All GoldSheet Products - Newsletter, Picks and Stat Sheets

All of our content - From the Football GoldSheet newsletter to the daily NBA stat sheets to our LTS best bets - can now be found here. Current newsletter subscribers can log in using their existing GoldSheet account information to access their content.

The Industry Standard

Founded in 1957, GoldSheet is the country's longest-running sports betting newsletter. In May 2019, WagerTalk Media announced its intent to acquire GoldSheet in a deal to bring the iconic publication into the digital age.

Bettors and oddsmakers have used GoldSheet’s betting analysis for nearly seven decades. In 2022, the Chicago Sun Times did a piece on our history in the sports betting industry, and we were featured in Billy Walters’ critically-acclaimed book, Gambler: Secrets from a Life at Risk: “Mike was not a big sports gambler himself, but he knew a ripe market when he saw one. He dug for information at his local library and bookstores. He searched NCAA football guides, which listed scores and statistics, as well as local and national newspapers and handicapping resources like the GoldSheet.”

Classic GoldSheet Newsletter

Newsletter vs Picks

What's the difference between the GoldSheet newsletter and LTS Picks? The Football GoldSheet newsletter gets published every Tuesday during football season and The Basketball GoldSheet newsletter gets published daily by 12pm ET / 9am PT. We pride ourselves on being one of the first publications to market every week, giving you information as early as possible to assist in your handicapping process.

The biggest challenge with publishing a newsletter that early is that we don't always have important injury and weather reports at that time. Our LTS pick selections are made using a collaborative approach later in the week when some of those intangibles are a little more settled.

The GoldSheet team currently consists of seven handicappers with each one focusing on a specific area in specific sports. The team collaborates each day to share thoughts on their favorite wagers, betting notes and injury news. Using that collaboration, the team determines their top selections and those consensus picks are what gets released to clients.

The Football GoldSheet

First GoldSheet Ever
The Football GoldSheet newsletter is released every Tuesday
  • We offer write-ups, stat comparisons and GoldSheet’s power rating point spreads for every NFL and FBS-level college football matchup on the board.
  • Formerly known as GoldSheet Extra, our new Tech Angle section explores some historical trends related to each game.
  • We break down the box scores of the previous week’s games to help you find anomalies in important statistical categories.
  • The Football GoldSheet contains a running week-by-week log with each team’s record against the spread, over/unders, and home-road splits to help you analyze their performance in a variety of situations.
  • Formerly known as Confidential Kickoff, our Stat Service page offers a head-to-head look at each upcoming game with notes on turnover differential, yardage stats and much more.
First GoldSheet Ever

The Basketball GoldSheet

  • The Basketball GoldSheet newsletter will feature daily NBA and NCAAB game previews released by 12pm ET / 9am PT during the week and 10am ET / 7am PT on the weekends to accommodate for the earlier start times.
  • The Basketball Record provides a game log for every team with scores and point spread results.
  • The Basketball Spreadsheet provides situational records for each team based on their home/road splits and how they are performing as a favorite or as an underdog in certain situations.
  • Each daily issue features roughly six Key Releases across the NBA and college basketball, depending on the size of the slate for that day.

(977) Cincinnati Reds at (978) Chicago White Sox: Elly De La Cruz Hits + Runs + RBIs
7:40pm EDT - Aug 12/2026

THE PLAY: Elly De La Cruz Hits + Runs + RBIs Over 1.5 (-136) Action

The White Sox took a swing at the trade deadline, hoping to squeeze one last run out of veteran starting pitcher Luis Castillo. We admire Chicago for taking a shot, but Castillo has out-performed expectations for quite a while thanks to the pitcher-friendly conditions in Seattle that he enjoyed for the last four years. He enters Wednesday with a career-high .269 expected batting average, a career-high .344 weighted on-base average, a career-high 4.85 expected ERA and a career-low 19.7-percent strikeout rate. In his first start with the White Sox, Castillo allowed five runs on six hits with one walk in 4.0 innings against Boston last week. Over his last four starts, Castillo has allowed a total of eight home runs (in 21.0 innings pitched). Elly De La Cruz has been a little chilly at the plate over the last couple of weeks, but this matchup represents an ideal spot for him to break out of this mini-slump. De La Cruz still sits in the top-10th percentile among all hitters in average exit velocity, barrel rate and hard-hit rate. Even though he's only hitting .182 in the month of August, De La Cruz has still eclipsed this 1.5 hits + runs + RBI mark in seven of his last 11 games. He went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored last night. He's 1-for-5 with a home run against Castillo in the past. Castillo has allowed lefty bats to hit .288 with a .354 on-base percentage against him this season. Thirteen of the 17 home runs that Castillo has allowed have come against lefties.
