Why this pick?

Our 53% is the betting market's own price for the Los Angeles Lakers: the DraftKings line, with its margin taken out. It is not a secret model.

Since we locked it the market moved 2.3 points away from the Los Angeles Lakers.

Our last 6 graded calls on the Los Angeles Lakers: 5 right.

At 53%, a pick like this still loses about 47 times in 100.

What we add is timing: we watch this game live and email members when the pick pulls well ahead, so they can check the cash-out at their own sportsbook.
