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.
