Ricky Tran

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.
