Why Bet Predictem’s Picks?
When you shower before work, we’re reading yesterday’s box scores. When you’re commuting to your job, we’re mulling through statistics. When you’re working, we’re analyzing every single game on the day’s card, looking for edges. When you’re eating your lunch, we’re reading injury reports, when you work the second half of your workday, we’re analyzing line moves, reading player news, researching how the money is coming in on each game, mulling through local news in each city and discussing our takes with other astute handicappers. We grind through stats, betting trends, injury news and are constantly assessing weather reports. In summary, we’re in tune with the constant evolution that is the sports betting industry, on a full-time basis. We’re constantly searching for knowledge to give us the edge needed to beat 52.38%, which is the break-even point when betting point spreads at -110 odds.(You can knock that down to 51.19% if you take advantage of the -105 reduced juice offering at BetAnySports). You simply don’t have the time to study enough to have a real chance of winning at sports betting, which is why 97% don’t win long term. We quit our day jobs in 2001. We’ve been in the game for even longer. We’re the REAL DEAL.
