The Country’s Longest-Running
Sports Betting Newsletter

All GoldSheet Products - Newsletter, Picks and Stat Sheets
Now In One Place

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 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.

(953) St. Louis Cardinals at (954) Pittsburgh Pirates
6:40pm EDT - Jun 30/2025

THE PLAY: Pittsburgh Pirates +111 E Fedde (RHP), A Heaney (LHP) Must Start

Unless you play in a place like San Francisco (pitcher friendly) or Colorado (hitter friendly), home vs road splits for a starting pitcher typically do not hold a lot of weight. Starting pitchers should generally perform the same regardless of the venue. Andrew Heaney may be an exception who really enjoys sleeping in his own bed at home. Heaney has a 2.95 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP at home this season, compared to a 1-5 record with a 5.79 ERA on the road. That's not a one-year anomaly, either. Last year when he was with the Rangers, Heaney had a 3.64 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP at home compared to a 4.86 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP on the road. His wife must cook an awesome breakfast at home on the days that he's scheduled to pitch. Five of Heaney's last six starts have come on the road, so he's happy to be back at PNC Park on Monday night. In his last home start, Heaney allowed one run on four hits with five strikeouts and no walks in 6.0 innings against the Phillies. Cardinals' starter Erick Fedde has also endured some recent struggles. In his last outing against the Cubs, Fedde allowed seven runs on eight hits with two walks in 3.2 innings. After a strong 2024 campaign, Fedde has struggled this season. He enters Monday in the bottom-20th percentile among pitchers in expected ERA, expected batting average allowed, average exit velocity, chase rate, whiff rate and strikeout rate. His average exit velocity has jumped over two miles per hour from 88.6 mph to 90.7 mph. His hard-hit rate has jumped from 37.7-percent to 43.3-percent. His strikeout rate has dropped from 21.2-percent to 15.2-percent. His walk rate has jumped from 7.2-percent to 10.2-percent. His expected ERA (5.26) is over a run higher than his actual ERA (4.11). The Pirates' lineup will have a small familiarity advantage in this matchup as they have seen Fedde earlier this season (in a game the Pirates won), but the Cardinals have not faced Heaney.

James Madison to Win the Sun Belt East Division
12:00pm EDT - Aug 30/2025

THE PLAY: James Madison to Win the Sun Belt East Division

The quality of play in the Sun Belt has improved dramatically over the last few years, but James Madison should be the class of the East Division in 2025. Marshall won the division (and conference) last season, but head coach Charles Huff went to Southern Miss and took several key pieces with him. The West Division is going to be loaded with intriguing storylines this season: How quickly can Huff build Southern Miss? Can South Alabama's offense continue to cook without QB Gio Lopez? Does Texas State have one foot out the conference realignment door? But in the East, James Madison should have a very favorable path toward the Sun Belt Championship Game. According to the odds board, the two biggest challengers to the Dukes in the East are Georgia Southern and Old Dominion. James Madison gets to host both of those teams in Harrisonburg. Head coach Bob Chesney has been very complimentary of the pieces that the Dukes will welcome on offense this season. "The quarterback room, the receiver room, the running back room, there’s a whole lot more in here than we might have had a year ago," Chesney said. That's a scary proposition for the rest of the league, considering the Dukes have consistently performed at the top of the conference.
