About Ashlee Kiddell
Following his previous role as a sports handicapper, Ashlee knows exactly what fellow sports bettors are looking for. He can spot key betting trends, knows the essential numbers and data to look out for, and spends hours researching games before producing his content.
When he’s not writing about sports, he’s usually watching as many games as possible, whether that be soccer, the NFL, the NBA, UFC, golf, and more. Outside of sports, Ashlee loves music, and you’ll most likely find him listening to either The Beatles, Arctic Monkeys or Oasis.

Recent pieces
Hosting the tournament for the first time since 1994, the USMNT are favored to go deep at the 2026 World Cup. They are currently the favorites to win Group D, but will first take on Paraguay in their opening group stage game. The US are -108 favorites with BetMGM for their first match taking place at Los Angeles Stadium, Inglewood, California.
It’s Game 2 of the 2026 NBA Finals on Friday night. The New York Knicks have taken a 1-0 series lead after beating the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 on the road at Frost Bank Center on Wednesday. The Spurs are the -6.5-point favorites with BetMGM, despite going down early on in the series. I’m going to back the Spurs to cover the spread heading into Game 2, as it’s a must-win game for them before they head out on the road to Madison Square Garden.
Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference finals tips off on Thursday night, as OKC Thunder heads to San Antonio with a 3-2 series lead. Oklahoma are 3.5-point underdogs (-110) with BetMGM for their trip to Frost Bank Center, but a win for Gilgeous-Alexander and co. will seal their spot in the NBA Finals. The Thunder secured a 127-114 victory on Tuesday night in Oklahoma to take control of the best-of-7 series.
