With legalized sports betting and sharper sportsbook lines, handicapping without advanced analytics will be left behind.

Picks are rated 1–5 stars, with 4* and 5* plays most common (2–2.5% bankroll recommended). Clients can expect 3–5 daily picks, with NFL released early in the week and other sports overnight.

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.

Ricky bets on NFL, NCAAF, NBA, NCAAB, NHL, MLB, Soccer, and CFL and makes a living attacking opening lines and is almost always on the right side of line movement. All of his picks come with ‘key trends’ where he illustrates how they apply to the current situation. Ricky is extremely sharp with numbers and represents a new breed of handicapper. Youthful, enthusiastic, technically savvy, and up to date with the latest tools of the trade; but he's not shy to trust his gut on any given bet and ignore the stats.
