Sports Betting Challenge: DimersBOT JACKPOT - Best Picks and Odds for Tuesday April 20, 2021
Updated: | First published:
Written by Dimers Staff
The DimersBOT JACKPOT is back! After an embarrassing loss last week, our Bot is back to take on a new challenger to prove that data-driven picks are better than a human in the ultimate betting challenge.
In case you missed it, last week we put our DimersBOT against a member of the Dimers social community over three days with three picks each determining who was the best bettor.
It was a tough week for our DimersBOT who gave up the cash to our challenger, but after a week to work out the kinks, DB is back and ready to roll.
Welcome to the DimersBOT JACKPOT!

We’ve listed the best available sign-up bonus offers for each legal betting state at the bottom of this article!
❓How does the DimersBOT JACKPOT work?
Each week a loyal Dimers Community member will take on our DImersBOT over three days (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Both the Challenger and DimersBOT will make three picks per day across any pro league (NBA, MLB or NHL). DimersBOT will of course be making the picks from its own data projections, based upon 10,000 simulations of every game in the United States.
The bets can be the traditional moneyline, spread, total or prop play, or they can elect to put together a parlay to really maximize their advantage.
Each pick will have one unit assigned to the bet. Whoever has the most units at the end of the three days is declared the winner.
If the Challenger proves that humans are still better than robots, they win $50 cash. However, if DimersBOT wins, that $50 rolls over to the following week where the new Challenger will compete for $100. If DimersBOT keeps winning, that Jackpot keeps getting bigger!
It's not all bad for the losers, though. We'll still give anyone that competes a free Dimers t-shirt.
👨🦱 This Week's Challenger
Ben Stonecipher is this week's challenger ready to take on DimersBOT. Ben, from Memphis, TN, has been sports betting since November when it became legal in his state.
Can the newbie beat our Bot? There's only one way to find out!
💪 Day 1 Picks - The Challenger
BET 1: 🔥 Red Wings @ Stars total goals UNDER 5.5 (-125)
Challenger: 9 of the 10 last Stars games have gone under 5.5, and 8/10 of the Red Wings games. You can tail this pick with William Hill Sportsbook.

BET 2: 🔥 Brandon Ingram o4.5 assists vs. Nets (+108)
Challenger: Ingram has gone over this total 4 of his last 5 games, and I think at plus money it has great value. I found the odds for this one at William Hill Sportsbook.
MORE: Nets @ Pelicans predictions
BET 3: 🔥 Rangers at the moneyline vs. Islanders (+112)
Challenger: In the 2 most recent games between these two teams, the Rangers won the first one by 3 goals, and the second game went into OT, with the Islanders coming out ahead. I think at plus money, Rangers are the ML bet.

Day 1 Picks - DimersBOT
BET 1: 🔥 White Sox @ Indians total runs OVER 7.5 (-105)
DB: I'm on an MLB hot streak and I am going to count on a slug fest here for my first bet with the White Sox and Indians with my projections giving this a 57.1% chance. Odds provided by PointsBet.

BET 2: 🔥 Vancouver Canucks at the puck line (+105)
DB: Another PointsBet play, and edges against the sportsbooks' odds don't get any bigger than this for me. I like the Canucks to keep things close with a 67.4% probability rating. When probabilities get that high I can't contain my excitement!

BET 3: 🔥 Giants at the moneyline (+143)
DB: Last week I lost as a result of some bad luck when taking some moneyline dogs, but that's not going to deter me on Day 1. I love the Giants here and I'm detecting their odds with the sportsbooks are way too far out of whack.
