We have a lot of services that offer their picks on our site.  Some guys are good at everything, some are great at one sport, and some are great with their top plays and mediocre on the rest.  Every gambler is looking for something different, but I want to make sure you get matched up with the service that is right for you.

1.  Do You Want Analysis?

I provide detailed write-ups for every single one of my selections.  I want the bettor to know why I like a certain play so they can get down on it with total confidence that we are on the right side.  I am trying to educate my customers as well, trying to teach them to be a better handicapper.  

You have to go to the individual handicappers page and monitor the yesterday’s plays section.  Here you can make sure that the service you are considering provides analysis and he gives the kind of advice you are looking for.

2.  Are You Looking Long Term?

If you are trying to make money over the long haul then you simply have to see how a handicapper has done over the longer period of time you can.  For this I use the top trends section.  It details how much the top handicappers are ahead going over several seasons.  

I normally recommend clients sign up for a couple of different options per sport.  See who the experts are in the sports you plan on betting and sign up for season long subscriptions from them.  Season subscriptions are going to be your best value because they are cheaper, and give you just the picks you want from that handicapper.

3.  Release Times

Do you need your plays by a certain time?  We are working on putting this metric onto the handicapper pages, but for now you can check to see what time their packages are posted, or shoot our customer service team an email and we will check their last few releases to see what time the handicapper released his picks.

4.  Do You Just Want Help on a Big Game?

If you just want help on a single game, go to our schedule section.  There you can find the game you are interested in and view all of the free and premium pick offerings on that game.  Once you see the list of handicappers with a pick on that game, check the leaderboards and top trends to find out which one is the best.  If you want to impress your friends with your insights, make sure that handicapper provides detailed write-ups on why he likes the game.
