The Purdue Boilermakers have been a bettor’s best friend lately and they’ll be looking to increase profits when they visit the Ohio State Buckeyes on Tuesday night.
The Boilermakers are on a six-game winning streak, all in the Big Ten, and have gone 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in that span. That recent streak isn’t surprising for smart wagerers who know that Purdue is an incredible 27-9-1 ATS in their last 37 conference games.
New Jersey Devils’ backers are rolling in cash as the team continues to cruise to the top of the Eastern Conference.
The Devils are the hottest team in the league with nine wins in their last 10 games as they prepare to host the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night. During the streak, bettors have reeled-in big profits with their team winning four of those games as an underdog.
With the Super Bowl now in the rear view mirror our focus shifts to the NBA where teams are now engaged in the 2nd half the season.
That being the case, let’s check your handicapping prowess as we take a look at a handful of handicapping theories that apply to teams playing from Game 42 out during the regular season in the NBA. All results are since 1990 prior to the current 2008-09 season…

Admit it. Pittsburgh and the under were the rights sides of the Super Bowl.
That’s not a lot of solace for anyone who played the Steelers -7 and / or under 46.5.
In fact, those tickets are as worthless as the majority of the Super Bowl commercials. (Lame.)

The Pittsburgh Steelers showed why they were the grittiest, toughest, best team in the NFL this past season by winning their second Super Bowl in four years and becoming the first team in NFL history to win six Super Bowls.
How did the Steelers do it? By having faith in their second best wide receiver, Santonio Holmes, and by simply hustling and outplaying Arizona’s defense in what almost assuredly will go down as one of the best Super Bowl winning drives in the sports’ history.
The NFL betting season concluded on Sunday with a championship game for the ages, as Pittsburgh and Arizona fought to the final play in Super Bowl XLIII.
For anyone that missed it, what were you thinking! Super Bowl XLIII was a classic that will be added to the list of the greatest NFL championships of all-time.
After missing last week’s regular NBA weekly review due to illness, (who’s not sick right now, eh?), you’re NBA-lovin’ and NBA-livin’, handicapping homeboy, E’ Dubya’ is back this week to set the record straight on who’s hot, who’s not – and more importantly, who’s going to cash in more often than not for my beloved BetUS NBA sports betting buddies.
The defending national champion Kansas Jayhawks (17-4 SU, 10-5 ATS, 8-7 O/U) have won six consecutive games since falling to Michigan State back on Jan. 10, covering the spread in every contest except one. The Baylor Bears (15-6 SU, 6-7 ATS, 8-5 O/U) got their 2008-09 campaign off to a fantastic start but are mired in the midst of a poor three-game losing streak.
The Connecticut Huskies, 20 and 1 straight-up, travel to Louisville to take on the Cardinals. The Huskies are easily one of the top teams in the Big East but against the BetUS online betting spread, they haven’t made any fans rich. Their record against the spread is a tepid 8 and 7. They are 4 and 1 against the spread on the road, though, which means sports wagering fans have to consider them in this game.
Purdue vs Ohio State odds: Boilermakers are jinxed by OSU
Marquette vs DePaul odds: Golden Eagles are red hot
Sportsbooks and fans who bet sports online are shifting their attention from football to basketball, as we’re approaching the stretch run toward March Madness.
