So apparently, back in the day, they wore knee pads in the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

@JustinHerzig Interested and happy to help

It was impressive how dialed in the sharps were last night to the Miami v. Notre Dame game. They were taking the Over at 50.5 or less, and the Under at 51.5 or more. And yes, the game ended at 51. 🙌

Expertise, analytics and professional grade tools matter.

Why are so few sports bettors profitable? They don't take the time to understand the math. And unfortunately, the media is often just as lazy. Take @ESPN below. They apparently don't realize they've transcribed the odds. -115 = an implied 53.5% chance of winning. -105 = 51.2%. 🤯

Buried within the BS Republican Budget bill is a provision that harms poker players and those who gamble by limiting loss deductions. I’m working on a legislative fix that fairly treats gaming losses in the tax code.

Justin Thomas' first 5 turns at this year's British Open: 33, 35, 45, 33, 31. Serious question: Has anyone ever shot a 45 on 9 in a major and been in contention? #BritishOpen #royaltroon

I thought this was one of the best and most thought provoking pieces I've read in a while. Well done @kwharrison13

So this happened last night. I had the Celtics to Win parlayed with Derrick White > 10 pts. Both were losing bets with 0.2 seconds left, then luck went my way. #betresponsibly and #enjoythegame

Shakespeare taught us to beware the ides of March and most people associate that day with March 15th. I am starting to think March 10th is the modern day equivalent. 3/10/20 -- the day I packed up my office in preparation for Covid lockdowns. 3/10/23 -- the day SVB goes down.

Happy Sports Equinox! Today is the 27th time in history that the "Big Four" leagues (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB) are all in action on the same day.

[Scott Frederick @scottmfrederick]

I think this was a typo from ESPN, but there seems to be some truth to it.

[Scott Frederick @scottmfrederick]

LOL. You need help my friend.

[Scott Frederick @scottmfrederick]

@SethDavisHoops Agreed. And on review, ball was clearly outside the cylinder. Love fans commenting without seeing all the angles.

[Scott Frederick @scottmfrederick]

@BPredict This angle good enough for you?

2 great stats from the world of sports today:
Cultural Dominance: NFL had 41 of the 50 most-watched US broadcasts in ’21.
Age is Just a #: Kelly Slater who holds the record for the youngest (20) and oldest (39) world champion surfer just won again at age 49. Credit @kendallbaker

[Scott Frederick @scottmfrederick]

Well this game should be interesting . . .

This is why the NBA has a problem, but also why gaming can offer a solution. Without a predictive sport element (free to play or real money), this type of effort is unwatchable.
