Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title:
 * Sports Betting
 * Article Evaluation:
 * This article gives the most and best broad overview of the subject as a whole. There are a large amount of subtopics present that are present to support the main topic of sports betting. Some of these subtopics include: odds, legality, the professional sports leagues that are used for gambling, and international sports betting. Relating to the topic of sports betting itself this article's information is spot on relevant and is written in a neutral manner. As far as the facts and information go with this article they are clear and concise, however some of these claims do not have citations after them. The majority of the sources being used are credible as they are from professionals and even from well known league GM owners. In addition this article as well as the rest listed below do not target Wikipedia's equity gap.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Sports-related curses
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article was slightly different than the first one. It wasn't as lengthy however, it did contain a lot of information regarding the superstition of sports betting and curses associated with specific teams and players. The information presented within this article is relevant to the topic as a whole, however it focuses on a sub-topic of sports betting so some of the information is irrelevant. For the information presented in the article it does have full listed and complete citations, but this article does not have full neutrality. There are many beliefs and opinions stated within this article that tend to sway one direction over the other which is a little bit concerning.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Sports betting systems
 * Article Evaluation
 * In comparison to the first two this article was by far the shortest. It contains a very small amount of information and facts regarding the sub-topic of sports betting systems and how they are favored over standard pick player betting. Since sports betting systems organize what they feel would favor the odds of winning the highest there isn't a whole lot of neutrality represented within the subject or even the article for that matter. Due to its short and minimal effort length, the article is missing citations after each claim and presentation of information. As far as credibility goes, this article leads to different references which overall are trustworthy and from different places.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Over - under
 * Article Evaluation
 * Unlike the other articles this one dives into the sub-topic of a gambling term called "over - under". This term is specifically used in card games such as poker, or blackjack, but it is also used in sports betting when a person bets on a player's stats for a specific day. This article is the smallest out of the 4 so far that I've gone through, but it includes the proper citations with linked resources to credible cites after each claim. It does contain neutrality as it is used only to inform the audience of the term itself, and it gives an example to the audience of how the term is applied to betting scenarios in games such as dice.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * FanDuel
 * Article Evaluation
 * This final article talks about FanDuel, one of the most popular sports betting apps out there today in the world. Just like the previous article on "over-under" this article is only used to inform its audience about the facts, partnerships, and solid history of the app itself. As far as the credibility of the linked resources it's connected with I would say that most of these cites are credible. ESPN, Wall Street Journal, and DraftKings are resources that are used within this article to obtain information from. After each individual claim and statement of information there was a citation added to it which is good.
