Professional Handicapper wins big in the NBA Finals for the 2nd time in three years
You might have heard of Jesse Schule (AKA The Iceman)? We wrote a piece on Jesse just following the 2017 NBA Finals. He’s somewhat of a legend in the professional betting world, with a reputation for punishing bookmakers for offering soft lines in the futures and prop markets.
Jesse uncovered a major blunder by the bookmakers back in the 2017 NBA Finals. Despite the fact that the Golden State Warriors won 16 more games than Cleveland during the regular season, and were heavily favored to win the series, player performance totals for the series were based on a model that roughly equaled season averages x 6. This didn’t really jive with the fact that the most probable outcome (according to the odds at those same sportsbooks), was for the Warriors to win in five games.
Jesse told his clients before the series started, that he thought there was a good chance the series would be over in 4-5 games, and that presented excellent value in shorting the player performance totals for key players, especially on the losing team. He ended up giving out six futures bets on the series, winning all six of those bets.
Now just two years later, the same handicapper has done it again. Jesse made three prop bets prior to Game 1 of the 2019 Finals. He bet Toronto +$450 to win without trailing, +$260 on Kawhi Leonard to win MVP, and Toronto +$200 to win two of the first three games. All of these bets were documented at Covers.com.
He will head into next year’s NBA Playoffs with a record of 140-91 +$26,869 (at $1000 per wager) with all his wagers in the playoffs since 2017. If you are looking for help with your NBA betting, you might want to give Jesse Schule a call.

The Clemson Tigers host LSU in Week 1, and both these teams are expected to compete for a spot in the College Football Playoffs. Clemson lost 34-3 to Georgia in Week 1 last year, while LSU was upset by USC in a 27-20 loss in Las Vegas in their 2024…

Nico Iamaleava's dispute with Tennessee over money resulted in him leaving the team to accept far less money at UCLA. When you consider the higher taxes in California, you really have to question the decision making of the Bruins new quarterback.

The Bears will be a home underdog versus Auburn in Week 1, despite the fact that the Tigers are coming off a 5-7 season. A few costly turnovers and bad bounces were likely the difference between 5-7 and a winning record and a bowl game for Auburn last year.

The last time Alabama played Florida State it was 2017, and Jalen Hurts was the quarterback for the Crimson Tide. The game was in Atlanta, and it wasn't particularly close. The Seminoles were shutout in the second half in a 24-7 loss.

The Buffaloes have to replace the reigning Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, who was a star on both sides of the ball, and the leading passer in the BIG12 last season. Making things even more complicated, Coach prime missed time due to health issues and it remains uncertain how serious…

Bailey Zappe threw for almost 6,000 yards and a record 62 touchdowns during that championship run. Western Kentucky will hope that the next great Hilltoppers quarterback is Maverick McIvor who transfered from Albien Christian.

The Jayhawks were projected to be a contender in the BIG12 last year, but they lost five of their first six games and finished with a losing record. They come into 2025 with high expectations once again, and they host Fresno State in their season opener.

The Cyclones have won four of the last five meetings in this Farmageddon matchup, but the bookmakers have Kansas State favored here in Ireland. The Wildcats are laying 3.5 points, and we've seen four of the last five Aer Lingus Classic games decided by three points or less.

Colorado came into the 2024 season with a season win total of 5. It's fair to say that Deion Sanders exceeded all expectations with this team in just his second year in Boulder. It didn't start out that well with poor offensive line play a lingering issue from the previous…

I never pay for picks, but I watch the shows on Youtube and Jesse was all over Indiana last year in the series versus the Knicks. I bet Pacers to win the series down 0-2 and cashed a huge bet. If you are going to pay for picks, you might as well pay this guy, but you really should be following him on Youtube.
That Buddy Hield prop last night was pretty spot on!
This is a 1* play on Buddy Hield Over 20.5 points and rebounds.
With Steph Curry, DeAnthony Melton and Andrew Wiggins (Q) all likely to miss the first leg of this back to back set against the Pelicans, the next man up is likely to be Buddy Hield. He’s averaging 19 points and 5 rebounds in the first three games, playing only 21 minutes per game. Expect him to log closer to 30 minutes tonight. Hield is a 40 percent career three point shooter, and with Curry on the sidelines, he’s likely to be encouraged to let them fly. A big opportunity to shine against the team that drafted him.

This dude is the man when it comes to NBA props. I follow him in the playoffs every year, and I always come ahead.
