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!

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.

(963) Kansas City Royals at (964) Chicago White Sox: Total
7:40pm EDT - May 14/2026

THE PLAY: Total Over 8.0 (-115) Kris Bubic (LHP), Anthony Kay (LHP) Must Start

Thursday's White Sox/Royals game should see plenty of scoring. Kay has a poor 4.89 ERA and 1.57 WHIP the season. When pitching during the evening, he has a 5.89 ERA and 1.64 WHIP. Those numbers are in line with his career (5.39 ERA, 1.60 WHIP) numbers. Bubic's numbers are quite a lot better than Kay's but they're still not amazing. Notably, Bubic walked four in five innings last game and he's now issued 10 free passes over his past three starts. He's also 0-2 for his career when facing the Sox on the road. Bubic is backed by a bad KC bullpen. Entering Wednesday, Royal relievers had a 4.74 ERA (fifth worst in the majors) and 1.45 WHIP. Chicago's bullpen stats aren't much better. Entering Wednesday, White Sox relievers had a 4.55 ERA and 1.46 WHIP. Expect a relatively high-scoring affair. *good at 9 or better

(629) Seattle Storm at (630) Toronto Tempo: Spread
7:00pm EDT - May 13/2026

THE PLAY: Toronto Tempo -3.5 (-105)

The Toronto Tempo likely won't win many games this season. However, this should be a good spot to earn their first. The Storm did beat Connecticut last game but the Sun are rebuilding this season. The Storm had a major roster overhaul themselves and are also rebuilding. They're transitioning away from the previous core, trading away veterans and going with a youth movement. They've got a new coach and are more focused on long-term development than "winning now." While the same could be said of the Tempo, Canada's first ever team definitely want to earn "Win #1." With the home crowd behind them, I like their chances of getting it. *good at -4 or better
