A failed high school pitcher, Nick discovered that he has a higher aptitude for analyzing and writing about sports than he does playing them. To his friends, he is better known as "The Commish." When he's not organizing a fantasy league, placing a bet, or writing an article, he's probably nose-deep in a book--further illustrating the point that his niche in this world is as a nerd rather than an athlete.
The ScoresAndOdds Prop Model, introduced in early 2022, uses a time-tested stat projection model to simulate the outcome of each game over and over again. Statistics are logged during each simulated trial, and the results are then compared to the odds presented by the sportsbook to determine the best bets.
