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.

10 of the 14 victories came in the first 14 games of the season, and the Lakers are now just one of eight teams in the middle of the Western Conference hoping to get some momentum. Not exactly what Laker Nation had in mind.

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…

The ReliaQuest Bowl (formerly the Hall of Fame Bowl) has traditionally been played on New Years Day. The last time this game was played in the month of December was back in 1986 when Boston College beat Georgia 27-24.

Doc Rivers has never had the stomach for building an NBA team. You want him to coach? No worries. He would coach in the East (Boston and Philadelphia), coach in the West (Los Angeles Clippers) and coach somewhere in between (Milwaukee).

UNC comes in with some confidence after putting up 41 on Virginia last week. They have had an underwhelming year themselves, but they’ve showed far more signs of good play than the Seminoles.

The LSU Tigers will play USC in Las Vegas in a rare Sunday night game in Week 1. These teams face similar challenges heading into the 2024 season. Both teams will replace their starting quarterback, and not just any starting quarterback. Jayden Daniels won the Heisman last year, and Caleb…

Penn State is a betting favorite to make the College Football Playoff, priced at -140. West Virginia is a longshot at 12-1 to make the playoffs. The Mountaineers are oddly an even bigger longshot to win the BIG12, priced at 18-1.

Mike Elko comes over from Duke to take the head coach job for Texas A&M, and he will face his former quarterback Riley Leonard who transferred from Duke to Notre Dame in the off-season. Elko had previously worked as the defensive coordinator at both Texas A&M and Notre Dame.

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.
