Top 10 Sports Handicappers

My professional training and experience comes from the financial world working with several online investment firms. A little over 8 years ago I began experimenting with online sports handicapping developing my own program to track results. This was exclusively for my benefit until I realized and understood the market for sports investors. I am thankful to have been given this opportunity with Documented Handicappers and I look forward to helping you gain from your sports investments.

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.

Mikhail Lebel has overcome many obstacles in his life and was fortunate to have moved to the United States when he was 11 years old. Mikhail was introduced to sports early in his childhood by neighborhood friends and class mates. From tennis to hockey, Mikhail was fond of the traditional Russian sports he grew up around. When Mikhail moved to the United States he became infatuated with baseball, football and basketball. While he was aware of these sports in Russia, his interest grew when he became educated on them in the US. Mikhail informed us his name translates to "Who is God" in the Russian culture and by monitoring his picks for the past year, it's evident he is superior. Mikhail has admitted his father played a very little role in passion for sports but as he looks back his father played an enormous role in terms of gambling knowledge. "Of course I'm excited for this opportunity as I would have never thought in a thousand years I would be at this stage. I over came a lot in my youth and I think my strong work ethic and desire to succeed drives me to help others succeed".

With a background in economics and MBA in Marketing, I have had many career paths in my life but none as excited as working with Sports Investor Central. I will bring a hard work ethic to my clients and will always be searching for an advantage. While sports handicapping was once an extension of my life, these days it has become my primary focus. I relish the opportunity to provide members of SIC with a dedicated approach that will bring value to the customer.

My days of inhaling cigar smoke and stuffing my pockets with bet sheets while wasting my days away in sportsbooks are long gone. The internet wave has changed sports betting in many ways and has helped those who take advantage of the vast amount of resources at their fingertips. I was blessed to have earned a full business scholarship and graduated with honors when I was 21. My personality did not fit well into the pencil pusher cubicle type so I provided an opportunity for myself to explore the web's infinite amount of resources and bring my numbers game to the sports handicapping world. I am motivated by money and a small vendetta against the sportsbooks that got the best of me at an early age. I look to bring my success and knowledge to the viewers of Documented Handicappers.

I look forward to bringing my financial background and investment strategies to the Documented Handicappers community. As a former stressed out day trader, I swung into the sports investing market as an outlet from the stocks. It was an easy transition for me and I have developed a way to use my advanced analytic tools which guided me towards promising stocks and applied it to sports investing. I discovered that my education and statistical knowledge allowed me to identify weak betting lines giving me an advantage to predict sports picks that were safer than a blue chip. I provide MLB, NFL, NBA and NCAAB picks for Documented Handicappers and I look forward to giving you sound sports advice.
