Teddy Covers

Consultant Bio

Ted Sevransky – better known as Teddy Covers – moved to Las Vegas to bet on sports full-time back in 1998 and he's been doing it successfully ever since. During that time, Teddy has been featured prominently in the mainstream press. Print highlights include the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Las Vegas Review Journal and Playboy magazine. Television highlights include CBS This Morning, CNBC, PBS and Bloomberg TV. Teddy starred in the recent sports betting documentary “Life on the Line” and has been featured in an ESPN 30-for-30 and on Showtime's 'Action' miniseries. 

Teddy is a 1992 University of Michigan graduate. His handicapping approach is fine tuned for the modern betting marketplace in 2021; a market that is dominated by stat-based ‘quants’ - the ‘sharp’ money.  In one sentence, Teddy looks to identify and identify and isolate 'morphing' teams -- teams that are currently playing at a different level or pace (better or worse; faster or slower) than their long term statistical profile would indicate.  Those become teams to bet on, bet against, bet over and bet under, until the quants catch up with current realities and value them correctly.

This ‘ride the hot & fade the cold’ approach has allowed Teddy to provide for himself and his family with steady income from his sports betting winnings over more than two decades.  And those two decades of experience grinding it out in Vegas allows Teddy to avoid some of the traps and pitfalls that befall many ‘cappers.  Teddy is one bettor who can handle the highs and lows of this sometimes zany and always exciting business with consistent, calm professionalism.
