Mike Devine |
Mike Devine has been handicapping for over a decade and founded Mike Devine Sports four years ago. Since founding Mike Devine Sports, he has been at the top of the National Sports Monitor in football, basketball and baseball. Mike is a strong situational handicapper who relies on his own power ratings to uncover great value in all betting situations.
He evaluates teams much like stocks trying to uncover value and lines maker’s mistakes in price to give bettors the best opportunity for success. The lines have gotten tighter over the years, as most of you know, and it takes more diligence and hard work than ever before to win consistently. Mike researches teams from every angle looking for optimum opportunities to play on them or against them. He constantly readjusts power ratings to accurately portray how a team is playing at that time often finding errors in the lines maker’s numbers. Just as important as numbers are any psychological or situational edges that teams may have in any given match up. Mike uses all his resources to uncover these edges.
Mike has been #1 at the National Sports Monitor in College Football (2004), College Basketball (2006, 2007) and Major League Baseball (2006) and in the top 5 multiple times. He was #3 in the NFL (2006-2007) hitting at a 59% rate. With Mike, you have a proven winner who will work hard to give you the best chance to win.

The Prodigy |
I believe in focus before diversifying. I have learned this from years in the stock market and real estate industry, and have helped many make money in the investment industry for the last 11 years. In the beginning, I had the opportunity to spend time learning from some of the best financial minds of the world through a round table of respected icons. After years of being successful in sports analyzing for private clients as a primary hobby, I decided to turn what I have learned in the financial and investment world, into the sports investment public world and help as many people as I can make money by investing in their favorite interest, sports. I have a formula that has been working for years for my private clients, and now it is available to you. I believe in focusing on specific details in specific games that have unique information not known to the general public. Our information is not based on stats, trends, averages, or talent alone. However, we combine that with the psychological aspects of the situations involved. These situations are not known to anyone who does not have access to uncommon information. I am the Prodigy, and I bring this unique formula that has worked for so many years for some of the most respected people in the industry, right to you.

John Ryan |
John Ryan has been handicapping baseball, football, and basketball for over fourteen years. He has won several National contests and has placed in top-5's in countless others. By way of example of his fantastic results he has produced a 27-6 ATS record in his top rated 5* College Football plays right here at Vegas Experts. Many of these plays have been dogs that not only won ATS, but were huge headline making upsets too.
John's philosophy is based on the long-term, and he has found that over time consistency is what promotes success. The key to utilizing our computer generated algorithms, information and selections are to consistently investing the same amount on each selection. This process will ensure that our bankroll and our clients will maximize their investment return. Moreover, the entire methodology eliminates the human emotion from all selection processes.
Our computer systems are based on genetic algorithms and an adaptive-structure Neural Network. In summary, our systems calculate and analyze several hundred thousand pieces of data in combination with one another for each game played. The systems also optimize our combination of rules and utilize "team momentum" much like one would do in the technical analysis of a stock or soybean prices. Much like the commodities markets we have applied a "contrarian view" as one of the rules. For example, if a given trend in any sport is posting a 15-2 ATS, then the model will immediately make note that this trend has matured and that a reversal of this trend is likely. If the computer selects the team that does not support this given trend, the 15-2 trend will actually be supportive of the selection.
The relative and key differences in opponents are then presented in the selection write-up. The write-up will state why we have selected a given team and will outline the various statistics and trends supporting that selection. We believe that our information is unique and informative and hopefully as profitable as the previous years have been. The key is giving us an honest try and staying with the methodology. Thank you again for your support and good luck.

Erik Scheponik |
Hello Sports Bettors! My name is Erik Scheponik, and I would like to introduce you to Elite Sports Information, now entering its fifth season of providing winning sports information to people just like you! The plays my clients receive are the same plays that I myself play, and although having connections in both Vegas and the Caribbean helps, the long hours of number-crunching and handicapping are the lifeblood of my service, Elite Sports Information. I have been analyzing and betting sports for nearly 15 years, and believe me, there is no easy way to winning money in this industry...You simply have to put in the work.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from a very good private school, Westminster College, in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. However, all through the years of my schooling this is what where my heart and focus was, and I became very good at it. I would be doing what I do all day and night without Elite Sports Information, making the majority of my living off of sports wagering. My results are fully documented by Sports Watch (4 seasons) and the Sports Monitor (2006- 2007 football), and I am living and dying with the plays just as my customers are. In its brief history, ESI already has multiple Sports Watch top 5 finishes including: Top 5 in the Nation in NBA in both 2005, 2006, and 2008 including #2 in net units won in 2005, #2 in NBA Playoff winning %, #1 in net units won in 2007 NBA postseason; #3 in NFL net units won, #2 in winning % in 2005, #1 (undefeated) in NFL Playoffs in 2006 winning % (both Sports Watch and Sports Monitor), #2 in net units won; and three straight top 5 finishes ('06-'08) in College Basketball winning % and net units won for both 2006 and 2007. In fact, during the 2005-2006 sports season, Elite Sports Info was the only service to rank in the Sports Watch top 5 in all 4 major sports, (NCAA and NFL football, NCAA and NBA basketball)! That's a feat I am extremely proud of. This past season ESI added top 5 finishes in CFB Bowl Action, NBA regular season and NBA playoffs. In summary, that's a lot of top 5 finishes such a young service. I also do free lance writing on various internet sites, as well and have also done "ghost-writing" (selections and writing under another name) for one of the more established services around. Finally, I contribute to Kevin O'Neill's football newsletter, The Max, one of the finest football publications you will find.
There will be plenty of ups and downs in this business, so that is why ESI stresses selectivity, discipline, and realistic goals to clients and potential clients. With an eye towards long-term capital appreciation, ESI is your "best bet" for first rate sports information and analysis."

Charlie Scott |
Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Charlie was introduced to football betting by playing parlay cards or what they called tickets at the age of 13. In 1981, Charlie was off to Las Vegas to enroll at UNLV- not exactly the Ivy league, but a great place to learn about the Sports Betting world. During these years Charlie worked for various Sports Services, and private Professional Sports Bettors and made his own wagers.
After working for a few years on the other side of the counter, Charlie decided that he was finished chasing degenerate gamblers and friends all over town for money. So in 1998 Charlie put all of his energy and time back into sports handicapping and picking winners, his first love. Charlie started his own website, www.charliescottsports.com in 2006, and has won numerous handicapping titles documented at www.sports-watch.com and www.lasvegassportsmonitor.com specializing in the NFL, NCAA Football and Basketball, with an emphasis on Totals. From August through May of every year, Charlie's focus is strictly on handicapping ( I don't have a life ) and this, combined with hard work and luck, has allowed me to live a pretty comfortable lifestyle.
