Betting Trends Of The Day For Thursday, Jan. 12

Trends are one of the most popular tools to utilize when betting on sports, and we feature a boatload of them here at BetQL. Every matchup is different, and we have trends based on each matchup and how it could affect the outcome. Our best trends will be listed here for each sport, so our premium subscribers get a glimpse at what specific trends blend with our model's projections. Let's find some winners and cash out large on this Thursday.

Remember, these trends don't take into account how high a line might be priced. Some trends may have a huge moneyline associated with them. In that case, I recommend pairing that team with the trend on them with another, for a small two-team parlay. Most sportsbooks have parlay boosts as well, so you can still get value.

NHL: Kraken ML at Bruins

I might as well just rename this section to "Kraken ML" every single time, but I am far too original to do that. All jokes aside, why should I pick any other trend? This has been absolutely smacking for us almost every single night Seattle is playing. It's printing money right now, and I've learned over the years that you don't fix what isn't broken. The Kraken are more than good enough to take down the Bruins in Boston. Yes, it will be tough, and Boston is an extremely good team that plays great at home. But this number is just ludicrous; +200 is some great value on a good team. Plus, this trend just keeps hitting over and over again: The Seattle Kraken are 10-2 SU on the road against teams averaging 5.0 or more assists per game. I'll say it again, don't ask me why they are so good in this situation. I really have no idea. What I do know is that we are up a whopping 12.9 units already this season just based on this trend alone. Not only that, but we have gotten some insane ROI out of this, a 107.5% rate to be exact.

NCAAB: UCLA ML vs. Utah

This is quite a terrible college basketball slate today, but we have a few games that stick out. UCLA is in action tonight at home against Pac-12 rival Utah, and they are massive -800 ML favorites here to get the win. This trend unfortunately just applies to the ML, and there is no way you should be betting on something with that much juice. As I mentioned in the opener, the best way to play these is by pairing them with another game, and then using a parlay boost to get your odds to a point that is actually feasible to bet on. I recommend betting -135 or better odds, as any more juice than that is paying too much for me. However, you do as you see fit. This is a great trend that has been hitting a ton for us, and it has brought in the dough consistently.

UCLA head coach Mick Cronin is 19-3 SU in a home game where the total is 130 to 139.5 while coaching the Bruins. Cronin usually has his team prepped and ready for games just like this. Not only that, but Cronin is 22-6 versus teams averaging 6.0 or fewer steals per game. There you have two trends, so never say that I am not a generous man. Pair the UCLA ML with another bet you like, perhaps one of our 5-star plays from the BetQL model.

NBA: Nets ML vs. Celtics

We have a pretty small NBA slate to pick from today, but that doesn't mean we don't have a great trend that has won us a lot of money this season. This time it's on an underdog in the NBA, and that is the Brooklyn Nets. Now, they are only an underdog here at home because Kevin Durant, their best player and leading scorer, is out. Obviously that makes it harder for them to win, but this team has been so hot lately that it should be able to keep the momentum even without him. Kyrie Irving is still scoring 26.0 ppg, and can still be a dominant scorer. Ben Simmons is doing his thing, and he keeps getting more comfortable every week. This trend has been on fire, and the trend is basically just the Nets themselves.

Brooklyn head coach Jacque Vaughn is 14-1 SU in all games while coaching the Nets. Pour one out for Steve Nash, could he have been the reason this team was so awful to start the season? Under Vaughn, the Nets have been pretty much unbeatable. In fact, we are up 13.75 units on the Nets since Vaughn took over duties, and we have an ROI of 91.7% on this trend. Now, they have had Durant for those games, too, but they can certainly win without him. Jump on the bandwagon with us and start cashing with a plus-money dog tonight.
