by Raphael Esparza - 7/21/2016
The underdogs dominated the first three weeks of the 2016 CFL regular season, but it was the road teams that lined bettors' pockets last week. All four road teams won their game both straight up and against the spread in Week 4, and on the year road teams are now 12-3-1 SU with a highly-profitable record of 14-2 ATS.

by Raphael Esparza - 7/14/2016
Sports gamblers betting on a new season in the CFL have feasted on the sportsbooks if they have been riding the underdogs during the first three weeks of games. So far the underdogs have gone 8-2-1 straight-up and an incredible 10-1 against the spread with the one game closing as a "pick". With so much movement of players and coaching staff among all nine teams in the league this past offseason, it could take the oddsmakers a few more weeks to sharpen up the betting lines.

The new season in the CFL is just two weeks old, and we have already witnessed a number of stunning upsets both straight-up and against the spread.

by Trevor Whenham - 6/23/2016
We are quickly closing in on the start of the Rio Summer Olympics. The months and years leading up to them have been rocky to say the least, and we still can't be sure at all that they are going to be anything near a success. In fact, I probably wouldn't bet that they will.

by Trevor Whenham - 11/26/2015
The Grey Cup will be hoisted for the 103rd time by the Canadian Football League champion on Sunday night. It's a study in contrasts. The Edmonton Eskimos are one of the great franchises in the league - they have won the trophy 13 times, including five in a row from 1978 to 1982 when they were quarterbacked by NFL Hall of Famer Warren Moon. The Ottawa Redblacks, meanwhile, are an expansion team making the championship game in just their second year in existence.
Understanding +EV and what it means within Moneyline Sports Betting
by Western Viper - 8/10/2015
+EV. A term which is thrown around loosely by many handicappers, touts and services. However, not many understand the true definition and how to take advantage. 'EV' is simply an abbreviation for the term, 'Expected Value'. Understanding when you have positive or negative EV will ultimately determine if you are able to consistently provide yourself with profitable winning seasons or bankroll-destroying losing ones. The points and explanations I will be giving in this article are geared solely towards moneyline sports. While many of the concepts are similar, understanding Expected Value within the spread and totals market are more complex and will require another article at another time.

by Raphael Esparza - 5/4/2015
The Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight is being calleda mega flop, but the Las Vegas sportsbooks were happy with the outcome.

by Trevor Whenham - 11/11/2014
The 49th Super Bowl is coming up in a few months, but Canadians just aren’t impressed. Canada’s football championship, the Grey Cup, will be contested for the 102nd time on Nov. 30 in Vancouver. There is a long way to go before we get to that big party, though. Teams play 18 games in a CFL season just to narrow the nine-team field down to six playoff squads. Now the three teams in each division that remain will play down to one representative in the big game over the next two weeks.

by Robert Ferringo - 10/20/2014
The truly talented, moneymaking handicappers are a lot tougher to find. And when people do find handicappers like myself they think it is some kind of parlor trick or black magic. They think that we are somehow fortunetellers or soothsayers. But the reality is actually a lot more boring and simple than that.
