All GoldSheet Products - Newsletter, Picks and Stat Sheets
Now In One Place

All of our content - From the Football GoldSheet newsletter to the daily NBA stat sheets to our LTS best bets - can now be found here. Current newsletter subscribers can log in using their existing GoldSheet account information to access their content.

The Industry Standard

Founded in 1957, GoldSheet is the country's longest-running sports betting newsletter. In May 2019, WagerTalk Media announced its intent to acquire GoldSheet in a deal to bring the iconic publication into the digital age.

Bettors and oddsmakers have used GoldSheet’s betting analysis for nearly seven decades. In 2022, the Chicago Sun Times did a piece on our history in the sports betting industry, and we were featured in Billy Walters’ critically-acclaimed book, Gambler: Secrets from a Life at Risk: “Mike was not a big sports gambler himself, but he knew a ripe market when he saw one. He dug for information at his local library and bookstores. He searched NCAA football guides, which listed scores and statistics, as well as local and national newspapers and handicapping resources like the GoldSheet.”

Classic GoldSheet Newsletter

Newsletter vs Picks

What's the difference between the GoldSheet newsletter and LTS Picks? The Football GoldSheet newsletter gets published every Tuesday during football season and The Basketball GoldSheet newsletter gets published daily by 12pm ET / 9am PT. We pride ourselves on being one of the first publications to market every week, giving you information as early as possible to assist in your handicapping process.

The biggest challenge with publishing a newsletter that early is that we don't always have important injury and weather reports at that time. Our LTS pick selections are made using a collaborative approach later in the week when some of those intangibles are a little more settled.

The GoldSheet team currently consists of seven handicappers with each one focusing on a specific area in specific sports. The team collaborates each day to share thoughts on their favorite wagers, betting notes and injury news. Using that collaboration, the team determines their top selections and those consensus picks are what gets released to clients.

The Football GoldSheet

  • We break down the box scores of the previous week’s games to help you find anomalies in important statistical categories.
  • The Football GoldSheet contains a running week-by-week log with each team’s record against the spread, over/unders, and home-road splits to help you analyze their performance in a variety of situations.
  • Formerly known as Confidential Kickoff, our Stat Service page offers a head-to-head look at each upcoming game with notes on turnover differential, yardage stats and much more.
First GoldSheet Ever

The Basketball GoldSheet

  • The Basketball GoldSheet newsletter will feature daily NBA and NCAAB game previews released by 12pm ET / 9am PT during the week and 10am ET / 7am PT on the weekends to accommodate for the earlier start times.
  • The Basketball Record provides a game log for every team with scores and point spread results.
  • The Basketball Spreadsheet provides situational records for each team based on their home/road splits and how they are performing as a favorite or as an underdog in certain situations.
  • Each daily issue features roughly six Key Releases across the NBA and college basketball, depending on the size of the slate for that day.

Netherlands to Reach the Round of 16
4:00pm EDT - Jun 14/2026

THE PLAY: Netherlands to Reach the Round of 16

Soccer bettors and pundits have seemingly soured on the Netherlands heading into the World Cup because the Dutch have a pretty notable reputation of falling short in major tournament settings. Well, for all intents and purposes, that's perfectly fine for the purposes of this bet. The Dutch have enjoyed success under second-term manager Ronald Koeman, going unbeaten (six wins, two draws) in World Cup qualifying. In the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Netherlands lost to eventual-champions Argentina in penalty kicks in the quarterfinals. In Euro 2024, the Dutch lost to England on a 90th-minute goal in the semifinals. There's nothing to be ashamed about regarding either of those results, but those shortcomings have seemingly kept expectations in the betting market at a cool temperature heading into this year's World Cup. There is a club-like feel with the Dutch squad as 15 members of the team play in the English Premier League, including several groups of teammates. Liverpool and Brighton each have a trio of players on the squad, including the defensive backbone of Virgil van Dijk and Bart Verbruggen. Navigating Group F will not be easy for the Dutch, but travel should not be an issue. The Netherlands' group stage games are in Dallas, Houston and Kansas City, which is a very comfortable route when you consider the path that some other teams are forced to take. Japan, Tunisia and Sweden will all present a challenge, but we're comfortable backing a Dutch team that hasn't lost a match in regulation since October 2024. As of May 31 Netherlands to reach the Round of 16 is available at:

  • -125 at Caesars

  • -140 at DraftKings

  • -145 at FanDuel
