Generally, there are two types of handicappers in this business: The first are great salesmen who excel at separating you from the money. The other is the fly-by-night handicappers who are in the industry solely for short term gains. Those types of operations couldn’t care less about picking winners for their customers. Hot Picks prides itself on being neither and is primed to be one of the premier sports handicapping websites. Longevity, winning, the best customer service, and intuitive user interface are the pillars that set us apart from others in the industry. With more than two decades of sports handicapping experience, Hot Picks utilizes proprietary data, exclusive up to the minute information and state of the art analytics to provide winning picks for our customers. We utilize effective money-management techniques that instructs our customers when to pause and when to press and go for the jugular with big plays – especially when you are playing with your bookmaker’s money. In short, Hot Picks knows how to make our clients money by winning consistently over time and are confident you will be exceedingly satisfied with our long-term results.
OUR RATINGS SYSTEM
Hot Picks believe sports and sports handicapping should be both fun and entertaining. Instead of typical “star” ratings that other services tout, we use bra cup sizes (“A” cups to “DD” cups) to rate our plays. Our average play would be considered a “C” cup. Although we always try to teach our clients discipline with their betting strategies and bankroll, we understand most clients want to see action almost every day. If we do not feel, however, that a particular game is worthy of an average “C” cup rating, we will assign it an “A” cup or “B” cup. We do not include “A” or “B” cup game results in our win/loss records and statistics. Don’t get us wrong, we love cups of all sizes but feel that clients are only excited to hear about our scores with “C” cups…..or bigger! ?
WIN/LOSS vs. NET PROFIT
We also want to address winning percentages. Let’s say I ask you to bet $500 on a game as well as two $200 plays on an NFL Sunday. If I win the $500 play and go 0-2 with the $200 plays, my overall record is a dismal 1-2 but my net profit is still $60 ($500 – $220 – $220). Conversely, let’s say I lose the $500 play and go 2-0 with the other plays. My overall record is an impressive 2-1, but my net profit is a negative $150 (-$550 + 200 + 200).
Which would you prefer, the losing record and winning money, or the winning record and losing money?
Believe what you want, but what we are sharing is fact: winning percentage isn’t everything in this business as the above illustration will prove time and time again. Of course, crafty salesmen masquerading as handicappers will twist the numbers/results in the manner that is best suited for them. Part of our job at Hot Picks is to educate our clients about TRUTH in this sports handicapping business – whether you become our long-term customer or not. No one (and we mean NO ONE) wins every day in this business and anyone who claims to, is simply not being honest. Hot Picks will go on streaks just like the players and teams we analyze daily. The key and the most critical factor for us is that we expect to turn a net profit for our clients. If you want honesty and hardworking handicappers give HOT PICKS a chance.
We give our clients Hot Picks and Hot Chicks……it’s what we do best!
