Each week, I delve into some of the stats that make Pickwatch tick. This week, I'm looking at which sports are performing best across our platform, generating the best - and most consistent - results.

Oh, and on the subject of 'results', before I get started, let me announce our biggest new feature of the coming weeks:

Coming Soon: BetSmart Results

As much as I love writing about how great we are, there's always an element of frustration that I have a wealth of information at my fingertips, that you don't. In particular, I'm talking about bet results.

Launching in the next couple of weeks, our BetSmart results section will be a huge addition to our platform, that again reinforces our commitment to transparency. In our initial launch, we're tackling the two biggest datasets: Prop Finder, and Positive EV, delivering every bet available every day, along with the results, profit and loss, and any other pertinent information.

You'll be able to add or remove columns, and filter data very easily, so you can very easily see how our 'best bets' are performing over your chosen time period, while retaining the ability to view thousands of other bets each day, assessing performances of individual players, teams, or sports. We'll even tell you at the top of the page what the win rate and ROI is of your currently selected filter selections.

More powerfully, the filters allow you to create winning 'models' that have immediate predictive use. So you could, for example, see how MLB total hits, when the odds are under +160 are performing. If you find that they are hitting at a good rate (no pun inteneded), you can then filter in upcoming bets that also meet that criteria, meaning that you can find winning patterns, then immediately use that information to win bets.

Results will be a huge part of our summer. Ultimately, we have long said that while other companies who provide odds scanning software are not focused on their customers, we very much are. We want you to see every win and loss, because we've watched this data in the background for some time, and we know you'll be impressed.

Now, here are the best sports and how they're performing over the last week:

No. 1: Soccer 3.5 star or higher bets: 9-2 (+41.4% Return on Investment)

Our Soccer data is going to be huge in this year's World Cup, but BetSmart's recommendations in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and even the Liga MX, are right on the money. The 81.2% hit rate means that you'll win around 4 of every 5 bets.

All of these bets are money line or total goals, and if you're looking for a real sweet spot, check out our 3.5 star+ La Liga picks, which went 5-0 last week for a return on investment of a cool +83.8%

No. 2: MLB 5 star bets: 6-1 (+37.9% Return on Investment)

The MLB season has been a big success for BetSmart, generating the best results of any sport this year so far. That's in no small part because we had a full season of data to analyze and refine from 2025, and a lot of our additions to BetSmart work particularly well with a sport like Baseball, that resets after every pitch, and has always lent itself to analytics.

Our MLB week saw us hit on 6 of our 7 five-star bets last week, generating a profit of +37.9%! Extending that down to 4.75 star and above yields a hit rate of 15-3, with a +34.3% ROI on the week. As ever, MLB is a crown jewel in our betting calendar, and we're consistently able to filter the very best bets to the top of our systems.

No. 3: NHL 4.75+ star bets: 3-1 (+32.9% ROI)

The Hockey season is in the postseason, but that's been a good thing for our Positive EV picks.

Over the last week, our BetSmart system flagged 4 bets of 4.75 or higher rating, yielding a 3-1 win record, and a return of 1/3 of your investment.

Even better, there are some serious sweet spots. Our Money line (2-0), Total Player Assists (5-0) and Total Goals (1-0) picks were all perfect, and in fact, if you discount the unprofitable Total Shots on Goal market, our picks went 18-4 on 4-star or higher bets!

Tennis 3+ Star Bets (9-3, +31.9% ROI)

Did you know we cover Tennis? Well we do, with both the mens ATP tour, and the womens WTA tour. Our Positive EV system mainly flags money line picks, but we also cover props, which are less of a thing in tennis.

Want to get more specific? Check out our ATP bets only, which went 6-1 last week, yielding a +59.2% ROI!

NBA 4.5+ Star Bets (9-9, -10.6% ROI)

Like I said, no system wins every bet, every week, and the NBA playoffs have been a little funky for us overall, with a 50% win rate on our top bets. Why is this? Well, teams and players play differently in the postseason, and that means players underwhelming vs their historic 'norms', as teams do whatever it takes to win.

While the overall record is our only sport with a negative ROI last week, there are still very easy to find spots that are very profitable. Total Assists (6-3) Total Blocks (3-1), and Total Points and Assists (3-1) are all profitable at a rate of +20% or higher, but the real sweet spot? Total Steals. This market went 7-1 over the last week with bets over 4 stars, yielding a return of +45.7%. It's also been a consistent winner for us all year long.

Oh, and don't worry about this blip. We're always adjusting algorithms to account for bad form or trends. Even better, our new results segment will immediately cut out the props/markets dragging down our overall win rate, so you need never think about them!

Conclusion: Find your sweet spot in every sport

Our new results system will make finding these spots much easier, and we're also going to be working hard to highlight systems that are profitable, so you don't need to do any work if you don't want to. Betting is never as easy as the frauds on social media make out, and one thing I always tell people is that if you can make a profit betting every month, that's an amazing achievement.

That's why I built BetSmart, and the results? They speak for themselves, and from May, they'll do exactly that.
