| Fighting | May 15, 2021 Tony Ferguson vs. Beneil Dariush |
Total 2½ -162 at |

|
This is a free play on Over 2.5. Tony Ferguson is now 37 years old, and coming off consecutive losses you might not think he has much left to give as a mixed martial artist. He will be an underdog here against Beneil Dariush, but don't expect this to be an easy fight by any means. Ferguson went the distance in his last fight, losing the decision to Oliveira, and his KO loss to Justin Gaethje came in the fifth round. In 31 professional fights, that was his only loss by knockout. He's also only lost once by submission. He should be able to stand in there for at least three rounds, and an upset wouldn't be that big of a surprise either. GL, Jesse Schule |

MLB | Apr 30, 2024 Yankees vs Orioles |
OVER 9 -125 |
Lost $125.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is a 2* play on Over. The Yankees won Game 1 in Baltimore by a score of 2-0, but we expect to see more of slugfest here in Game 2. Nestor Cortes will toe the slab for the Bronx Bombers, and he's struggled on the road. He's 0-1 with a 7.07 ERA in three starts on the road. The Orioles hand the ball to Dean Kemer, who has been better on the road than at home. He's 0-1 with an 8.68 ERA in two home starts. Kremer is 2-3 with a 5.04 ERA in nine career starts versus the Yankees. The wind is blowing out, and the over is 7-3 in the last 10 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

Bruins -160 at SC Consensus |
Lost $160.0 |

This is a 4* play on BOS. I had the Bruins in Game 1, and here is what I said before the series started: "The Bruins have been historically one of the most successful teams in history in the NHL Playoffs. That includes recent history as well as long term. The Leafs on the other hand are notorious for their futility in the playoffs. Boston has owned the Leafs, sweeping the season series and winning seven straight meetings dating back to January of 2023. The most important factor in a playoff series is almost always goaltending, and the Leafs starter Ilya Samsonov has allowed 11 goals on 52 shots in his last two starts. He ranks 38th in the 32 team league with a GAA of 3.18. The Bruins starter Jeremy Swayman ranks in the Top 10 in GAA (2.53) and Top 5 in save percentage (.916). Boston is tougher, better defensively and built for success in the post-season." GL, Jesse Schule |

NBA | Apr 30, 2024 Pacers vs Bucks |
OVER 216 -110 |
Lost $110.0 |
| Play Type: Top Premium | ||
|
This is a 5* play on OVER. I had the over in Game 2, and here is what I said before the game: “Game 1 went way under the total of 231.5, and the opening number for Game 2 was 225.5. That has been bet down even further to 220.5. I think this is an over-correction. While we know scoring is down in the playoffs, and unders have cashed at a phenomenal rate so far, let's not forget who the Pacers are. They led the league in scoring, averaging 123.3 points per game, almost three points per game more than #2 Boston. The ranked second in the league in possessions per game behind the Washington Wizards. Prior to Game 1, the Pacers last game at Milwaukee had a total of 262. Four of five regular season meetings saw totals of 250 or higher. The Pacers had scored 119 or more points in nine straight versus Milwaukee before Game 1.” I think Game 1 was an anomaly, and we should see high scores in this series moving forward. The Pacers ranked 27th in the NBA in the regular season allowing over 120 points per game. Milwaukee ranked 21st in the NBA allowing over 216 points per game. GL, Jesse Schule |

MLB | May 01, 2024 Phillies vs Angels |
Phillies -175 at SC Consensus |
|
| Play Type: Premium | ||

This is a 2* play on PHI. The Angels are just 4-10 at home while the Phillies are 10-5 on the road. With a favorable pitching matchup in Game 3, I like the visitors in the rubber match. Zach Wheeler will toe the slab for Philly, and he's 2-3 with a 1.98 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP. The Angels hand the ball to Pablo Sandoval, who is 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA in two home starts. The Phillies bullpen has struggled, but the Angels rank dead last in the majors with a team ERA of 5.61 (by reliever). GL, Jesse Schule |

WHO IS THE ICEMAN? He’s no soothsayer and he doesn’t have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it’s actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly’s Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years. Career Highlights: - Perfect 10-0 start to NFL Season (2022) - Perfect 5-0 Super Bowl Card (2018) - Perfect 6-0 NBA Finals Futures (2017) - Perfect 3-0 NBA Finals Futures (2019) - Perfect 3-0 NBA Finals Futures (2020) - Perfect 8-0 card X-Mas Day (2016) - Perfect 8-0 NCAA Tourney picks Sweet 16 - Final (2015) - Picked Germany +$700 to win World Cup (2014) - Picked Marcus Mariota +$700 to win Heisman (2014) Handicapping Methodology: Jesse is not a believer in systems, programs or number crunching formulas to handicap games. He is firm in his belief that you aren't playing against the sportsbook, you are playing against the average Joe (other bettors). Jesse is notorious for attacking inflated point spreads, soft lines and totals that are a little out of whack. He also relies on a nearly photographic memory with an uncanny ability to tell you a player's history and stats dating back for decades. Anyone can look up how many touchdowns a guy has scored, Jesse can also tell you about the ones that he almost scored. Money Management: His plays are rated based on a 1-10 star system, and he recommends wagering 0.5 percent of your bankroll per star rating. So a top rated 10* play would represent a bet equal to five percent of a player's bankroll. Signature Plays: AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER: This title is reserved for games with a start time between 12:00 – 4:30 ET. These are popular with action junkies who are dying for the games to get underway. The TERMINATOR: Jesse's signature totals play, the Terminator has established a reputation as one of the most consistent winners in Schule's repertoire. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: These plays represent a game where the stats show a significant trend which isn't reflected in the price. GRIM REAPER BLOWOUT: His signature play reserved for medium to large favorites. High percentage plays for those who don't mind laying chalk. HOT DIGGITY DOG: This is the Iceman's signature underdog play. About as rare as strawberries in December, you'll want to grab these whenever they are available |
