggered. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

A look at the Football marketplace this weekend.  

9/9/23: Football Fun!  

The NFL is here!&nbsp; In tonight's kickoff to the NFL season, we have a very slight lean. &nbsp;And note that that we want to clarify differing actions for some of our readers and members. &nbsp;<ul><li>Some of our members bet ATS or “Against the Spread.”</li><li>Others participate in pools against friends (or very large pools organized by groups or organizations). &nbsp;</li></ul>Sometimes, the actions for these participants can vary widely. &nbsp;<ul><li>In today's kickoff game, we have the KC Chiefs against the Detroit Lions. &nbsp;KC is favored by just -4.5. &nbsp;</li></ul>The sports marketplace activity leads us to a very slight lean for the Lions.&nbsp; Bigger money is on the Lions, although bets are fairly evenly split. &nbsp;<ul><li>Personally, our analysts will probably lay off of this game. &nbsp;Some of our team does not believe in Detroit's hype. &nbsp;</li><li>On the other hand, several pools have locked the point spread at the early opening line closer to KC -6.5. &nbsp;&nbsp;With that kind of point value - especially near the key number of 6, we like the Lions even more.</li></ul>Enjoy the NFL season and thank you to our Members! &nbsp;&nbsp;

As we wind down the dog days of August, and enter football season, we highlight a MLB side today. &nbsp;Our analysts circled one of our diagonal plays in MLB. &nbsp;Currently, we like the Nationals based on the diagonal play (where the public hates the Nationals, but ths smart money likes them). &nbsp;Members: Please login for an up-to-date view of this game as well as other games. &nbsp;

An early call for a Diagonal Play in MLB.  

8/31/23: MLB Side

Many sports fans are excited that College Football starts today! &nbsp;And NFL action starts very soon!&nbsp; Here are some notes as we move into football season – as well as a look at today's board. &nbsp;<ul><li>ONE big thing to remember - especially since the only recent betting game in town – has been baseball – is that while MLB is based on Moneyline odds, football is a point spread sport. &nbsp;<ul><li>Thus, please remember to review the Point Spread betting info for football! &nbsp;</li><li>The Moneyline odds can yield additional information, so that is still shown. &nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul></li></ul>&nbsp;<ul><li>On the Sports Marketplace<ul><li>As usual, the betting odds reflect all of the information that the marketplace offers. &nbsp;Sportsbooks are in the business of making money so the “odds are sharp.” &nbsp;</li><li>Luckily for us, there is also a sector of the betting public who we call the “square public bettor.” &nbsp;&nbsp;<ul><li>On average, “Joe Public" loses money. &nbsp;</li><li>The sportsbooks make money due to the bid-ask / vig / commission spread. &nbsp;<ul><li>In addition, sportsbooks generally lean lines to maximize profit margins (vs. Joe Public!). &nbsp;</li></ul></li><li>Our Sports Investing Club monitors sports betting information and we generally are in the same direction as the sportsbooks.&nbsp;</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul>&nbsp;<ul><li>Today's College Football Board<ul><li>Several games show public interest – but also fair value on both sides. &nbsp;</li><li>Our analysts have several games circled that we have reserved for our paying Members. &nbsp;</li><li>The numbers currently DO back a large dog. &nbsp;<ul><li>We like the huge points in the USC game and may take the huge points (currently 30.5) and San Jose State. &nbsp;</li><li>It often pays to delay getting down on dogs as the line may increase. &nbsp;</li><li>Members: please login to see if this ends up being a triggered play. &nbsp;</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul>&nbsp;
