Triple Play All-Access Baseball Pass – Includes 5% Best Bets – ONLY $49!

For a limited time, get every baseball play from your favorite handicapper for three full days — and any 5% Best Bets released — for just $49. That's only $16.33 per day for every premium baseball release your handicapper posts. You'll receive instant access the moment plays are released, ensuring you get the best possible number before the lines move.

Individually, these plays would cost well over $100, but the Triple Play All-Access Pass gives you three days of nonstop baseball action for less than half the price. As a bonus, if your handicapper releases any college or international selections during your access window — including College Baseball, KBO (Korea) or NPB (Japan) — those are included at no extra charge. Don't miss a single first pitch — lock in your Triple Play All-Access Pass today and start cashing tickets!

*Access includes all MLB selections and any college/international baseball released and played during your 3-day window.

WAGERTALK 2026 WORLD CUP ALL-ACCESS PASS — $149!

The biggest sporting event on the planet hits North American soil June 11 through July 19 — 48 teams, 104 matches, 39 days of action. From the opener at Estadio Azteca to the final at MetLife Stadium, lock in every play your expert releases from the group stage to lifting the trophy.

What You Get:

  • Every World Cup play your expert releases, June 11 through the July 19 Final
  • Coverage across the matches and markets where your expert sees value: sides, totals, props, futures, and live-bet alerts
  • Group stage through the Final — all included, no upsells when knockouts start
  • 5% Best-bets and top-confidence plays
  • Same-day delivery before kickoff with the full write-up

Why $149: A single sharp play can pay for this card multiple times over. Six weeks of capper-grade analysis on the most-bet soccer tournament in history — one flat price.

The Edge: World Cup markets are flooded with casual money — tourists, squares, flag-wavers backing their home country regardless of value. That's exactly the soft market a sharp capper feasts on. Your expert is selective, hunting spots where the number is wrong — not forcing a play on every match just to fill a card.

Lock it in before the June 11 opener — once the ball kicks, this offer disappears!

3-Day All-Access Pass — ONLY $49

For a limited time, get three full days of all-access service from the handicapper of your choice for just $49 — only $16 per day for every play they handicap across all sports, including MLB, NBA, NHL, WNBA, soccer, UFC, tennis, and more.

That's $20 off the regular site price.

Need more than 3 days? Stack 'em up. Buy multiple 3-Day passes and ride the same low rate as long as you want — they'll run back-to-back so you never miss a play.

And here's the kicker: while your pass is active, you'll also have a 25% OFF coupon good on regular-priced daily packages and Flex Passes!

Whether you're following a proven expert or trying someone new, this deal gives you full access to every selection and every piece of analysis — no restrictions, no exceptions.

(603) Indiana Fever at (604) Golden State Valkyries: Total
10:00pm EDT - May 28/2026

THE PLAY: Total Over 169.5 (-108)

These teams recently combined for 172 points, a 90-82 win for the Fever, at Indiana. They should score at least that many again Thursday. After scoring 82 and 87 points in two road games, the Valkyries returned home and scored 97 last game. Meanwhile, the Fever have scored at least 87 points in eight straight games, a minimum of 89 in each of their past three. They average 93.83 ppg, most in the WNBA. The Fever are very slight favorites, as of this writing. Based on those odds, the game is expected to be close and could go either way. If Indiana scores 87 or more, as the have done every time this season, and the Valkyries keep things close, we should see the final score finish above the relatively low number. *good at 171 or less

(655) Washington Mystics at (656) Seattle Storm: Total
10:00pm EDT - May 27/2026

THE PLAY: Total Over 157.5 (-105)

These teams just combined for 182 points on Sunday. Yet, the O/U line is still the same for Wednesday's rematch. I feel that it'll again prove to be too low. The Mystics have now allowed 92 or more points in four straight games. Over that 4-game span, they're allowing an average of 97.25 points. Even if Seattle doesn't crack the 90 mark again, the Storm should still put up another fairly big number. They're reached a minimum of 77 in four straight games. The Mystics are the favorite though. If they're going to get some payback, they're going to need to put up a lot of points. Go with the over. *good at 160 or less
