2023 NCAA Football Primer 9.6.23
There is little question that College Football has come to fully embrace the dark side. With no penalty transfers, NIL deals and constant realignment, big time collegiate ball is already a professionals game. Next year we will see Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC, while USC and UCLA enter the Big Ten and I have to say, it will take some getting used to. While it will ultimately lead to more big game matchups and more action on the board, I hope it doesn’t completely ruin the tradition and pageantry that has always made College Football Saturdays so special. That said, even more than the team spirit and the marching bands, the thing I love most about college football is…the volume.  While the NFL offers 14-16 games a week, College Football provides over 100 games from which to select my bets each weekend. There is no way the bookmakers can be right with their numbers on that many games. Additionally, there is simply not as much information out there to grab about these college kids...
MLB 2023 Sports Betting Primer and Tips
While you all know by now that my allegiance lies with my bankroll, before I knew how to bet on sports, I had a love for one sport in particular as a kid growing up in New Jersey – baseball. My father was always a huge Yankees fan and some of my most precious memories from my youth are watching Yanks games together with him or chatting on the phone after a tough loss about how the manager needed to be fired immediately. Now while I still love the game as a purist, my called profession has shifted my focus towards how to be a winning baseball bettor. Betting baseball, and doing it successfully, is the very definition of a grind. As we all know, MLB has the longest season of any sport and winning over the course of 162 games requires a lot of patience and discipline. Since the birth of the KrackWins App 4 years ago, every MLB season has been a profitable one for our members. Of course, that doesn't mean we don't go through a lot of hot and cold streaks throughout the season, but...
NBA Primer: Sports Betting Tips for 2022/2023 Season
Without a doubt, no sports league has grown more in popularity over the last fifteen years than the NBA. Combine that spike in overall interest to the new world of legal sports gambling and you have an explosion of new NBA bettors. The NBA was one of the first sports I bet professionally when I first moved to Las Vegas over twenty years ago. At that time, you’d only find a handful of NBA bettors hanging around the books on a nightly basis. Personally, I have been betting the NBA successfully for over two decades. College and Pro Basketball are staples of building my profit each year and we will begin that climb this week with the start of the 2022-23 NBA Season. Â
