Cooper's Sports Pick

Biggest win this year: A ten unit play on Gonzaga covering against Michigan State in college hoops. I crunched the numbers and jumped on it after public pushed the line two and a half points for MSU. I rarely invest in multi-unit plays that early in the season but the movement was enough for me to remain confident. I was pleased I could deliver on a big play for my clients so early.

Handicapping Philosophy: I follow trends and plug them into a detailed tier-system that takes everything into account: number of days rest, officiating over/under trends, teams traveling through different time zones, anything and everything is part of the system. It produces a star system, the five star picks suggest larger number of units worth risking while a 3.5 or 4 star pick encourages a more conservative number. This philosophy has yet to fail my clients who consistently follow our tiered system of wagering. It’s all about building units and my clients have proven to be disciplined, profitable cappers.

Biggest win this year: Going 7-1 in over/unders week four of the NFL. I’ve had several big wins this year but I really try to focus on the big picture, which is the season’s final +/-. Sometimes bettors get too wrapped up in a mega unit play and let the outcome cloud their unit distribution and money management. I try to stay disciplined and never put all my eggs in one basket.

Handicapping Philosophy: I’m not a huge system guy but I work tirelessly to cover every angle: referees, weather conditions, last minute injury reports. I sincerely believe this is no different from any other profession in that it takes hard work to get results. I’m proud to say I’ve been able to deliver winning seasons to my clients every year with this philosophy.

Biggest win this year: I went on a 13-2 moneyline run in hockey the second week of November, including five underdog moneyline winners. Sometimes it’s hard to find value in moneyline wagers but I’ve perfected a system of mixing in strong favorites with occasional dogs. It’s done wonders for my clients this season thus far.

Sports Handicapping Philosophy: I consider myself more a situational handicapper. I go against the grain often if I find value in line movement with a heavy underdog I believe can win the game outright. My biggest thing is try to eliminate the guesswork involved in betting for my clients. I think casual bettors often bet based on a “gut” feeling or the advice of an impartial friend and I want my clients to get away from this blind mentality and follow a system that uses actual trends and real-time sources.

Handicapping Philosophy: After spending my childhood sneaking into the Aqueduct in New York picking horses has come natural that it’s in my blood and its one thing I know inside and out. There are hundreds of different angles to take when looking for winning daily racing picks but one key method I use is leverage against the other bettors and as the thoroughbreds start to line up at the gate I look for discrepancies that give us the largest overall advantage. There are thousands of different ways to be a successful when it comes to betting on horses and thus I stick with my proven system.

Growing up in Brazil and being a trained fighter gives me an exceptional advantage over the average sports bettor because I study and watch all of the fights, know a lot of the trainers, and have a keen sense that comes from years of fighting and training with the best in Brazil which helps me to accurately predict the outcome of a fight card.
