Scott Pritchard, the founder of PritchardsPicks, has been with VegasInsider.com as a professional sports bettor/Senior Handicapper since their inception in the early 2000s. He has also been featured on weekly sports radio shows in Las Vegas.
Scott headed West to “Sin City” in April of 1993 after having his own radio sports show in Aurora, Illinois for seven years, covering the Chicago professional sports teams, including multiple interviews with Michael Jordan. When Scott inquired of Jordan regarding the source of his athletic prowess and success, Jordan replied… “It comes from within…. You must believe you are the best.”
Scott took Michael’s advice to heart and has been one of the top handicappers throughout the last 3+ decades as he epitomizes continuity and consistency. Pritchard has often said, “every sports bettor will make more money betting sports by perfecting four key skills: Patience, Discipline, Money management skills, and the ability to Shop and recognize value.”
During a recent College Football season, he went an incredible 17-0 and 24-2 including 11-1 in Bowl games, all ATS. This is after he won 16 straight baseball games months earlier betting favorites, dogs, and totals June 14-28th. This incredible run was documented by vegasinsider.com, where the plays are time-stamped and audited. Scott has done exceptionally well in many Las Vegas sports book NFL handicapping contests, recording Top 10 finishes countless times. This includes 8th and 9th place finishes in the Westgate Superbook Contest in 2 of the only 3 entries he purchased. Scott was just as dominant in smaller venues, taking 2nd at the Golden Nugget and 6th place a year later, 2nd place at Bally’s, 3rd place at Harrahs, and 3rd place at Stratosphere. This fall, Scott has been invited to be one of only 16 professional sports bettors/handicappers to compete in the Circa Friday Football Invitational, with a $50,000 total prize at stake.
His work ethic is second to none and he is very passionate about what he does. Scott is the consummate professional and wagers on every game posted on this site.
