RickJ's Handicapping Picks has been around for over 10 years in Las Vegas, Nv. He has been publishing his plays as a winning handicapper daily on this site. Records are kept going back from the beginning and broken down by year and sport.

There are two things you must decide.

First is the amount of your betting bankroll. What I recommend is to set aside an amount for wagering that if you lose it all it will not be a concern for you.

Secondly, you then need to decide whether you wish to take a conservative approach or a more aggressive one. The range of amounts to wager should be from 2% to 3% of your wagering bankroll.

From experience, I can tell you 3% produces some wild swings that unless your experienced might cause you concern. In addition, the higher the % the greater the risk of ruin.

2%, on the other hand, is a good number to use.  Your swings will be much tamer and your exposure to negative variance will be a lot less.

Your bet size will rise and fall depending on the amount that is in your wagering bankroll. I adjust my bet size daily.

These are the 3 things I look at primarily in handicapping sports.

Models are my own generated ratings for all sports. These you will find will be the sharpest in the business.

Variables are my basket of situations that historically have produced positive EV when they occur. Variables are a handicapper's most guarded possession!!!

Public % is a cornerstone of handicapping sports. It provides a basic structure to begin determining value. It is the rock of handicapping sports.

These are sent out daily on all games played for the day except for college hoops. College hoops will be ranked team matchups only.

Most of my followers do some handicapping on their own. Many are very proficient at this as I know many personally.

The most common use of the big three is as filters. Myself I need all 3 to align before I even begin to think about playing a game. But, I am very conservative in my approach as I am very versed in both the positive and negative effects of variance in gambling.

So, if you yourself are interested in a particular game, you can look at my breakdown. If any of the big 3 is on the other side of the game, filter it out. If none are present on either side, then it depends on your handicapping. But the best is when they coincide with your picks.

The "Big Three" is something I have developed extensively over the years. This information while appearing simple in appearance has years of development behind it.

All three have passed extensive backtesting and real-time testing. I will wager to say you will not find a betting informational breakdown of the games to give you an excellent head start to find value or in many instances save you lost value!!!
