Ben Whiteman ( 5 Won / 0 Lost )

Many handicappers make claims of being the best, but Ben Whiteman lets his documented records do the talking for him.

Ben enjoyed an extremely successful sports handicapping run during the early and mid-1990s. After winning a major handicapping contest, he decided to make his picks available, via the Internet, in 2000.

Having extreme confidence in his handicapping ability and a strong desire to "do things the right way," Ben immediately sought a reputable company to independently document his sports picks.

Ben immediately rose to the top of the leader-boards and has enjoyed numerous first place finishes. He has enjoyed excellent seasons in all sports but football is clearly his forte. Ben's College Football Picks finished first overall in 2004. Ben also finished first in the NFL in both 1999 and again in 2002. In fact, Ben has hit at least 50% of his NFL picks in five straight seasons and in seven of eight seasons overall.

Ben has developed a reputation as a "totals guru" and has accomplished some simply superb 'over/under' results. Check out the following documented stats, updated July 2006.

      * 140-90 (61%) on NFL totals the past seven seasons.
      * 48-38 (56%) on College Football totals the past four seasons.
      * 116-80 (59%) on Baseball totals the past three seasons.
      * 25-16 (61%) on College Basketball totals the past two seasons.
      * 96-79 (55%) on NHL totals the past three seasons.

Ben tends to particularly excel during the postseason and the NFL playoffs are certainly no exception. Ben is an awesome 33-13 (72%) his last 46 NFL playoff picks. Amazingly, he's also documented with a perfect 9-0 record with his Super Bowl picks!

Ben has an impeccable reputation for honesty and professionalism. All of his selections are supported by logical and well-researched analysis.
