Triple Play All-Access Baseball Pass – Includes 5% Best Bets – ONLY $49!

For a limited time, get every baseball play from your favorite handicapper for three full days — and any 5% Best Bets released — for just $49. That's only $16.33 per day for every premium baseball release your handicapper posts. You'll receive instant access the moment plays are released, ensuring you get the best possible number before the lines move.

Individually, these plays would cost well over $100, but the Triple Play All-Access Pass gives you three days of nonstop baseball action for less than half the price. As a bonus, if your handicapper releases any college or international selections during your access window — including College Baseball, KBO (Korea) or NPB (Japan) — those are included at no extra charge. Don't miss a single first pitch — lock in your Triple Play All-Access Pass today and start cashing tickets!

*Access includes all MLB selections and any college/international baseball released and played during your 3-day window.

3-Day All-Access Pass — ONLY $49

For a limited time, get three full days of all-access service from the handicapper of your choice for just $49 — only $16 per day for every play they handicap across all sports, including MLB, NBA, NHL, WNBA, soccer, UFC, tennis, and more.

That's $20 off the regular site price.

Need more than 3 days? Stack 'em up. Buy multiple 3-Day passes and ride the same low rate as long as you want — they'll run back-to-back so you never miss a play.

And here's the kicker: while your pass is active, you'll also have a 25% OFF coupon good on regular-priced daily packages and Flex Passes!

Whether you're following a proven expert or trying someone new, this deal gives you full access to every selection and every piece of analysis — no restrictions, no exceptions.

$100 OFF a 30-Day All-Access Pass + 10 Days Free — Save $238!

How would you like to bet right alongside your favorite handicapper for the next 40 days for under FIVE BUCKS per day? We've got you covered.

A 30-Day All-Access Pass normally runs $299. For a limited time, we're cutting the price by $100 AND tacking on 10 extra days of picks for FREE. Here's how the savings break down:

  • $100 OFF the 30-Day All-Access Pass
  • FREE 3-Day All-Access — a $39 value
  • FREE 7-Day All-Access — a $99 value
  • Total savings: $238

For the next 40 days, you'll get every play across every sport from your favorite handicapper — including all 5% Best Bets — for under $5.00 per day.

Already have an active All-Access Pass? No problem. Your 40 days won't begin until your current package expires.

Lock In 40 Days for Under $5/Day!

1-Year All-Inclusive Pass — Just $99/Month + 25% Bonus Coupon

Grab a full 365-day All-Access Pass to your favorite handicapper for just $1,188 — regularly priced at $1,999. This is a one-time payment of $1,188 that works out to just $99/month or $3.25/day for an entire year of action.

You'll get every pick, every sport they handicap, and every 5% Best Bet released over the next 12 months. HUGE savings, depending on what your handicapper covers:

  • Football + MLB? Retail $1,794. Save $606.
  • Football + Basketball + MLB? Retail $2,789. Save $1,601.
  • All sports? Retail up to $4,535. Save over $3,300.
