Henry’s passion for sports dates all the way back to childhood and has ultimately led to a full-fledged career as an analyst and content creator. After getting his start penning fantasy football articles, he forrayed into the betting side of the business in early 2019. His love for sports and statistics proved to be an ideal match with the dedicated research and strategy that handicapping requires. Henry currently specializes in betting analysis and picks for college football, college basketball and NASCAR. He counts the NFL, the WNBA, and NBA player props as additional leagues/markets of interest. Henry graduated from SUNY Buffalo in 2021 with a Communication Studies degree and a Psychology minor. A native of the Finger Lakes region in Upstate New York, he and his pup, Harold, have since relocated to Laramie, Wyoming. Thanks to his professional goals within the sports betting industry, there has been a whole lot of steam on the odds for a move to Las Vegas in 2023! Most of Henry’s free time is spent on outdoor adventures, playing chess, snowboarding, or reading a good book. He is also a competitive powerlifter and aspires to qualify for the USAPL Nationals meet within the next 2-3 years.

The NASCAR Cup Series sure knows how to kick off its postseason with a bang. The 72nd annual running of the historic Cook Out Southern 500 marks the first race of the 2021 NASCAR Playoffs. Located in South Carolina, Darlington Raceway will host the festivities on this Labor Day Weekend. Along with being one of the oldest tracks NASCAR visits, two drastically different ends and a very abrasive surface help Darlington live up to its nickname, ‘The Track Too Tough to Tame’. The first eight rows of the Cook Out Southern 500 starting lineup are comprised of this year’s 16…

The NASCAR Cup Series regular season will conclude this weekend at the same track where it began: Daytona International Speedway. The Coke Zero Sugar 400 will be run under the lights on Saturday night. It marks the 26th and final race before the start of the NASCAR Playoffs and serves as the final opportunity for drivers to win their way into the championship chase. The 2.5-mile, high-banked oval is as unpredictable as any track on the circuit. That being said, there are plenty of NASCAR betting trends and stats to be mindful of when handicapping this weekend’s action. The following…
The final race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series regular season is scheduled for this weekend. Perhaps only fittingly, the season ends right where it began at Daytona International Speedway. Saturday night’s Coke Zero Sugar 400 represents the last chance for any number of drivers to win and claim the final spot in the NASCAR Playoffs. The unpredictability of superspeedway racing gives even the longshots a chance. There will be plenty of position shuffling throughout the evening, but those drivers near the front in the Coke Zero Sugar 400 starting lineup will at least have an early positional advantage. The…
After this past weekend’s FireKeepers Casino 400, just one race remains before the start of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. Given that said race is slated to be run on the steep banks of Daytona International Speedway, the excitement level for fans is sky-high. While several executive decisions NASCAR has made in recent years have been rightly questioned, moving the regular-season finale to the most famous track in the sport was certainly a good one. Expect the Unexpected at Daytona Just as Michael McDowell proved at this year’s Daytona 500 in February, anyone can win on a superspeedway. With…

After all, Michigan International Speedway is literally in the backyard of each auto giant’s headquarters. A familiar Chevy driver tops the odds as the NASCAR betting favorite this week. That said, there are plenty of Toyotas looking to spoil the party as well. There are numerous handicapping angles to consider when making NASCAR betting picks this week. The…
