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 Cavaliers landed a big name quarterback in the transfer portal as Beau Pribula comes over from Missouri to replace Chandler Morriss. While he's a dynamic runner, Pribula threw just three touchdown passes and seven interceptions in six SEC games last year.

The media reports focused more on Belichik's relationship with Jordon Hudson than any actual reporting on the football team last year. There were times when people questioned if he would even make it to year two.

This will be the third time in four seasons that these teams meet in the opening game of the season. The previous two meetings were both in Hawaii, and Stanford won 37-24 in 2023, but the Rainbow Warriors won it with a walk off field goal in overtime last season.

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.
