Sports betting is one of the fastest growing industries in the country and social media influencers are becoming more and more common every day. It’s no surprise that people have found a way to combine both of those things into one.

Enter the sports betting handicapper, a person that makes a living announcing their picks and developing a following, especially on Twitter. They can be useful for bettors looking to learn the trick of the trade, so let’s take a look at three of the best accounts to check out.

Greg Peterson (@GUnit_81, 57.1K Followers)

There may not be another sports handicapper on Twitter that puts in as much work as Greg Peterson. Every day, he releases a spreadsheet that includes what he believes the line and total should be on each college basketball game on the schedule. Peterson bases everything he does off countless hours of research and regularly watches as much competition as he can. The rest of the work is done by the bettor themself. Comparing Peterson’s line to that on the sportsbook gives a peek into which side has the advantage.

For example, let’s say Duke is a 2-point favorite over Syracuse on DraftKings, but Peterson lists the Blue Devils as a 2-point underdog. That means he thinks the value lies with the Orange. The same tactic applies to the totals, too. Keep in mind Peterson employs this same strategy with Major League Baseball and explains all of his thoughts on his podcast, “The Greg Peterson Experience”. Everything is free, which makes him a great account to follow throughout the year.

Dead President Picks (@DeadPresPicks, 64K Followers)

Dead President Picks is run by Matt McCuen and is set up exactly like most stereotypical sports betting accounts on Twitter. He offers a VIP service for his daily picks that costs money to be a part of and constantly updates his return on investment numbers. The thing that makes him stick out among the pack is the free content he provides, though.

McCuen regularly gives out his most confident bet for free and links articles he has written on the wager via Oddschecker.com. He also occasionally releases his full VIP card if his tweets gain enough traction. On top of that, McCuen works with certain sportsbooks and has bonus codes that allow first-time bettors to take advantage of certain promotions like deposit matches. Those specific sportsbooks can be found right in his bio. McCuen’s readiness to interact with his followers and answer direct messages sets him apart from other sports handicappers.

Pickswise (@Pickswise, 199.2K Followers)

Pickswise is a unique twitter account to follow simply because it isn’t run by just one person. It is rather a collection of sports bettors looking to provide information to the public. Aside from the occasional highlight video or bad beat, Pickswise’s tweets are directed back to their website. That is where a detailed explanation and prediction can be found for most sports games on the schedule any given day. That includes football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer.

Most pieces are written overnight, meaning they are published and ready to go in the morning for bettors looking to take advantage of early lines. The wagers are also rated on a 1-3 star scale, depending on the confidence of the writer. Pickswise does a good job at appealing to all kinds of sports bettors given it provides daily long shot parlays and player props as well. It’s a one-stop shop for anyone looking to build their card.
