In the world of sports betting, finding profitable picks is a constant pursuit for enthusiasts seeking to maximize their chances of success. Today, we look at two intriguing player picks using the OddsJam Fantasy Screen and the NBA Screen: Bubba Thompson over 0.5 bases and Jayson Tatum under 35.5 points plus assists (P+A). Let’s explore the analysis behind these picks and understand why they stand out among the rest.

Play #1: Bubba Thompson over 0.5 Bases

First, we look at Bubba Thompson of the Texas Rangers. The OddsJam Fantasy Screen is where I find a large amount of my DFS bets. Within the screen, we notice various picks highlighted in green, indicating they are incredibly profitable opportunities. Among them, we find Thompson’s over 0.5 bases line.

To further strengthen this pick, we look at the data provided by other sportsbooks. As seen in the provided screenshot, all sportsbooks heavily favor Thompson’s over 0.5 bases outcome, with odds hovering around -140. This consensus among reputable sources is yet another data point leading me to believe this is a great bet to use as a leg of my parlay.

OddsJam’s best-in-class suite of betting tools give you the edge as a sports bettor to find the best odds and profitable betting opportunities in real time.

However, it’s essential to consider the platform on which we are placing our bets. ParlayPlay, a fixed payout platform, operates with specific dynamics that impact profitability. If a bettor has no advantage, they can expect to win 50% and lose 50% of their player prop over/unders. To be profitable on ParlayPlay, you need to win over 53.22% of your picks. This is how ParlayPlay makes money, as most people are unable to consistently win their over/unders at a 53.22% success rate.

With the OddsJam Fantasy Screen, multiple sportsbooks favoring Thompson’s over 0.5 bases, and an understanding of ParlayPlay, this is a great pick.

Play #2: Jayson Tatum under 35.5 P+A

Moving on to our second player pick, we shift our focus to Jayson Tatumof the Boston Celtics. Utilizing the OddsJam NBA Screen, we explore Tatum’s line for points plus assists (P+A).

By following the data, we notice that PrizePicks, Underdog, and all other sportsbooks have set Tatum’s line at 34.5 P+A. However, ParlayPlay presents a great opportunity with a line set at 35.5, which is notably higher than all other data points available. Everyone else has this line at 34.5, meaning ParlayPlay likely has an inflated line.

To make an informed decision I always check the odds of all the other sportsbooks to see what their data point to. With all other data points favoring Tatum’s under 34.5 P+A line, it becomes evident that the value lies in choosing the under. By leveraging this information and betting against ParlayPlay’s inflated line, we increase our chances of success.

We have examined two player picks with strong indicators of profitability. Bubba Thompson’s over 0.5 bases stands out because of the consensus among multiple sportsbooks, while Jayson Tatum’s under 35.5 P+A is a solid play based on the consensus among other books and the discrepancy found on ParlayPlay. By utilizing the insights provided by the OddsJam Fantasy Screen and NBA Screen, we use data to run our sports betting (and win).
