How to get the most out of your SportsLine.com subscription: A guide to crush your sports bets
With sports betting legal in over half the United States and placing wagers a breeze, the popularity of sports gambling is soaring. However, with dozens of sportsbooks offering plenty of ways to pick games daily, finding the right ones to target can be a serious challenge.
There's value to be found if you know which sports betting lines to take advantage of. SportsLine.com has been helping sports bettors target the odds that are off, while also assisting season-long and daily Fantasy players.
An industry leader, SportsLine.com provides advanced computer modeling, expert picks, news and analysis of all the biggest events in sports. But with thousands of data points to consider, knowing how to get the most out of your SportsLine.com subscription is key.
The SportsLine Projection Model
SportsLine's primary sports picks are based on a proprietary simulation model developed by Stephen Oh, a sports data science expert. The SportsLine Projection Model is an advanced computer model that takes into account a variety of statistical parameters as well as up-to-the-minute injury updates and other key conditions.Â
Currently, it offers picks on the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and on college football and college basketball. It simulates every game in the four major professional sports and all Division I men's games in college 10,000 times to produce a wide variety of results. The model then uses the averages of those results to produce its picks.
You can find a detailed explanation here in SportsLine's frequently asked questions page but to simplify things, the model offers projected win percentages and a grade for each pick. For each of the model's primary picks (point spread, money line, over/under), SportsLine provides picks - graded as follows:
A PICK: Strongest pick.
B PICK: Moderate pick. The model still likes one side, but various factors reduce its confidence.
C PICK: Slight lean.
To put it plainly, the model helps you focus in on the games and betting lines that provide the best opportunity for you to earn a solid return. And its history of nailing its top-rated picks across all sports makes it an extremely valuable tool for SportsLine.com subscribers.
SportsLine expert picks
SportsLine.com also has dozens of experts making regular picks across the sporting world, including former players, sportswriters, handicappers and data analysts. Their picks can be found in a variety of places, including the home page, game forecast pages and the expert page itself.
Each expert has a record logged of their picks and their recent streaks are shown on their picks and on their expert profiles. We have a variety of experts for each of the four major professional sports, college sports, golf, tennis, soccer, combat sports, horse racing and auto racing.
For non-team sports and soccer, our picks can be found in the analysis section and filtered by whichever sport you're seeking information on or by whichever expert you're wishing to follow.
