Bets by Buddy from Boston – 1/6/2025

Diamond is taking a little break from betting. His whereabouts unknown, his return date to be determined. Luckily his Buddy from Boston is here to bring you your betting content.

Tonight, I’m diving into multiple sports and player props, as I do on most nights. After a full day of researching plays and consulting some of my most trusted sources, I’ve put together a list of my top picks. While I tend to favor parlays (yes, I know they’re called “loser’s bets” for a reason—the more legs, the tougher the win), I want to highlight some of my favorite plays for tonight. Here’s what I’m riding with—let’s make it count.

Tonight, I’m rolling with one college basketball moneyline play, courtesy of MrBigBetsBrand on Twitter. He’s one of the better handicappers in the game—and one of the better people, too—especially in a space often flooded with toxic “lotto” plays that have little chance of hitting. Over the past week, he’s managed to cash in on a handful of legitimate lotto plays. By “lottos,” I mean bets in the +1500 to +2500 range—not those exaggerated +100 to +150 long shots.

Tonight’s Picks

  • Wisconsin ML
  • Incarnate Word ML
