Blackhawks vs Red Wings NHL Free Pick The Angle(s): The Chicago Blackhawks are a different team with Connor Bedard back in the lineup. They started 1-5 while he recovered from offseason shoulder surgery, but they've gone .500 since his return, and he has points in most of his games. Their last loss was a one-goal decision against Florida, and I expect another tight game here. The Detroit Red Wings aren't built to run teams out of the building. They average just 2.6 goals per game, and three of their games have already gone past regulation, including Tuesday's 3-3 battle with Edmonton. A Red Wings team that struggles to pull away against a Blackhawks group that has been in more competitive games lately makes the extra goal and a half valuable. The Bet: Blackhawks +1.5 (3%). |

izards vs Cavaliers NBA Free Pick **7-1 FREE PICK RUN** The Angle(s): This is a tough scheduling spot for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are on the second night of a back-to-back after needing overtime to beat Minnesota on Tuesday. Cleveland has also shown a habit of letting games slip, blowing a 24-point halftime lead in Philadelphia last week, and they covered just seven of 27 games (24%) as a favorite of nine points or more last season. The Washington Wizards are a completely different team than the one that finished at the bottom of the league last season. Trae Young and Anthony Davis have given them a legitimate one-two punch, with wins over Milwaukee and Chicago behind 128 and 124 points. With fresher legs and the offense to keep pace, I like Washington to stay within the number. The Bet: Wizards ATS (3%). Bad start to the week (1-5), but a 4% Thunder/Mavs NBA TOP PLAY of the Day tests a 40-23 (63%) with top-rated NBA sides! Three picks in total (2 NBA, 1 MLB).

4% Thunder/Mavs NBA TOP PLAY of the Day The Angle(s): This is a tough scheduling spot for the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are playing their third game in four nights after a Sunday-Monday back-to-back and are still without Jalen Williams. The Dallas Mavericks, meanwhile, return home after a road win, and they've covered the number in their last three home games against Oklahoma City. Kyrie Irving has given Dallas a steady hand in his return, scoring a game-high 24 points in the win at Indiana, and the Mavericks are getting production from everywhere. Cooper Flagg left the Indiana game with a left shoulder injury after a hard foul, but with a tired Thunder team coming to town, I'll take the points on the home underdog. The Bet: Mavs ATS (4%). |

Heat/Hawks NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER The Angle(s): The Atlanta Hawks dropped a pair of games to Houston, but there's no shame in losing back-to-back to a Rockets team that's off to a hot start with Kevin Durant. Back at State Farm Arena, I expect a strong bounce-back against a much softer opponent. Atlanta's defense ranks second in the league in forcing turnovers, and the Hawks have covered five straight as a favorite against Southeast Division foes. The Miami Heat remain winless and haven't covered a single game this season. The pieces around Giannis Antetokounmpo still look disjointed, the Heat rank near the bottom of the league in rebounding, and they've lost six of their last seven road games. I'll lay the short number with the home team. The Bet: Hawks ATS (3%). |

MAGIC MIKE'S World Series Game 5 MONEYMAKER The Angle(s): The Tampa Bay Rays kept their season alive with a 12-inning walk-off, but it came at a steep cost. They've used all five of their regular-season starters over the last four nights and needed 205 pitches to win Game 4, so they don't have a fully rested arm to start Game 5. Whoever takes the ball will be on short rest or the first of many relievers. The Milwaukee Brewers counter with a well-rested Jacob Misiorowski (16-5, 1.80 ERA), the presumptive NL Cy Young winner, who held Tampa Bay to one run over five innings in Game 1. With an offseason of rest ahead, his leash should be longer, and Milwaukee's lineup should feast on a patchwork Rays staff. The Bet: Brewers -1.5 (3%). |

Mike "Moneymaker" Lundin's experience as a professional poker player has proven to be an immeasurable asset in sports handicapping. He's a numbers guy, with a keen eye for spotting trends and stats that just don't jive with the odds offered by the bookmakers. All Mike's plays come with write ups backing up his selection, giving you a glimpse into his process of breaking down games. ----Bankroll Management---- Mike rates his plays between 100-500* with the 500* bets being the MAX B€T$. Bet each * with 1% of your bankroll. 200* (2%) = Free picks and low-confidence / high-variance plays 300* (3%) = Regular plays 400* (4%) = TOP PLAY$ = Play of the Day and other top play releases 500* (5%) = MAX BET$ = Game of the Week, Month, and Game of the Year releases Just as in cash game poker, the goal is not to win that giant pot once in a while, but to build your bankroll slowly and steadily by identifying +EV situations to exploit. ----Handicapping Methodology---- As a former online poker pro, Mike knows the value of creating systems and winning formulas through statistical analysis and math to use as a baseline, but much like poker, sports are played by human beings with emotions and feelings. Identifying letdown spots, bounce-back spots and situational betting in general plays a big part in Mike's success in picking winners, but he's also not a stranger to locking in a bet based on stats and trends alone. |
