The Buzz in Las Vegas
Who is famed sports bettor Billy Walters on? The Eagles, so says Matt Youmans’ source. . . . Meantime, Circa moved the Super Bowl line to pick’em for about three hours on Friday afternoon after taking a big bet and then moved it back to Chiefs -1.
A few of my favorite things
Everything we’ve posted on the Super Bowl is available here.
But if I had to pick my three favorites, I would go with these articles:
>Steve Makinen projects Sunday’s box score with full team and individual stats. More important — in the spirit of what we try to do here at VSiN – Steve explains the methodology behind the numbers.
>Matt Devine generates his recommended prop bets based on their probability and value. Matt lays out his formula for success in a way that’s easy to understand and includes a spreadsheet that tracks 276 props for the last 23 Super Bowls.
My third choice is Youmans’ Super Bowl predictions. Matt has been with VSiN since Day 1 — Super Bowl Sunday 2017 – so that makes this his ninth Big Game preview. In 2017, Matt was VSiN’s only writer. Now we have many contributors and you can see all their Best Bets here.
