Iceland Premier League: #216737/216738 ASA TOP PLAY ON Over 3 Goals (-120) – Stjarnan at Vestmannaeyjar, Monday at 2:30 ET - Vestmannaeyjar won the last meeting with Stjarnan 3-2 and that was revenge for a 3-2 loss in the Icelandic Cup in the prior meeting in February. As you can see, 5 goals were scored in each meeting and we expect something similar here even though Vestmannaeyjar has not been scoring as well as of late. They can get things going here against a Stjarnan side that has allowed 8 goals last 3 matches. The strength for Stjarnan is they have averaged 2.5 goals in their last 8 games. They are on the road here but the high-scoring ways should continue while Vestmannaeyjar gets back on track at home as this one could see both clubs get to multiple-goal tallies just like the last two meetings! We are big on the over in this one. |

ASA WNBA play on Golden State Valkyries -115 vs. Phoenix Mercury, 10pm ET - Both teams have had surprising starts to the season with the Mercury at 14-6 SU, the expansion Valkyries are 10-10 SU. The Mercury has the better overall Net rating at +6.3 compared to +2.1 for the Valkyries but injuries and current rosters have a lot to do with tonight’s outcome. Phoenix will be without Sabally and Copper, two starters averaging 19 and 16ppg respectively. Golden State meanwhile has recently gotten three European players back in their rotation after missing several games to play overseas. GST is 3-3 SU in their last six games, four of which were on the road. The three losses came by a total of just 22-total points. In that 6-game stretch they played some of the best teams in the league including Las Vegas, Indiana, Atlanta, Minnesota and Seattle. Phoenix is playing very well right now with a 8-2 SU record in their last ten games and coming off a HUGE win in their previous game over Minnesota. You have to ask yourself, why is Phoenix an underdog when they are playing so well? With the injuries to Phoenix and Golden State at home where they are 7-3 SU on the season, we like the Valkyries big in this one. |

Champions League | First qualifying round: #224261/224262 ASA PLAY ON Over 2.5 Goals (-140) Vikingur Gota at Lincoln Red Imps, Tuesday at 11:30 AM ET - The first leg saw a total of 5 goals scored and with Vikingur Gota down 3-2 in this one, the visitors are going to have to be aggressive here. They have been in great road form recently so they will not be lacking in confidence here. However, the Lincoln Red Imps also have been strong at home in Gibraltar. This sets up well for getting to the 3 goal mark, at the very least, as this one will again have a good pace just like we saw in the 1st leg match-up. The fact the visitors trail by a goal ensures that plus Lincoln will be ready to put them away here at home and leave no doubt. All 5 goals in the first meeting were scored in the 1st half and we expect another quick start here to set the tone for another easy over in this one! |

Champions League | First qualifying round: #224258 ASA PLAY ON Kairat +132 over NK Olimpija Ljubljana, Tuesday at 11 AM ET - The first leg finished a 1-1 draw and that has Kairat happy with the result as that one was in Slovenia and now they are back home in Kazakhstan where they have been so strong! Indeed Kairat has won 11 of the last 12 matches in their home stadium. Surely the hosts are going to take advantage of a NK Olimpija Ljubljana side that has gone winless in its last 5 road games! Though we risk a loss here should this one end in a draw, the home side is offering excellent value with this money line in the +130 range and we are siding with Kairat to get the win here! |
SERVICE BIO |

The owners of American Sports Analysts (ASAwins), Lee Kostroski & Mike Merlet, have a combined 50+ years in the sports betting industry. Both started with Doc’s Enterprises, Lee in the late 80’s and Mike in the early 90’s. After learning the handicapping trade from one of the oldest in the business, they started ASA Inc in 1997 and have been going strong ever since. They have been known throughout the industry for their success on BIG GAMES including their 10* Midwest Game of the Year. ASA is located in Madison, WI and a foundation of their handicapping prowess revolves around the heart of the country – especially the Big Ten. ASAwins has appeared on numerous radio shows throughout the country as special expert football guests including Tampa, New Orleans, Madison, Milwaukee, Memphis, Las Vegas, and Denver just to name a few. They were also featured on the ESPN website with gaming writer Chad Millman during the 2011 season. ASAwins handicapping methods have evolved through years of with hard work and research being the anchor of their success. Rather than implementing one specific strategy as many handicappers do, they intertwine many different philosophies when it comes to making football, basketball, hockey, and baseball selections. They utilize their massive database that goes back over 30 years and can give them in depth information on any situation you can think of when it comes to handicapping. That’s not where they stop, however. They also research stats and film each week to evaluate the upcoming match ups on the field along with speaking with their personal contacts throughout the country (especially in the Midwest). On top of that, they analyze each point spread (and their movements) comparing them with their own power ratings to find where an edge might be found. Lastly, their predictive analytics or math models predict the outcomes of games based solely on numbers and statistics that aren’t swayed by the human element. So, as you can see, just because a game may fall into a successful system or the scheduling looks good to go against or with a certain team, that doesn’t mean that ASA automatically uses it as a selection. It must go through their in-depth process with all things considered before they give it the ASA stamp of approval. Looking at games from all these angles gives ASA the best of all worlds when it comes to handicapping. Their handicapping theories have proven successful over the years which has them as one of the more tenured experts in the industry. Lee & Mike at ASAwins have stood the test of time in an industry that makes it very tough to do so. Their 50+ years of experience will give you the WINNING EDGE you need. Sports wagering is an investment and it’s time you invest in the known commodity of ASAwins! |
