Formula 1: Hungarian Grand Prix

When: August 1 – August 3, 2025
Where: Hungaroring, Mogyoród, Hungary
Where to Watch: Live on ESPN and F1 TV Pro
Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks

Formula 1 stops in at the Hungaroring this weekend, before teams and drivers take a well-deserved three-week recess. McLaren is the team to beat after claiming 10 of the 13 races so far. Lando Norris has contributed four to the total, while Oscar Piastri stood at the top of the podium in Belgium for a sixth time this season. The Australian enters Mogyoród as the favorite ahead of his teammate, and he’s the defending champion on this asphalt. He’s finished every Grand Prix in 2025 and lines up this weekend with the best finishing average on the grid, with 2.46.

Key Times (CEST):

Saturday, August 2:
Practice #3: 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Qualifying: 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Sunday, August 3:
Race: 3:00 p.m.

Expert Pick

Oscar Piastri has the edge over his colleague heading into Hungary, after finishing on the podium in all but two races this season. He’s only missed the post-race celebrations once in his last 12 starts, highlighting his insane consistency to date. Piastri lines up at +138 to retain his Hungarian Grand Prix title, possibly paying out $47.60 on a $20 wager.

PDGA: 2025 Pro World Championships

When: July 30 –  August 3, 2025
Where: Tampere Disc Golf Course, Nokia Sports Centre Park, Finland
Where to Watch: Live on Disc Golf Network
Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks

We are three days into the “Pinnacle of Disc Golf” with the finest MPO and FPO players battling it out in Finland. Ezra Aderhold carried a four-shot lead in the MPO class entering Friday, while Lida Lehtomäki sat in pole position in the FPO tussle. She is six shots ahead of Silva Saarinen, who has won three of her last five starts and finished inside the top two four times in that period.

Key Times (EEST):

Saturday, August 2:
FPO: 9:00 a.m.
MPO: 2:30 p.m.

Sunday, August 3:
FPO: 9:00 a.m.
MPO: 2:30 p.m.

Expert Pick

It’s a tight three-way race in the FPO bracket in our books, and we think Silva Saarinen has the class to prevail at home. The Finn enters with odds of +311, potentially paying $82.20, if your $20 wager comes off.

MotoAmerica: Superbikes at VIRginia

When: August 1 – August 3, 2025
Where: VIRginia International Raceway, Alton, VA
Where to Watch: Live on MotoAmerica Live+ 
Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks

Superbike and Supersport riders roll into Alton this weekend for the sixth round of the season. The markets suggest that Josh Herrin is poised for glory in the Superbike class, but our focus lies in the value-for-money Supersport class. Blake Davis lines up as a surprising long shot, despite taking the checkered flag three times in his ultimate five MotoAmerica appearances. His finishing average in that period sits at 2.00, the best on the grid.

Key Times (EDT):

Saturday, August 2 (Race Schedule):
Supersport: 2:10 p.m.
Superbike: 3:10 p.m.

Sunday, August 3 (Race Schedule):
Supersport: 2:10 p.m.
Superbike: 3:10 p.m.

Expert Pick

Mathew Scholtz and Blake Davis have gone toe-to-toe in their last five meetings, with the latter coming off on top. Davis boasts a better finishing average than Scholtz and offers incredible value at +1379, with a potential return of $138.60 on a $20 wager.

PFL World Tournament Finals: Jean vs. Storley

When: Friday, August 1, 2025
Where: Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, NJ
Where to Watch: Live on ESPN+
Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks

The knockout rounds have come and gone, and now we are only left with the two best fighters in each class. First up, it’s the welterweight and featherweight finals. Jesus Pinedo starts as the favorite for the featherweight crown in the co-main event, but all eyes are on the welterweights. Haitian Thad Jean touches down in Atlantic City as the favorite for a mega payday, having never tasted defeat, but he’s up against Logan Storley, who will have the support of the home crowd.

Key Times (EDT):

Fights Start: 6:00 p.m.

Expert Pick

Thad Jean has seriously impressed this year with his power, speed, and stamina. He’s up against an expert wrestler in Logan Storley, but we think the Haitian has enough in the tank to claim the crown. His odds are short at -225, but his price is valid and still offers a potential payday of $28.89.

BKFC 79 Sturgis: Gogo vs. Lane

When: Saturday, August 2, 2025
Where: Sturgis Buffalo Chip. Sturgis, SD
Where to Watch: Live on BKFC
Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks

BKFC returns to Sturgis after debuting at The Buffalo Chip in 2024. One Championship fight is on the card, and we are thrilled to see the return of Gorjan Slaveski to the squared circle for the first time in two years. The Macedonian enters unbeaten in six brawls and holds a mere inch reach advantage over his experienced opponent, who has only won 50% of his 16 battles.

Key Times (MDT):

Fights Start: 6:30 p.m.

Expert Pick

Gorjan Slaveski carries short odds for BKFC 79, but his record highlights his superiority over Julian Lane. The Macedonian enters the Welterweight Championship at -227, which offers a possible payout of $28.81 when you bet $20.

WSL Challenge Series: US Open of Surfing

When: July 11 – July 20, 2025
Where: Jeffreys Bay, Eastern Cape, South Africa
Where to Watch: Live on World Surf League
Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks

The US Open of Surfing is in full swing in Orange County, and it’s a star-studded lineup for a Challenger Series event. Brisa Hennesey, Sally Fitzgibbons, and Sawyer Lindblad line up in the women’s bracket, and Alan Cleland joins Kanoa Igarashi in the men’s. The latter is the hometown hero and is only competing in this event because it’s on familiar waves, in front of his friends and family. The Japanese-American surfer starts after two runner-up performances on the Championship Tour this year.

Key Times (PDT):

Next Call:
Saturday, August 2: 7:00 a.m.

Expert Pick

Kanoa Igarashi comes home this week to entertain his people at Huntington Beach. Despite sitting third on the Championship Tour, he makes an appearance in the Challenger Series and is the man to beat. His odds are favorable at +811, offering a potential return of $182.20 for a $20 stake.

World of Outlaws Late Models: USA Nationals

When: July 31 – August 2, 2025
Where: Cedar Lake Speedway, New Richmond
Where to Watch: Live on DIRTVision
Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks

It’s the richest weekend on the late model calendar as the series lines up at Cedar Lake Speedway for three days. Bobby Pierce arrives as the series leader and defending champion in New Richmond and starts with the shortest odds on the grid. Pierce is a seven-time victor in 2025, making him the winningest driver on the track, averaging 4.96 across all starts this year.

Key Times – Daily (CDT)

Hot Laps: 6:30 p.m. (Racing to follow)

Expert Pick

Defending USA Nationals Champion and series leader, Bobby Pierce, is an easy expert pick to produce the goods on Saturday. He’s accumulated 16 podiums this season at a 59.26% success rate across all races. His odds are short at +170 coming into Cedar Lake Speedway, but the potential of a decent payday is still on the cards if you wager $20. The possible return totals $54.00.

World of Outlaws Sprint Cars: Ironman 55

When: August 1 – August 2, 2025
Where: I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park, Pevely, MO
Where to Watch: Live on DIRTVision
Where to Bet: With our Partnered Sportsbooks

A $25,000 payday is at stake when the World of Outlaws sprint cars converge on Pevely, Missouri. Two nights of racing lie ahead on Friday and Saturday, and David Gravel arrives as the driver to beat. He’s entered Victory Lane 11 times this season, to hold the honor of the winningest navigator, and build a 182-point lead in the series. Gravel arrives fresh off a triumph last Sunday night at Weedsport.

Key Times – Daily (CDT)

Pits Open: 2:00 p.m.
Gates Open: 5:00 p.m.
Hot Laps: 6:30 p.m. (Racing to follow)

Expert Pick

Our expert pick for the Ironman 55 is the easiest one we’ll make all week. David Gravel wins the race, averaging 3.6 in his past five outings, producing a victory, a runner-up, and only one result outside of the top five. Gravel enters at +149, potentially paying out $49.80 when you bet $20.
