Since 1957

The country's longest-running sports betting newsletter

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.”

“…handicapping resources like the GoldSheet.”Billy Walters · Gambler

WEEKEND WARRIOR: EVERY FOOTBALL PLAY, SAT & SUN, JUST $49!

Two days. Two sports. One pass. Get every Saturday College Football and Sunday NFL play from your handicapper, and every 5% max football release is in there too, no upcharge. Retail runs $78. You're in for $49!

Here's the edge most people miss: plays go out the moment they're released. Buy early in the week, and you get every play in real time, at the number your handicapper actually bet. Wait until the weekend, and you risk buying in after the line's already moved. The earlier you lock in, the more picks you catch at the right price.

This is the whole football weekend, wall to wall, for less than the price of a single max play elsewhere. Lock in your Weekend Warrior now and don't leave a snap or a number on the table.

Founded in 1957, GoldSheet is the country's longest-running sports betting newsletter. The GoldSheet newsletter prides itself on providing in-depth analysis as early as possible to assist handicappers. When the dust settles on injury news, weather reports and line moves, the GoldSheet team offers its highly-respected LTS plays. Separate from the newsletter but never contrasting selections in the newsletter, these LTS selections have consistently kept GoldSheet atop WagerTalk's leaderboard since our debut in 2021. Simply put: These plays are the best of the best, and they are a big reason why GoldSheet has been a trusted source in the sports betting industry for seven decades.
