Q&A with Jason
I've had my runs and slumps in practically every sport, however my assessment of NFL underdogs is constantly strong, and I love assaulting the WNBA odds early in the season.
The Big Game is terrific, however absolutely nothing beats the first two days of the NCAA Tournament, especially now that college hoops chances have actually expanded into player props over the previous seven years.
Similar to wagering, you need to get info from numerous sources. I would say the late, great handicapper David Malinsky, legendary bookie Johnny Avello, and even my coworkers - like Jon Metler and Josh Inglis - have actually helped make me a smarter gambler over the previous twenty years.
Handicapping isn't a one size fits all procedure. The effect and value of info differs from bet to wager. Treat each wager different than the last.
I don't bet a lot of baseball, however Covers has some extremely valuable sources of details. Weather/wind instructions along with umpire stats are quite underrated in regards to topping MLB totals.

Jason's memories
Big wins
Justin Timberlake covering Prince's "I Would Die For You" throughout the Super Bowl LII halftime show, moneying in at +140. I'm a substantial Prince fan and it was one of the unusual Super Bowl bets I won that day.
Bad beat
Game 5 of Pacers-Nets in the 2002 NBA Playoffs. I needed Pacers +5 to liquidate a big parlay, however Reggie Miller kept forcing overtimes - buzzer-beating 3-pointer that shouldn't have actually counted and a damn dunk - and Indiana ended up losing by 11 points in double OT anyways.
