Q&A with Jason

I've had my runs and downturns in almost every sport, however my evaluation of NFL underdogs is always strong, and I enjoy assaulting the WNBA odds early in the season.

The Big Game is great, however nothing beats the first two days of the NCAA Tournament, specifically now that college hoops chances have expanded into player props over the previous 7 years.

Similar to betting, you need to get information from multiple sources. I would say the late, fantastic handicapper David Malinsky, legendary bookmaker Johnny Avello, and even my coworkers - like Jon Metler and Josh Inglis - have helped make me a smarter wagerer over the past 20 years.

Handicapping isn't a one size fits all procedure. The impact and significance of info differs from bet to bet. Treat each wager different than the last.

I don't wager a lot of baseball, however Covers has some incredibly valuable sources of info. Weather/wind direction as well as umpire statistics are quite underrated in terms of capping MLB totals.

Jason's memories

Big wins

Justin Timberlake covering Prince's "I Would Crave You" during the Super Bowl LII halftime program, cashing in at +140. I'm a huge Prince fan and it was among the unusual Super Bowl bets I won that day.

Bad beat

Game 5 of Pacers-Nets in the 2002 NBA Playoffs. I needed Pacers +5 to close out a big parlay, however Reggie Miller kept requiring overtimes - buzzer-beating 3-pointer that should not have actually counted and a damn dunk - and Indiana wound up losing by 11 points in double OT anyways.
