Soccer · Tennis · Basketball · NCAAF · Week of Mon, Aug 31 – Sun, Sep 6

Five weekly locks. Never worse than +100.

SharpFaves reads every soccer, ATP tennis, basketball, and NCAAF board from the upcoming Monday through Sunday, keeps sides at −400 or better, then prints one 5-leg ticket that pays even money or better. WTA is left off this desk. On Sunday night that’s next week. If that week can’t fill five, the desk opens the week after.

Heavy chalk on Week of Mon, Aug 31 – Sun, Sep 6 would have paid under +100, so the desk swapped in a shorter favorite.

How the desk picks

Six checks, one weekly ticket

  1. 01

    Full week

    Every remaining soccer, ATP tennis, basketball, and NCAAF board from the upcoming Monday through Sunday. WTA stays off the weekly ticket. Sunday night jumps to next week. If five −400 locks aren’t posted yet, the desk opens the week after.

  2. 02

    Five legs

    The desk prints five unique games. It will step the juice down before it ever prints a four-leg slip.

  3. 03

    Plus-money floor

    Combined price is at least +100. If five heavy chalks would pay under even money, a shorter favorite is swapped in.

  4. 04

    −400 board

    Weekly locks start at −400 or juicier, then the same mismatch, form, home, and market cut. Not a pile of −110 sides.

  5. 05

    Market shape

    Two-way sports (tennis, basketball, NCAAF) score ahead of soccer, where the draw still lurks. Home and form add points.

  6. 06

    Prints at 8 AM

    Weekly scouts only on Monday at 8:00 AM Eastern. That slip is frozen until next Monday. Coming back later does not reprint it.
