Bet Labs Pro Trend

Over at Bet Labs, we've created historically profitable betting systems for every sport. There aren't any PRO systems that match tonight's games, but one user-generated system that's been successful over the past 15 years does.

Good Defensive, Bad ATS Team

The theory makes sense anecdotally: Teams that have struggled against the spread will get inflated lines. And if that team has a decent defense and plays at a slow pace, it should be able to keep it close.

This system fits Rider tonight, but the Broncs have moved from +2 to a short favorite against Quinnipiac. This system has covered 58% of the time since 2005.

Sharp Money Indicators

Each day, we'll highlight one game from our sharp report page that has multiple indicators of sharp action.

On Tuesday night, St. Bonaventure is triggering a steam move, reverse line movement and contrarian indicators. The line has dropped from +2 to +1.5 as a result.
