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

UNDER 213½ -115 |
Won $100 |

This is a 2* play on Under. Three of the four games in this series have gone under the total, way under. The only exception was the last game in Oklahoma City. Luka scored 29 points in that game, but has averaged less than 20 in the other three. He's clearly still battling the knee injury, and PJ Washington has become the Mavs go to guy on offense. I don't necessarily expect the shooting woes of Game 4 to carry over in to Game 5, but I don't expect either team to let up on defense either. GL, Jesse Schule |

NBA | May 15, 2024 Mavs vs Thunder |
Thunder -170 at SC Consensus |
Lost $170.0 |

This is a free play on OKC. Oklahoma City shot just 38 percent from the field and 26 percent from beyond the arc in Game 4, and won on the road by a score of 100-96. SGA scored 34 while Luka was held under 20 points for the second time in the series, and you have to be concerned about playing on that injured knee and ankle. I don't see it getting any better for Luka and the Mavs, but I would count on a better shooting performance from Oklahoma City in Game 5. GL, Jesse Schule |

NHL | May 15, 2024 Avalanche vs Stars |
UNDER 6½ -120 |
Lost $120.0 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||

This is a 4* play on Under. The first two games of this series went over the total, and the last two games have gone under the number. With the Avs facing elimination on the road in Game 5, we expect scoring chances to be few and far between. The Stars have gone under in nine of their last 12 home games, and the under is 15-5 in their last 20 overall. Jake Oettinger has allowed just two goals on 54 shots in his last two starts.

OVER 3 -115 |

This is a 2* play on Over. The status of Lionel Messi is in doubt heading into this match in Orlando. It's Luis Suarez though that leads the MLS in scoring with 11 goals. Miami leads the MLS with 35 goals scored in 13 matches. Both these teams have conceded 20 goals, and they have a history of playing high scoring games. Four of the last five meetings have gone over the total. GL, Jesse Schule |

MLB | May 15, 2024 Mets vs Phillies |
Phillies -170 at linepros |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
This is a 4* play on PHI. The Phillies have won 14 of their last 17 overall, and they sit in first place in the NL East two games up on Atlanta. Ranger Suarez will toe the slab for Philly in Game 1, and he's eyeing a Cy Young. Suarez is 7-0 with a 1.50 ERA and a Major League best 0.72 WHIP. The Mets hand the ball to Joey Lucchesi, who makes his season debut. He posted solid numbers in seven starts in Triple-A. The Mets are 3-7 in their last 10 overall. 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 |
