2024-25 NFL Season: Super Bowl 59 prop bet mega-post!

Posted on February 9, 2025February 9, 2025 by gamedaycole

Here is an assortment of all the prop bets I collected heading into Super Bowl 59. Some of the lines have moved and some of these picks seem duplicated, but that’s because certain people gave out the same pick at different odds. Always be sure to consult your local bookie before making wagers to ensure you have the correct odds. Also, be sure to gamble responsibly because some of this stuff is completely insane. Enjoy.

2024-25 SEASON: CFB gambling year-end results and awards!

Posted on January 23, 2025January 23, 2025 by gamedaycole

The 2024-25 college football season has come to a close with Ohio State defeating Notre Dame for the championship on Monday night. That means we are now ready to award our own championship for picking college football games as well as hand out some awards.

I am very proud to announce the 2024-25 college football gambling champion is none other than Chris “The Bear” Fallica from Fox Sports. This season he went 84-60-3 against the spread for a profit of 16.28 units on sides/totals, and also profited 15.1 units over 85 picks on the money line this year. His grand total was 31.38 units of profit on his sides, totals and money line picks this year. Congratulations to the Bear on a fantastic year!

Rufus Peabody actually had the largest profit on sides and totals at 20.73 units with his picks on the Bet the Process podcast. He gets the official gold star for going 75% against the number. Joel Klatt was close behind at 63.33% for a profit of 18.82 units, and he will get the official red ribbon. I’m also awarding Collin Wilson and Wes Reynolds with a certificate of recognition for the most profit of all the “volume shooters”.

In the College Gameday Super Dog picks this year, Desmond Howard went 7-5 for the best record against the spread (I don’t keep track of all the point systems they use).

Congratulations to all of our competitors on an exciting season. Check out all the results below to see how your favorite (or most hated) personality did this year!
