Google’s New “Preferred Sources” Can Put SportsBettingDime at the Top of Your News — Here’s How to Add Us in 60 Seconds 

Google now lets you prioritize your favorite outlets in the Top Stories box. Add SportsBettingDime today to see our odds moves, injury news, and betting angles frontandcenter when you search big games and breaking sports stories. 

One thing to note is that this feature is only available in the US and India at the moment. So, any users seeing this outside of those two countries will unfortunately not be able to follow through on this yet.

What Is “Preferred Sources” — and Why Bettors Should Care 

Google has launched Preferred Sources, a simple way to tell Search which publishers you want to see more often in the Top Stories carousel (and sometimes in a dedicated “From your sources” section). Once set, your selections appear more prominently when those outlets have fresh, relevant coverage of what you just searched. It’s currently rolling out in the U.S. and India. 

For sports bettors, that means when you search things like “Chiefs vs Chargers odds”, “US Open odds movement”, or “NFL Week 1 picks”, Google can show more of SportsBettingDime’s timely analysis up top—so you spot the news that can move lines before the market fully adjusts. You’ll still see other sites; this just gives your trusted sources the pole position. 

Add SportsBettingDime as a Preferred Source (2 Easy Options) 

Option A: Oneclick Settings Shortcut (fastest) 

1. Open this link: google.com/preferences/source?q=sportsbettingdime.com.
2. Check the box next to SportsBettingDime.

You’re done. This takes you straight to Google’s Preferred Sources picker without needing a specific news search first. 

Option B: Add Us from Any Top Stories Result 

1. Search a news-oriented topic on Google (e.g., “Week 1 NFL lines” or “MLB playoff race news”). 

2. In the Top Stories module, click the icon to the right (two overlapping cards with a small star). 

3. Type “sportsbettingdime.com” and check the box. 

4. Click Reload results to apply. 
   These steps mirror Google’s own instructions and leading tech guides. 

Tip: If you’re signed in to your Google account, your Preferred Sources will carry across browsers you use while signed in. 

What You’ll See After You Add SBD 

• More SBD stories in Top Stories when we’ve published fresh, relevant updates on what you searched, such as injuries, odds shifts, line movement, and matchup intel tied to your query. 

• Sometimes a “From your sources” section where our latest appears together. 

• No lockin you can add multiple outlets (Google notes most early users selected 4+ sources) and manage them anytime. 

Why Add SportsBettingDime? 

Because speed and signal matter. When news breaks—a QB goes limited in practice, a closer feels tightness in warmups, or a star forward is a surprise scratch—reaction windows can be minutes. Adding SBD as a Preferred Source helps surface our realtime news and betting context where you already look first: Google’s Top Stories. And the feature doesn’t crowd out other coverage—you simply see more of what you trust alongside the rest.
