The End of the Wild West: Colorado Moves to Ban Player Prop Bets
2026 brings sweeping changes to sports betting: Colorado’s SB26-131 would ban player prop bets, restrict credit card funding and limit daily deposits, while federal changes (OBBBA) cut allowable loss deductions to 90%, creating a severe tax hit for high-frequency churners. At the same time, the proposed Safe Bet Act targets AI-driven micro bets to slow hyper-fast wagering. Casual bettors should watch these bills closely and start tracking wins and losses now—the new rules could remove popular prop markets and significantly change the financial math for frequent bettors.

Spring Training Is Back — Bet the Math, Not the Hype
Welcome to the show: spring training returns and it’s time to sharpen your MLB betting approach. This episode explains why baseball is a numbers game and reviews the main bet types — money line, run line, totals, quick-hit first-inning bets, and player props. We highlight the key metrics professional bettors use (FIP and wRC+) and give two reliable strategies to stay profitable: betting the first five innings to isolate starters and following steam/line movement to track sharp money. Remember, baseball is a 162-game grind — stick to the math and the odds will work in your favor.
