👽 Supernatural Feats

What a big week (and no, we aren’t talking about the Presidential Election)! The CFP Rankings 🏈 came out for the first time this season, and even though they are bound to change quite a bit between now and the end of the season, you can already feel the excitement of the expanded playoff filling the air(waves) 📺 With each week filled with significant games, we have much to look forward to in the remaining few weeks of the CFB regular season!

Meanwhile, the NFL season has reached its halfway mark, and with the passing of the trade deadline, some teams are clearly making moves for the Super Bowl this season (we are looking at you, Detroit 👀), while others are beginning to prepare for the future. And if all of this football excitement wasn't enough, we now have college basketball 🏀 to enjoy alongside the NBA, NFL, and CFB too! This really is the most wonderful time of the year 😁😁

As a final tidbit, if you are curious about what it looks like to see an alien interact with humans, take a peek at what Saquon Barkley did against the Jaguars last Sunday!! We’ve probably watched that clip over 100 times this week, and it is just as enjoyable now as it was last week 😲 (We aren't surprised that the NFL drug-tested Saquon this week after that play; I mean, you have to check to make sure he is human, right?)

PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING PLATFORMS
💪 Improve Your Betting Game 💪

At BettrNation, our goal is to help YOU bet better! One way we do that is vetting the “expert” platforms in the marketplace so you can have confidence in the resources you use to guide your betting decisions. We often point people to “macro-plays”, which are advantageous betting opportunities based on inefficiencies in the sports betting marketplace (e.g., arbitrage bets, market-based +EV plays, etc.). This week, we want to highlight OddsShopper, one of the leading providers of “macro-play” insights. Click on the below image to check out their platform:

TRIVIA
 🏦 Going to the Bank on Election Day 🏦 

For our Trivia this week, we focus on Washington D.C. - and no, not the Commanders. As many of you know, Election Day was this past Tuesday, and regardless of who you were pulling for in the election, one thing is certain: some people made bank based on the results. Leading up to Election Day, many platforms were allowing you to place a bet on who you think would win the election. Polymarket - one of the biggest prediction market platforms - took in nearly $3.2 BILLION in election-related bets. The Polymarket bettor set for the biggest payout is a Paris-based investor known as the "Polymarket whale" who made a multi-million dollar bet on Trump. Do you know how much the “Polymarket whale” stood to gain from a Trump victory?

EDUCATION
💵 Betting Fundamentals: +EV 💵

Sustainable/profitable sports betting can be boiled down into a few fundamental concepts, the most important of which is the concept of EXPECTED VALUE. At BettrNation, you will often hear us talk about positive EV (+EV) plays, including the ESPN +EV plays we flag above. For a refresher on this fundamental concept, see below for a short video explaining this key concept:

TRIVIA ANSWER

The "Polymarket whale" made $40 million worth of Trump-related bets and will walk away with $80 million, according to his accounts on the site. Not a bad day at the office (at least for his bank account!).
