Today’s Best Bets: Billikens Are Real

Sticking with the high mid-majors again today. Three in a row with those?


VCU at Saint Louis

We’re not letting the big number scare us away. Saint Louis is better by this much and a little more (at home).

Pick: Saint Louis –7 (–114). 4.79 units to win 4.20.

I am only roughly 90% confident in these numbers. At some point we’ll get that Google Sheet up which tracks all our bets this year.

2025–26: –576.03 units (started with 1,000-unit bankroll)

2025–26: –6% average ROI (weighted by unit; sample size: 1,075 single-game markets plus six completed futures portfolios)

Pre-2025: 0% average ROI (worse when limited to only sports)

Units taken from best odds we can find at major sportsbooks available to most Americans.

These bets are not investment advice. If you’re worried you or someone you know might have a gambling addiction, call 1-800-GAMBLER for free, confidential help.
