The odds-makers of the Olympic Games will attest that it is easier to predict a medal count for Belgium than to forecast medals for China or the United States. There are too many variables involved in forecasting 100s of performances for bookmakers to do anything but offer history-based predictions. Small … Read More... about NFL Championship Sunday: AFC and NFC Title Game Previews, FanDuel Prop Bets, and Recommended Picks

The 2023 IIHF World Juniors: Team USA Odds, Popular Gold Medal Picks, and Best Bets on the Quarterfinals
One of the reasons why the IIHF World Championship doesn't get as much state-side respect as a legit tournament is because very high-priced club players are quietly discouraged from taking part, making roster-building of the IIHF Worlds into less of a waiting game to see which club skaters are available and more of an "FBS bowl season" free-for-all in which star performers can … [Read more...] about The 2023 IIHF World Juniors: Team USA Odds, Popular Gold Medal Picks, and Best Bets on the Quarterfinals
IIHF Women’s World Championship: 2022 Preview, Storylines, Gold-Medal Odds, and Forecast
I spend volunteer hours covering High School sports in the autumn, and it's strange that it's one of my least sports-savvy friends who came up with the perfect reason why. I was telling her about the painted autumn leaves on grass gridirons, the sloppy marching bands that somehow sound just fine from a distant parking lot, and the we-did-it-our-way branding of prep teams like … [Read more...] about IIHF Women’s World Championship: 2022 Preview, Storylines, Gold-Medal Odds, and Forecast
Stanley Cup 2022: Colorado Avalanche vs Tampa Bay Lightning Series Price Odds, Game 1 Picks, and Best FanDuel Prop Bets
Sin City's old hands like to say that line-forecasting lets gamblers overcome the bookmaker's psychological edge when new odds are released. It's true that the odds themselves lead to a lot of lopsided analysis as people try to figure out why a favorite is favored, instead of asking if they should be. If you're looking at international sports odds and Sweden is a 2-to-1 … [Read more...] about Stanley Cup 2022: Colorado Avalanche vs Tampa Bay Lightning Series Price Odds, Game 1 Picks, and Best FanDuel Prop Bets
Stanley Cup Playoffs and IIHF Worlds Odds: The Best Bets on a Thrilling Thursday of Pond Hockey
We try to keep our international and professional-sports odds separate here at WagerBop, but the upcoming Thursday of morning, noon, and night-time pond shinny presents a chance for NHL bettors to live-out an incredible day of cheering and winning with more than a single tournament. Of course, it also provides the "opportunity" for puck-following gamblers to be wrung out, … [Read more...] about Stanley Cup Playoffs and IIHF Worlds Odds: The Best Bets on a Thrilling Thursday of Pond Hockey
NHL Playoff Odds and Series Prices: Florida vs Tampa Bay Game 1 Line and Best Wednesday Picks
We wind up comparing a lot of sports-variants (and minor-league outcomes of the same genre) to major sports without thinking of whether the mold fits together on the betting board. Often, 2 leagues that look and sound much alike, for instance MLB and Nippon Professional Baseball, present very disparate betting circumstances and trends. Meanwhile, sports that seem unrelated, … [Read more...] about NHL Playoff Odds and Series Prices: Florida vs Tampa Bay Game 1 Line and Best Wednesday Picks
2022 IIHF World Championship: 16 Team Preview, Gold Medal Odds, Roster Updates, and Picks
Sports are like politics in that if a subject is careful to keep her opinion from getting pigeonholed, there's always someone to come along and do it anyway. Take the last dozen years of American football as example. If you think Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick were misused, misunderstood, and brave fore-runners of Lamar Jackson's powerful modern-day NFL option game, then you … [Read more...] about 2022 IIHF World Championship: 16 Team Preview, Gold Medal Odds, Roster Updates, and Picks
Stanley Cup 2022: Updated NHL Game Odds and Best Thursday Night Picks
Fans of WagerBop's "nerdier" ice hockey coverage will lament that this year's World Championships are once again laden with no-name skaters and "B" teams. But there's always a betting opportunity on the pond when speculators are waving-off entire events as pointless to investigate. Switzerland, for example, makes a terrific gold-medal underdog in 2022, sitting a just a 22-to-1 … [Read more...] about Stanley Cup 2022: Updated NHL Game Odds and Best Thursday Night Picks
Stanley Cup Playoff Game Odds: Carolina vs Boston Puck Line and Best Tuesday Picks
The NHL playoffs don't last as long as the MLB season, making it hard to produce a "Daily Double" style running chronology of picks and wagers on Stanley Cup action. However, readers can check WagerBop for semi-daily NHL playoff picks throughout the spring tournament, in addition to our usual IIHF Men's Worlds predictions later this week. Games played on the nights of … [Read more...] about Stanley Cup Playoff Game Odds: Carolina vs Boston Puck Line and Best Tuesday Picks
