That interest in motor sports turned into a desire to make money off the sport through fantasy contests and sports betting. Like most, he took his lumps when he first got started, but now he is one of the most respected NASCAR bettors in the industry. Andy has expanded that sports betting experience to become profitable in a number of other sports, transforming this interest from a side hobby to a major source of income.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1848 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/basketba-300x151.png\" alt=\"NBA Basketballs\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/basketba-300x151.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/basketba-768x387.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/basketba.png 999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Looking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Latest Betting Odds and Public Action<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wt.buzz\/odds\" data-schema-attribute=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vegas lines<\/a> updated in real time, including who the public is betting on. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Last Minute Handicapping Advice<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">: Check out our extensive library of <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/sports-betting-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handicapping tips<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and advice from professional Vegas handicappers (we also recommend taking the time to look over our <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sports betting tips video library<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Want an expert opinion?<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> Check out the latest <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsmemo.com\/free-sports-picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener\">Free Sports Picks<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Best Bets<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> from our team of expert sports handicappers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview WagerTalk NBA handicapper Andy Lang offers his expert predictions and picks for tonight&#8217;s Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers battle from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, TN.

He\u2019s one of the best players in the league, but he misses a lot of games, and that\u2019s not going to be possible if they want to make the play-in game.<\/p>\n<p>Vanderbilt and Beasley have had their moments, and they\u2019ll have their chances to perform without Lebron, and consistency will be important as they probably can\u2019t afford bad games from them in the starting lineup.<\/p>\n<p>The Lakers are 5-9 straight up and 4-8-2 ATS without him, but that was with the Westbrook roster so I can\u2019t take too much away from that record.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Grizzlies Turning It Around?<\/h3>\n<p>The Grizzlies went on a big losing streak starting with the Shannon Sharpe game in Los Angeles on Jan. 20, and they proceeded to lose 8 out of 9 games, but they\u2019ve won 4 out of 6 with the losses being to Boston and Philly.<\/p>\n<p>They have not been a good ATS team this season as they are 27-30 this season and only 4-6 out of their last 10 and their game totals have been all over the board so picking an O\/U for this game will be very difficult.<\/p>\n<p>[coupon id=\"15928\"]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: revert; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: revert; font-weight: revert;\">Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers Expert Prediction<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<div id=\"m_-6733600805250592746yiv1345337110ymail_android_signature\">\n<div id=\"m_2487218500054431067yiv8077418208ymail_android_signature\">\n<div id=\"m_4528597959513798216yiv0582346753ymail_android_signature\">\n<p>I don\u2019t trust this Grizzlies team to cover this number against the Lakers who desperately need wins, and I really believe I get a big motivation edge tonight with the Lakers.<\/p>\n<p>AD will start the game healthy tonight, and there isn\u2019t really much Memphis can prepare for as the Lakers roster is new, and them playing without Lebron adds a new wrinkle.<\/p>\n<p>I can see some unexpected players performing well with Lebron out of the lineup, and I like supporting teams on the first game they are without their superstar.<\/p>\n<p>Memphis\u2019s bad record covering games is a red flag for me for them, and I\u2019m not a buyer on Memphis until Adams gets back. This Lakers team won\u2019t stop fighting until the end so even if they\u2019re down they can cover late in the game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers +9<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3>NBA Tip-Off Show | February 28<\/h3>\n<p>Join Joe Raineri and a rotating panel of professional handicappers for the NBA Tip-Off Show as we preview tonight's NBA card from a betting perspective.

That interest in motor sports turned into a desire to make money off the sport through fantasy contests and sports betting. Like most, he took his lumps when he first got started, but now he is one of the most respected NASCAR bettors in the industry. Andy has expanded that sports betting experience to become profitable in a number of other sports, transforming this interest from a side hobby to a major source of income.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-1848 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/basketba-300x151.png\" alt=\"NBA Basketballs\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Looking for more free sports picks and sports betting tips?<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Latest Betting Odds and Public Action<\/strong><strong>: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/wt.buzz\/odds\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">Vegas lines<\/a> updated in real time, including who the public is betting on. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Last Minute Handicapping Advice<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">: Check out our extensive library of <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/sports-betting-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handicapping tips<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and advice from professional Vegas handicappers (we also recommend taking the time to look over our <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sports betting tips video library<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Want an expert opinion?<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> Check out the latest <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsmemo.com\/free-sports-picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener\">Free Sports Picks<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12pt;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/picks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Best Bets<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> from our team of expert sports handicappers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Make sure to bookmark all the above!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16332"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16332\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28831,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16332\/revisions\/28831"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
