Simply put, the smart money is the money bet by the sharps. Sharps can be defined in a number of ways, but basically they are the professional sports bettors who have better knowledge, do more and better research, have bigger bankrolls, and have a better long term expectation of profit than the typical bettor.

Prop betting seeks to proposition the bettor with a question, one that may or may not have a direct bearing on the final score. For example: How many receiving yards will Tyreek Hill have?

With Pinata Picks, you'll wager on something with, for example, 100/1 odds. However, you are assigned a random value on that particular bet. For example, as we head into Week 8 of the NFL season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hosting the Baltimore Ravens.
