HANDICAPPER : Shawn Hodina

Shawn Hodina has been handicapping sports since 1992. He focuses on MLB, College Football, College Basketball, NBA, and NFL spreads/money lines. Shawn is meticulous with his recommendations. He has created 15 distinct math models to predict game outcomes, and he won’t release a play unless all of the models agree on an outcome. He also treats any recommendations as an investment and is not a high-volume player. He will average 1 play per day. He also recommends proper money management, with every recommendation equaling 1% of the investor’s total bankroll in that particular sport. While all plays are straight bets, he will occasionally buy and sell points based on where he sees line value. This will also be reflected in each recommendation. Shawn does not provide write-ups because his recommendations are rooted in his models, which have a track record of success. Handicapping is not Shawn’s full-time career, but his career is rooted in analytics and statistics. As a result, he takes principles he uses every day in his career and applies them to his models. He is also an athlete himself. Despite his old age, he still plays sand volleyball, golf, and tries to play pickleball. In spite of all of his interests, Shawn gains the most satisfaction from finding under-the-radar value, like a random Big Sky basketball game, and making his clients’ money.
