Maybe this won’t surprise you, but just about everyone at VSiN — no matter their title — has skin in the game.
Producers. Hosts. Editors. Behind the scenes or on camera. Maybe even owners.
I hope that comes through in the programming. Sports betting — for bettors, by bettors.
That’s one reason I love “The Angle,” created by Luke DiVasta, the producer of Follow The Money.
It’s not flashy. It’s not complicated. But it’s 38-10 ATS since Jan. 22. The latest system match: Eastern Washington (+1.5) beat Northern Colorado 82-72 on Thursday night.
The best part? It’s simple.
If the power ratings from Greg Peterson, Bart Torvik and Erik Haslam project a team to be favored — but the sportsbook opens that same team as an underdog — it triggers a play.
That’s it.
The key is that this system is built off opening lines. If those projections show value, the market often moves quickly. Many of these games fall into short underdog ranges, where tight spreads also create quiet moneyline value.
As Luke told VSiN.com managing editor Adam Burke, the idea came from repeatedly seeing those projection sites align — and learning the hard way not to ignore them. Once he committed to tracking and playing the angle consistently, the results followed.
And frankly, it passes the sniff test.
There are 365 Division I teams. Oddsmakers are forced to hang numbers every night — including on mid-majors some of us probably can’t find on a map. Inefficiencies can surface early.
That’s where The Angle lives.
