This is not a picks column intended as an invitation to pursue any of these pieces. Probably even you shouldn't Follow these. And this is definitely not financial advice.

If the games listed here were good at the time these bets were placed, the number and/or price should have changed by now and the bet is probably no longer good at that new number or price.

If you Are If as you read you still find the same bet at the same price, that is a sign that it may not have been a good bet at all.

Then why write this column at all?

I hope to give you insight into the processes that led to these tips so you can find profitable tips for yourself.

Positive EV bets is a strategy that involves calculating the fair odds for a particular game or prop and then finding prices that are more advantageous than those fair odds.

Each week I share some of the +EV plays I'm participating in and then add some basic insights that should be helpful for sports bettors.

First, if you want to get into sports gambling but don't have an account yet and are in a state that does BetMGMYou can register via Our link. You can take advantage of one of the best promotions in the industry today – $1,500 is paid back in bonus bets if your first bet doesn't win.

USE THE LOGIN PROMOS

It's impossible to watch football these days without being bombarded with gambling promotions like the one mentioned above.

They sound too good to be true, right?

In a sense, sure.

But as long as you take the time to understand the true terms of the deals, there's no denying their value.

Accept the above promotion, $1,500 PAID BACK sounds too good to be true.

And that's because that's not actually what they're offering you.

What they offer you are bonus bets equal to your first bet (if it is a loser) up to $1,500.

You can't just take your money back and say you gave it a try. Instead, you have additional options to try to win it back.

The role of the sports betting provider is obvious here. They want to attract players with a little extra cushion, but they have already crunched the numbers and know that a large portion of their players will lose their first bet and subsequent bonus bets. And a large proportion of those who win early will lose it again, and a few more at some point.

But not all.

The savvy players are the ones who realize that these promotions can be used in a way that guarantees the disciplined player a win.

These same potentially savvy players probably have access to a tool called Google. If they don't or have problems with it, they can always send me a private message to be pointed in the right direction.

Virtually every sportsbook offers some kind of sign-up bonus. Find out exactly what the offer is first, but it's almost always valuable, so take advantage of it.

Now to the picks.

Last week was a tough week, going 2-6 and down $156, but these weeks are to be expected when using the Positive EV strategy.

WEEK 3 GAMES

WEEK 2 GAMES (2-6, -$156)
