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

Inside the Football GoldSheet

Write-ups, stat comparisons and power-rating point spreads for every NFL and FBS matchup · Tech Angle historical trends · box-score breakdowns from the previous week's games · week-by-week logs with ATS, over/under and home-road splits · Stat Service head-to-head notes on turnover differential and yardage stats.

Inside the Basketball GoldSheet

Daily NBA and NCAAB game previews by 11am ET / 8am PT · the Basketball Record game log with scores and spread results · the Spreadsheet of situational home/road and favorite/underdog records · roughly six Key Releases across the NBA and college basketball each day.

Newsletter vs Picks

The newsletter gives you early information to handicap on your own. The picks give you the team's sharpest consensus plays once the picture is clear. A lot of clients run both.

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.
