Today's Hottest Plays

Stephen Nover is a veteran Las Vegas handicapper and award-winning sportswriter with nearly 50 years of experience. A former professor at UNLV, he taught football handicapping and co-hosted the famed "Stardust Line" radio show in the ’90s. Nover has authored three books, including Winning Fantasy Football, and worked with legendary oddsmakers like Roxy Roxborough. Drawing on elite Rotisserie league knowledge, extensive gambling and media sources, and mentorship from icons such as Dave Malinsky and Lem Banker, Nover is known for his sharp, deeply researched, and original betting analysis.

Sean Higgs is a PICKS and PARLAYS Orignal Member (2008). On sites since 2006, Higgs has been beating the books since the early '90s, long before "analytics" was a buzzword and long before most of today's handicappers ever set a betting line. While stats, trends, and angles are useful, knowing how to apply them is key—that's Sean’s specialty. The results speak for themselves. 11 #1 monitored titles and 38 Top 10 finishes across multiple sports since 2015. That's not luck. That's three decades of pattern recognition, discipline, and knowing exactly when the numbers matter and when they don't. You don't need to become a professional handicapper. You just need to follow one.

Who is Jesse Schule? He's no soothsayer and he doesn't have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it is actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly's Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years.

Handicapping became my way to keep competing and turn pro. For over a decade, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering the art and science of sports betting, building a trusted brand, sharing insights on major platforms, and collaborating with industry leaders.
