Bet "bettr" on this week's action 🤑

Hi BettrNation family! Congratulations to all of you who are Seattle Seahawks fans (or just those of you who didn’t want to see the Patriots win again)! Seattle rode a dominate 💪 performance from its “Dark Side” defense to win the Super Bowl, and Sam Darnold completed his redemption story, having gone from seeing ghosts to now hoisting the Lombardi Trophy 🏆 (In fact, it looked like Drake Maye and the Patriots’ offense may have been the ones seeing ghosts 😨 last weekend, as they were about as hard to look at as that Manscaped commercial with the talking hairballs 🤢).

As the sports (betting) world now turns its attention to basketball, let us get you up-to-speed on the last few months of NBA and CBB action: in the NBA, OKC looks on pace to defend its title, while their biggest challenger in the West appears to be that French alien 👽 down in San Antonio. For CBB, the Big Ten appears to be the strongest conference (sound familiar? 🤔), and as just one example of the craziness in college athletics, there was even a push for former professionals to get eligibility!

Even though football season has officially wrapped up, our focus here at BettrNation remains the same: to help you bet bettr on your betting journey! Here’s to hoping your bets this weekend perform better than U.S. figure skating superstar Ilia Malinin did yesterday, who finished (shockingly) in 8th place after being the heavy favorite to bring home the gold!

First step in responsible betting - don’t follow Kevin’s advice.

We believe that the best way to enjoy sports betting is to do so responsibly. For that reason, we’ve partnered with Birches Health to bring you helpful tips, advice, and, if needed, expert counseling. Stay tuned this season for more helpful resources brought to you by BettrNation and Birches Health!
