So I saw a tweet by an offshore sportsbook, in about the 302,122,877th time they’ve done something like this. It declared that Deion Sanders was the favorite to be the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and listed odds. Now I was skeptical to put it mildly. As for the actual next one, well, that could be overtaken by events and who knows, maybe it will be Mr. Primetime.
But the point is that sports journalists for the 302,122,877th time took up on these odds and repeated them. Now there’s nothing wrong with repeating genuine futures odds. Just because a chance of something is slim doesn’t mean it won’t happen, and it gives an idea what oddsmakers (including at sharp books) and the market think is the best situation. However…
…This is not the case. The numbers here are basically pulled at random, and instead of letting sharps bet in, they’re from a ‘soft book’ with very low limits. It’s a publicity stunt, and sportswriters ALWAYS fall for it by repeating these things.

As a Cowboys fan, I’m not sure what drives me crazy faster……………the insane speculation about the future head coach or the constant bashing of the Jones family.
A couple of observations:
Give me good military or science fiction please……………….Cheers!

Really solid post — you nailed the whole offshore coach hustle perfectly. It’s crazy how many of these self-proclaimed “gurus” are just recycling buzzwords, flexing fake wins, and upselling overpriced Discord access or VIP picks. Feels like half of them are more into marketing than actual betting. The worst part is, newer bettors get caught up in it because the social media game is strong, even if the edge isn’t.
If you’re into betting but want something that actually helps without the hype, It doesn’t sell picks or promise lock-of-the-century nonsense — it just helps you compare odds across books, track line movement, and maybe spot a little value before the markets catch up. Super clean and practical if you’re looking to think a little sharper about where you’re putting your money.
