Baseball season is only a few short weeks away but that doesn’t mean props haven’t hit the shelves in sportsbooks.  Plenty of options exist for wagering on America”s past time including win totals, division odds, futures, and the more extensive offering contained here within via the LVH.  The most interesting angle with the individual player props is a big leaguer is only required to play 1 game for bets to have action.  While it sounds terrible to say my suggestion is attack this list with the eye on a guy who may be prone to DL stints or nursing a lingering injury before the season starts (see Chris Carpenter last year).

At any given moment on a compact course, a less talented rider can eliminate any of the favorites. After crashing on the final jump in the lead, the last 2 Olympics, Lindsey Jacobellis seems to have learned her lesson. She no longer showboats down the course. She sticks to her line, stays low over the jumps and maintains her speed to stay ahead of the other riders. Jacobellis is currently riding injured however the injury seems to have pushed her to ride angry and determined. Even though her natural talents have always been far greater than other riders, she now seems mentally strong enough to withstand the chaos around her on the course and will...

2014 Winter Olympics (Sochi, Russia) – Snowboarding – Men’s Halfpipe Shaun White                         2/5 Yuri Podladchikov                6/1 Danny Davis                         7/1 Peetu Piirooinen                  14/1 Taylor Gold                           16/1 Taku Hiraoka                       14/1 Nathan Johnstone              25/1 Gregory Bretz                       12/1 Markus Malin                       40/1 Brad Martin                          66/1 Kent Callister                       80/1 Scott James                         50/1 Seamus O’Connor              100/1 Analysis This is the worst field of Halfpipe riders in years. 13 riders will compete…only 3 are even remotely close to bettable. To the public, snowboarding halfpipe is a 4 year sport but in reality the best competition in the sport happens yearly in non Olympic events. Due to the qualifying system, several of the best riders from the USA and Canada are left out in Sochi allowing for the select few top riders that make it to coast to easy wins. That being said, Shaun White is the favorite. He has the biggest amplitude out of the pipe and maintains a tighter run allowing him to add an extra trick into the run. This gives him a major advantage over the other riders because he has another trick to bump up his scores from the judges. White did not compete in the X Games to focus solely on competition in Sochi. After pulling out from the Slopestyle event citing “dangerous conditions”, White has shown he is only concerned about one thing; winning the snowboard halfpipe competition. White clearly is feeling the pressure of being a renowned name that NBC can lean on for all of their promos needing a win to validate the non stop media coverage from NBC I think the pressure gets to White and he wont complete the run he is aiming for meaning his second best run wont be enough opening...

Freestyle Skiing- Women’s Slopestyle     Dara Howell                                     3/1 Keri Herman                                      7/2 Kaya Turski                                        9/2 Devin Logan                                      9/2 Katie Summerhayes                           8/1 Tiril Sjaastad Christiansen               9/1 Maggie Voisin                                    10/1 Lisa Zimmerman                              10/1 Emma Dahlstrom                             10/1 Kim Lamarre                                      10/1 Yuki Tsubota                                     33/1 Evelin Bhend                                     33/1 Analysis The best in the sport at the moment is Devin Logan. She is a dual threat in the pipe as well as the slopestyle course. Her skills from the pipe make her tricks on the jump portion on the slope bigger than the other riders. She has good rail presence and she will need it with the way the course is set up. Until an injury sidelined her, Kaya Turski was the best in the sport. She has had some good competitions including the US Grand Prix and X Games to get her health and riding style back to gold medal form. Kaya is the most technical rider on the rails doing tricks no other female can complete which will be critical since half of the judges score comes from the rail. Dara Howell is wildly overrated at 3/1. She shouldn’t be considered the favorite in my eyes at such a short price. At best she is a silver medal contender in this competition. Her rails are average and her jumps aren’t as big as others. To win the gold, Howell will need falls from Logan, Turski and even Keri Herman. Keri Herman is the best rider in the field and she enters with zero pressure or an expectation to win placed on her shoulders. I expect Keri to put a run down that will put her into the top spot, but it will force Logan and Turski to dig for their best, which will give them the top spots....

Adventure sports expert Tyler Tate is back to offer his betting wisdom for the Men’s and Women’s Freestyle skiing.  There may not be longshot value here like he found with Sage Kostenberg but he will get you to the window. 2014 Winter Olympics (Sochi, Russia) – Freestyle Skiing- Men’s Moguls   Michael Kingsbury                           4/7 Alexandre Bilodeau                         7/5 Patrick Deneen                                 9/1 Alexandr Smyshlyaev                     14/1 Bradley Wilson                                33/1 Sho Endo                                           25/1 Marc-Antoine Gagnon                     33/1 Matt Graham                                     33/1 Dale Begg-Smith                               66/1 Analysis Michael Kingsbury is currently ranked first in the world and rightfully so. Kingsbury has perfect form; knees remain parallel through the entire run and he maintains proper vertical position from hips up. His hand position never bounces and he will win the gold. It is as simple as that. If Kingsbury wilts, his teammate Alex Bilodeau knows how to beat him. Recently Bilodeau beat Kingsbury at the Freestyle World Cup at Deer Valley and if you don’t read the bib numbers you may mistake them for the same skiier. They are well coached and share similar traits plus Bilodeau is the reigning Gold Medalist in the sport. Bilodeau is the value bet at 7/5. The pressure is on Kingsbury from Team Canada to medal this year since Bilodeau was the gold medalist last year. Team USA Skier Pat Deneen has a great shot at getting the gold since the field is incredibly narrow. He is the best Freestyle skier on the men’s side that Team USA has put out since 2002. He has the form and tricks for the two jumps to make him a podium contender. Best Bet: Michael Kingsbury Value Bet: Alexandre Bilodeau Long shot: Patrick Deneen Dark Horse: Sho Endo 2014 Winter Olympics (Sochi, Russia) – Freestyle Skiing- Women’s Moguls Hannah Kearney                             ...

Money made during the wee hours of the morning is just as green as the cash we collect betting our favorite American sports.  Since every sporting event offers opportunity, I called in friend of the program adventure sport expert, Tyler Tate, to find us value in Sochi. Here are his breakdowns of the men’s and women’s slopestyle events. All prices are courtesy of Bovada SNOWBOARDING SLOPESTYLE 2014 Winter Olympics (Sochi, Russia) – Snowboarding – Men’s Slopestyle Mark McMorris                      7/2 Maxence Parrot                     5/1 Roope Tonteri                        9/1 Staale Sandbech                    10/1 Billy Morgan                          11/1 Sven Thorgen                         12/1 Sage Kotsenberg                   14/1 Chas Guldemond                   14/1 Janne Korpi                           14/1 Sebastien Toutant                 14/1 Yuuki Kadono                        16/1 Peetu Piiroinen                     20/1 Gjemund Braaten                  25/1 Seppe Smits                           25/1 Jamie Nichols                         30/1 Ryan Stassel                           40/1 Charles Reid                          40/1 Analysis Mark McMorris is the prohibitive favorite in the sport even if snowboarding icon Shaun White reverses course and re-enters the competition. McMorris is coming off an injury in the 2014 Winter X Games where he took a fall to his rib cage in the rail section. Normally good on the rails, McMorris seems to have struggled lately on that same section. With the entrances and exits on the rails in Sochi being steeper and faster, this will be a major factor in the judge’s scores. This number at 7/2 is fair but risky; he is the favorite but but current form says otherwise. He will draw the public money thanks to his sponsorship from Red Bull. Even though he competes for Team Canada, he’s often confused with being a member of Team USA given the strong sponsorship ties. With the influx of money that came to Team Canada during the Vancouver games, the Canadians are strong and well trained to go along with their natural talents....
