Hit That Line with sports handicapper Jon Price of Sports Information Traders

Being known as the world’s best sports bettor is one difficult feat. Holding onto that title is even harder.

Hit That Line is fortunate enough to sit down and interview the worlds most notable and respected sports handicapper Jon Price who joins us weekly on air to give out his predictions for college and professional football.

It’s a bright sunny Friday morning in Las Vegas. While the party goers from Omnia and XS are passed out in their rooms one man is hard at work analyzing lines, looking for trends, running prediction models and working hard to build profits for another decade while others give Vegas their money he’s one of the few that Vegas gives their money to but it’s no easy feat and after 11+ years of profiting he hunts for another big year.

Price has had quite a few accomplishments, and listeners here in Arkansas have even made a buck or two off your football picks last year. It all started back in New York last century.

Sports betting has been my life for as long as I’ve been old enough to gamble. I started off as a child being able to handicap horses.

I am lucky enough to be born with an innate ability to calculate numbers and accurately predict outcomes better than any other living human.

My Dad’s friends noticed this and started asking me daily for my picks. My mom soon tried to put a stop to this but it was only the beginning. When I started college off in my freshman year by winning a few football pools, it wasn’t long before students and friends began to take notice that I was making some pretty substantial money from betting on sports while everyone else was working part-time jobs on top of their busy class schedule.

Within the first six months of winning my first NFL pool I entered, I had a client list of about 20 people, ranging from friends to friends of friends, that wagered money on my picks.

I had my college loans paid off, all from sports betting, before even graduating. I knew then I wasn’t going to pursue my degree in mathematics. Instead I transitioned right into the sports handicapping field and once I no longer had college taking up a good bit of my time, I was able to grow my sports handicapping firm running it as Wall Street runs their hedge funds.

The capacity to place large wagers however was a problem and finding people to place wagers for you that you can trust to not run off with half a million dollars in cash becomes rare.

Years later, I opened up the investment opportunity for the public as part of my professional betting retirement plan and that’s how Sports Information Traders came into play.

Today it is one of the most respected services within only three years of making my picks available to the public.

Hit That Line: What inspired you to start this business?

The easy answer is the money.

I knew I was good at picking horses, college and NFL winners almost instantly, and the reaction I received from those around me reinforced that confidence in my picks.

It didn’t occur to me at the time how much potential it had to become my career but, like I said, within the first six months I was already making very good money from my own sports wagers as well as giving other people my picks for a fee.

I’ve always believed in the adage, “Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life.” That pretty much sums up my life.

I’d be wagering on sports even if I ended up in a different career field, it’s more than a career, it’s my passion and my hobby.

To be able to pick winners on a daily basis, and do it at a pace that few can match … it’s easy getting up each morning when you love your job as much as I do.

My biggest money-maker is my picks that I wager on.

Sports Information Traders has a few hundred clients and we do very well because we produce winners at a consistent rate, but that money doesn’t compare to winning a $1 million or $2 million bet.

I waited for the Floyd Mayweather line to come crashing down on fight night. I advised my inner circle of big gamblers that this is a fight you can’t take out of the gate. It was too expensive, but come fight night it came down and I got a six figure wager in.

I wanted to put a million dollars on the fight as it was as close to a sure thing to win just over $100,000 but it was a rare moment that I backed off and put less than a million down.

I did cash over $1 million on the previous Floyd Mayweather fight though. Guess the unknown and gut instinct didn’t allow me to wager more on this one.

I can make my whole year on one solid play. Can’t beat that kind of return on your investment from any other form of investing that I’m aware of.

And I’m not the only one making money, our clients who follow our system are making tens of thousands to six figures, depending how large their average wager is.

Last week I went 5-0 documented in Forbes. All of my betting picks won and people thanked me for all the money I made them. What other job allows that?
