by Chris Vasile - 1/15/2018
In case you haven't heard, there is a new cryptocurrency that has taken the world by storm and has created a buzz similar to the invention of the internet itself. This seemingly overnight rise to riches and foray into the mainstream media has left a cryptocurrency called Bitcoin (BTC) on the tips of everyone's tongue.
Advantages of Using Bitcoin for Sports Betting
by Chris Vasile - 1/15/2018
In today's fast paced and ever-changing world, the sudden rise of Bitcoin (BTC) over the course of the last 12 months has caught everyone off guard (to me, everyone means around 99 percent of the general public). But what people fail to realize is that Bitcoin (BTC) has been relevant since it's inception in 2010 when it was on the market for just $0.003 per share. Bitcoin's rags-to-riches story didn't exactly happen overnight. It had six years prior to the boom of 2017, where it's market value would rise and fall just like any other stock that was offered up for purchasing.
Sports Betting Sites That Accept Bitcoin
by Chris Vasile - 1/15/2018
In an industry as big as the sports betting market, attracting new clientele is one of the most important aspects of how sportsbooks run their day-to-day business. Each sportsbook is generally run under the same set of guidelines. However, because they are each their own entity, they have the right to tweak any rules or stipulations in accordance to their fine print. For example, some books offer up "reduced juice" lines while some sports book offer up extended or over-the-top bonuses to attract new clients with "free money". The decision of where you invest your money is entirely up to you, and it is entirely based what you want to get out of your sportsbook.
Free CFL Picks for Playoffs from Expert Canadian Football Handicapper
by Raphael Esparza - 11/10/2017
The 18-game CFL regular season has given way to the postseason and the quest for the 2017 Grey Cup Championship. Toronto in the East and Calgary in the West earned a first-round bye by winning each division title. This Sunday in a pair of division semifinal matchups, the other four playoff teams will look to take that next step towards winning this year's title.
Free CFL Picks Week 12 from Expert Canadian Football Handicapper
by Raphael Esparza - 9/6/2017
One of the betting angles that is unique to the CFL is a home-and-home series where two teams play one another in consecutive weeks. Since there are only nine teams in this league playing an 18-game regular season, there is a much higher level of familiarity with one another, especially when playing two games in back-to-back weeks.
Free CFL Picks Week 11 from Expert Canadian Football Handicapper
by Raphael Esparza - 8/30/2017
I didn't see Edmonton's meltdown against Saskatchewan coming with last week's free pick in what was probably the most shocking upset in the CFL this season. I think this upset was actually more of a case of the Roughriders being underrated as opposed to Edmonton being overrated. In light of this, I decided to go with Saskatchewan's key home game this week against Winnipeg for my free CFL pick of the week for Doc's.
Free CFL Picks Week 10 from Expert Canadian Football Handicapper
by Raphael Esparza - 8/23/2017
Sometimes you just know when to go against a team no matter how good it is playing at that particular time. That is why I went against Edmonton last week as the only undefeated team in the CFL to cash in on my free weekly pick for Doc's after the Eskimos fell to Winnipeg 33-26 as slight one-point road favorites. I also know that Edmonton is still one of the best teams in the league, so that is why I am jumping back on its bandwagon in Week 10.
Free CFL Picks Week 9 from Expert Canadian Football Handicapper
by Raphael Esparza - 8/16/2017
There are four head-to-head division battles on tap in Week 9 of the CFL season that could have a big impact on both title races. The West remains leaps and bounds ahead of the East with a combined straight up record of 25-10 while a record of 3-4 SU is good enough for the lead in the other division. Edmonton has led the way with a perfect start, but getting that eighth straight win could be tougher than expected.
Free CFL Picks Week 8 from Expert Canadian Football Handicapper
by Raphael Esparza - 8/9/2017
The current disparity in talent between the CFL's West Division and the East has been a goldmine for sports bettors this season. While Calgary easily covered against Toronto in last week's inter-division 41-24 romp, I cashed in my winning pick on the "over" 54.5 points in that game.
Free CFL Picks Week 7 from Expert Canadian Football Handicapper
by Raphael Esparza - 8/2/2017
A few CFL teams came into this season with a renewed commitment to focus on offense and scoring points behind their top playmakers. A perfect example was last week's thrilling last-second 41-40 victory by Winnipeg against Montreal to easily take my pick of the week "over" the closing 50.5-point line.

by Raphael Esparza - 7/26/2017
I went with Saskatchewan and the 10 points on the road against Calgary last week in my free weekly CFL pick for Doc's Sports, and once again the Stampeders went on to prove that they are still the team to beat in this league with a 27-10 victory that more than covered the spread.

A quick welcome to all the valued Doc's Sports clients as I am honored to now be a part of the stable of talented and professional handicappers that reside here. I am sure some of you have heard of me, and some of you may have not. Just a quick introduction and a few notes that may interest you.
Free CFL Picks Week 5 from Expert Canadian Football Handicapper
by Raphael Esparza - 7/19/2017
When it comes to handicapping the CFL, it becomes a bit too easy to get caught up in the early results in a league that has quite a bit of parity across the ranks. That was the case with last week's pick when favored Calgary actually lost to Montreal straight up. The Stampeders are still one of the top teams in the league, but Montreal proved that its new-look offense is a far cry from the one that averaged 21.3 points per game last season.
Free CFL Picks Week 4 from Expert Canadian Football Handicapper
by Raphael Esparza - 7/13/2017
The new CFL regular season is three weeks old, and the underdogs continue to pay out at a high rate with a 10-2 record against the spread. I went with the "over" 56 as my top pick last week in Calgary's 29-10 victory against Winnipeg, but the Blue Bombers' offense was never able to get in gear. Week 4 is filled with inter-division battles and I have found one that should pay off as my free pick.
Free CFL Picks Week 3 from Expert Canadian Football Handicapper
by Raphael Esparza - 7/4/2017
The first eight games of the new CFL regular season are in the books, and the underdogs are boasting a perfect 8-0 record against the spread. I was able to cash in on Ottawa as a road underdog in last week's free CFL pick for Doc's, but this time around a solid play on the total line has caught my eye for my top free CFL play in Week 3.

by Trevor Whenham - 6/23/2017
Aug. 26 may not be much of a fight day, but as far as spectacles go it may never be topped. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is more in love with himself than any man has ever been, and he lives to promote himself. Conor McGregor can outtalk anyone and is fearless and cocky. Bring them together, throw in a few hundred million dollars, and set it in Las Vegas for good measure, and you are going to have a fight week like we have rarely seen. We can talk about how the actual fight might turn out closer to the event. BetOnline has set some interesting prop bets leading up to the fight, though, and this is a good time to take a look at them.

A new season of football 'North of the Border' gets underway with Week 1 of the 2017 CFL regular season. This league offers avid sports bettors a great opportunity to get an early jump on another winning year instead of waiting for the NFL to start up this fall. Along with my weekly selection packages for the CFL, I will once again be releasing a 'free pick" every week for Doc's Sports as an added bonus to my coverage of this league.

World Cup Betting Advice: Handicapping Host Country Russia
by Trevor Whenham - 6/13/2017
Every time the World Cup rolls around we face a bit of a challenge in handicapping the host country. Unlike every other team in the field, they don't have to qualify. So, while every other national team has been playing life-and-death games, which make it easy for us to see where they are, the hosts are forced to rely on friendlies to round into form. The difference between a meaningful qualification game and a friendly is like the difference between a porterhouse and a chuck roast. Sometimes the task is easier than others - we knew what we were going to get with Brazil last time around because they are Brazil.
