Welcome to Shred The Spread (STS). A sports blog covering sports from a betting angle. This isn’t about making hot takes on the latest trending topics. We’re looking to combine some of those storylines, with the latest trends, stats, odds and analytics to give you the best sports betting predictions across the world of sports.
Sports betting is hard. But it should still be fun. While I don’t believe you should view sports betting as a lottery if you’re a serious bettor, it also shouldn’t be a calculus equation either. I believe there is a place where educated commentary and statistics can meet, to create well-thought-out wagers.
You’ll find plenty of straight bets on STS, but also tons of parlays. But, if you’re looking for 20-leg lottery tickets, this may not be the place. You will find carefully created two and three-leg parlays or same-game parlays often with some simple “looking” selections. There are no locks in sports betting and you won’t find that sort of language here. But there are easier ways to bet than simply straight bets and ATS. Why not simply ask three teams to score 1 goal in soccer? Or two games to see both teams scoring and cut out the need to pick a winner? Or create a 3-game teaser in the NFL giving you all kinds of room for error?
My point is, there are lots of ways to bet. And while I enjoy some good plus-money returns as much as the next guy, we pay people to get a 5-7% ROI in yearly investments. Yearly! A -150 wager still returns a 67% ROI for over a roughly 2-3 hour time period of a game. Obviously every wager can’t be short odds, or else you’ll need to accomplish a ridiculous winning percentage to be successful. But cash enough tickets between the -150 and +150 range and you’ll be doing alright.
With that said, I hope you enjoy the content on the website and you can follow along for more sports betting picks by checking out our Youtube, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok channels.
Enjoy! And best of luck with all of your wagers!
