It is time to sign up for the football season, as college football starts today.

Just go to my website rickjshandicappingpicks.com and use the paypal drop down menu on the home page. Over the years the most used option is the 49.00 a month which covers all sports, RickJ’s Road Maps on all games, and access to both discord channels, RickJSports and RickJInvest.

Unlike most services it is month to month, so you can cancel whenever you like. There is no 4 figure fee, its monthly allowing you the flexibility to do whatever you wish during the sports year.

The 2nd most used subscription is the yearly at 499.00 a year. That gives you an 89.00 discount over the monthly subscription.

If you have any questions send me an email to riccja3@gmail.com or rickj@rickjshandicappingpicks.com. Gmail for me gets my attention faster.

RickJ’s Handicapping Picks has had an online presence for over 20 years now where i have tirelessly handicapped sports daily, sharing my picks and observations with subscribers. I have had subscribers that have been with me since day 1 and have not left. Not many services can say that:)

My record for the NFL over the years has been very profitable:

Last season the sides and top 5 contest picks were:

2025

Sides 25-18-1

Top 5 Contest Picks 54-39-2 56.06%

In addition you get  RickJ’s Road Map for every NFL game played.  That includes the model edge, variable edge and Public % Edge. If you do your own handicapping like most do that subscribe, this road map becomes very helpful.

NCAA FB :

2025 Sides 26-22

         Totals 11-6

In NCAA FB in the past I have put out road maps on all games in which a ranked team plays. This season I will try to put it out on every game on the nevada rotation, similar to what I did this season for MLB.

In addition any other sport that is active that I handicap will be included during the subscription.

Rather than paying a large up front fee, the subscription is monthly and can be cancelled at the end of the 30 day period. If you happen to miss it by a day or two, no worries as I will refund the subscription fee.

The cost of a subscription is 49.00 a month, or yearly at 499.00 a year. If you are not planning on participating during MLB I suggest the monthly subscription.

To sign up just go to the paypal dropdown on the home page of rickjshandicappingpicks.com. Once you sign up, I will add you to my email list, and also to my two discord channels. RickJSports and RickJInvest.

RickJInvest is a value added for those that trade stocks. I typically put out most of my trades when I make them. From time to time I also provide commentary on the market activity, and of course as always I am open to questions on most subjects.

I look forward to most of you coming back for the football season. Just the Road Maps make the service worth it. Very few services provide this. They are invaluable for those that like to do their own handicapping.

I have been doing this for over 20 years now, and have subscribers that have been with me from day 1:)  Not many handicappers can say that.

Again, to sign up, 1. Go to rickjshandicappingpicks.com 2. use the dropdown paypal option on the home page 3. Fill it out and your good to go. I will have you up and running before the first game starts today.

Remember a subscription covers all active sports I handicap. Which is almost every sport. It not only gives you my plays, but also my road maps for the games that will guide you if you do yoru own handicapping. As a value added I share most of my stock trades on my sister discord site, RickJInvest for all subscribers.

Hope to see you join us this season!!!!!

RickJ’s Handicapping Picks

Rickjshandicappingpicks.com

Hey everyone — RickJ here. It’s been a minute since I’ve posted anything on the site, but not that MLB picks is active I wanted to come back with something worth reading rather than just noise. Life out here in Las Vegas stays busy, and between running the Sports handicapping picks operation, keeping up with the investment side of things, actually watching the games, getting my pickleball in three times a week, and dealing with my HOA — which deserves its own post someday — the blog sometimes gets pushed to the back burner. But I’m back, and I’ve got a lot to catch you up on.

Let me start with the numbers, including season to date for MLB picks, because that’s what this is all about.

NCAA Football wrapped up a few months back. On the sides, I went 45-36-1 — a solid winning record I’m genuinely happy with over the course of a long college football season. Totals were a rougher ride at 5-11, and I’ll be straight with you: the totals market in college ball has gotten tougher, and I wasn’t sharp enough there. I’ll own it.

The NFL season was cleaner. Sides finished 20-15, which is a profitable margin in a league where sharp edges are hard to find. No complaints there.

NCAA Basketball ran long and deep this year. Sides ended at 47-44-4 for the season, which is a winning mark across a massive volume of games. Totals were a struggle at 5-8-1 — again, a category I need to tighten up. The tournament was a small sample, just a few plays, and it didn’t go the way I wanted: Totals 1-2-1, Sides 0-1. Tournament basketball is a different animal and I treated it that way, keeping my exposure limited. Its been a great contributor to Sports handicapping picks.

MLB Picks – 2026 Season Update

Now here’s where things are getting interesting: MLB picks 2025 is underway and we’re off to a real good start. Through the games so far, I’m sitting at 14-12 on sides (+8.51 units) and 13-12-2 on totals (-1.65 units), for a combined +6.86 units and a 13.45% ROI. Early in the season, but I’ll take it. Baseball is a grind — 162 games, six months — and starting with positive ROI and units up is exactly where you want to be.

Right now I’m active on MLB picks every day. I’m putting out roadmaps — full breakdowns of every game on the slate — plus my actual plays, all going out via email and through the RickJSports Discord channel. NBA and NHL are still in their seasons too, and I’m covering those as well. NCAA Basketball just concluded for the year, so attention shifts pretty fully to the diamond and the hardwood and the ice. The Discord covers everything related to Sports handicapping picks.

One thing I’ve added that a lot of you have really responded to is the investing side. I run a second Discord channel called RickJInvest where I post market commentary, trade ideas, and my own positioning. It’s not a picks service — it’s a conversation about what I’m watching and doing with my own money. This channel is included with all paid subscriptions at no extra cost. If you’re into markets as much as sports, you’ll get something out of it.

Speaking of subscriptions — here’s the structure: it’s $49 a month, $24 a week, or $499 for the full year. Signing up is simple — just use the PayPal button right on the home page at rickjshandicappingpicks.com. But the thing I want you to hear, because no other handicapper I know of does this: if I do not have a winning season, I will refund 50% of your subscription. Not a credit, not a promo — a real refund. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years and accountability is the one thing that separates the real ones from the guys just selling dreams. You deserve to know the person you’re trusting with your money has real skin in the game. I do.

If you want to sign up, have questions, or just want to talk ball, reach out directly at riccja3@gmail.com. You can also find me on Discord in the RickJSports and RickJInvest channels. Come hang out — it’s a good group of people who take this seriously without taking themselves too seriously.

Glad to be back. Let’s have a run.
