Today's Hottest Plays

Ralph Michaels has a math mind, steadily searching for a value in the numbers in addition to matchup edges, situational advantages, and hidden gems of information. Ralph finds more big bets in the college versions of football and basketball, but his handicapping approach also uncovers selective winners in the professional leagues. Small conferences are particularly profitable due to mispriced injuries and his profiling of exploitable coaching tendencies.  

Magic Mike Moneymaker's experience as a professional poker player has proven to be an immeasurable asset in sports handicapping.

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.
