9 years as a Professional Sports Handicapper Joined a Sports Handicapping Syndicate at the age of 25 which was responsible for a mult-million dollar portfolio Was once cut off from making wagers at an off shore sportsbook after a successful streak - then contracted by the same sports book to serve as a sports betting consultant Expert Sports Predictions for MLB, NFL, NCAAF, NBA & NCAAB, NHL

Sports betting gives you a 50/50 chance of winning each wager - very similar to flipping a coin. This is essentially what the average square will do, flip a coin. However, if you were to narrow down your focus to only few games on the board which you have deducted a mathematical edge then you have increased your chances of winning by 20 to 30%. This is the value I bring to my clients on a daily basis with my sports handicapping expertise. There are many ways to breakdown a particular matchup and come to a conclusion on a pick. Some handicappers prefer statistical analysis, regression analysis, team stats, team trends etc. I like to incorporate any system or stat that can provide an edge or provide insight to allow me to reach a conclusion. It's a more methodical approach but I feel that my success has come from uncovering the details. I have seen a lot of handicappers run into problems when they commit to a single approach to handicapping or follow trends too closely. Trends are just a piece of the puzzle but in certain sports, such as college, there is a high turn over rate of players each year. How a team performed in 2014 may not correlate with the 2015 team and a new crop of players that are mostly underclassman with no experience. You must be able to determine which piece of information is relative to that particular game.

I understand that in order to be successful in any venture you must surround yourself with people that are smarter than you. With over 9 years as a professional sports handicapper I have been surrounded by some of the best the industry has to offer and this is the value that I provide for my clients. Whether you are a novice bettor vacationing in vegas or a whale that only gets excited from a six figure payout, my services will be an asset to your investment.

Currently residing in Boston, MA, I've been successfully breaking down the hardwood odds for more than 20 years. Successfully beating the basketball odds requires pinpointed accuracy that only comes from handicapping one exclusive sport. Basketball is my specialty and I handicap no other sports and I have the records to validate my hoops resume. My unique ability to spot loose basketball lines comes from my passion for both NBA and NCAA basketball. I immerse myself in basketball and have a passion for the game that enables me to spot the loose lines as soon as the odds are released. Follow my hardwood picks this season for a new experience betting in both NBA and NCAA basketball. If you want hardwood winners then I've got you covered this season.

Sal Limonti adheres to a very strict routine that enables him to maximize the potential of each betting day. In 2015, Sal went 179-135-20 (57%) in NBA and a 136-95 (59%) record against the spread in college basketball. "When you are submerged in sports on a daily basis, it's easy to find yourself caught up in the trends, analysis and stats like most of the general public. My success has come from using the human psychology element and creating a better understanding or feel for each team I handicap. It's my job to know exactly what is going on with the teams and players of each sport I handicap to provide a more well rounded understanding of how the odds play into the daily matchups". - Sal Limonti

It didn't take long for Brendon to amass a following in and around Las Vegas for his MLB, college basketball and grid-iron picks. Brendon is a welcomed new member of Betsheet.com. While everybody else is chasing the marquee match-ups, he tends to always uncover hidden gems in the lower market matchups.

It's often been said that he is a cut above the rest and his records prove it. Experience it first hand with his intuitive insight and daily winners! System used in handicapping: He has developed his own form of fundamental handicapping. As far as he is concerned, it all starts with an in depth understanding of the coaches, personnel and matchups played on the field/court. Next, he considers situational and technical factors. Brendon's approach is a little different with professional sports than it is with collegiate ones. However, in all sports, obtaining optimal line value is always emphasized.

Looking back on my life growing up in Chicago, there isn't much I would change. While I didn't have a normal childhood it has made me who I am today. I was introduced to cards and gambling at a very early age when I would bust in on my uncles card games. We would hide behind stacks of books in his basement while he and his friends would spend hours throwing their hard earned money away. When I became old enough to show my face they would make me a "fetch" boy. I later found out I was running numbers to the local bookie. As time passed I realized the value of good information. Present day, I pay more for information that most of my clients bet. Last two years I've been documented at an overall 61%. I will release selections from MLB, NFL, NBA to College Basketball and do so at a successful clip. I look forward to working with you in the future!

I'm a firm believer that any professional sports bettor that makes a living from betting sports does not use just one system, or any for that matter.

Sports handicapping and sports betting has been my life for over 25 years. I have been gambling over half of my life and I know there is no substitute for experience and patience when you gamble on sports. The biggest mistake I made when I initially started betting on sports was to not consult an advisor which is what lead me to work hard and gain the experience I need to advise my clients. You must approach sports betting methodically and never let your emotions get involved. Trust your research, trust your experience and trust the numbers.

David Lagos also known as "QuickSilver", a name given to him by Anthony Moretti for his flashy style and complete disregard for the cost of a good time. David Lagos is the son of an insurance salesman from sunny Arizona. David was taught the importance of persuasion through verbal communication from his father’s experience peddling insurance. David found this tool very valuable and was no stranger to the females from an early age. With over 300 days of sunshine per year in Arizona, David was lucky to focus much of his childhood playing baseball and football or any activity that allowed him to soak up the sunshine. Growing up in a household of Arizona Wildcats fans, David envied how athletes were treated and how they were placed on a high pedestal. David’s entire childhood was surrounded by sports and he wanted nothing more than to become a successful athlete.

Upon graduating high school, David accepted an offer to play football for a Division I school in the south. While David was an excellent quarterback in his own right he was more notorious for his desire to party. David was a highly touted football player with a thirst for the good life. David admits that more time was spent on the late night scene rather than on the football field. David ultimately became known as the go to man for any campus celebrations and with this level of fame followed the women. While David never actually fulfilled his dream of becoming a famous athlete, he left the South with a degree in Business Administration and four job offers before he was even awarded his diploma. David’s charismatic and charming personality won him over with many crowds and allowed him the opportunity enter the sports management field. David’s focus and career goal shifted to becoming a sports agent. David’s hard work and determination was not paying off quick enough and he soon began making weekend trips to Las Vegas to place bets on football, basketball and even baseball to help supplement his income and experience the night life in Vegas. It was during a trip to Las Vegas where David was introduced to the art of sports handicapping.

David soon picked up on the amount of money tourists and gamblers alike were losing to the books. David’s competitive nature kicked in and his focus began to shift more towards helping himself and others beat the books. After years of networking, researching and satisfying clients all over the globe, Cashin Tickets is proud to enlist the services of David Lagos, AKA "The Player". David’s desire for flash and cash is what drives him the most and there is no better place in the world to make money than in Las Vegas. A man with such a lifestyle was a born winner.
