As sports betting continues to grow rapidly in the United States, it first became legal in 2018 as the federalists granted states the ability to regulate it on their respective behalf. After years of sports betting following, tracking and analysis, SportsCapValue became official in January 2023. SportsCapValue, known as SCV, is a sports consultant company for Sports bettors. Motivated to help amateur sports bettors have an edge when it comes to the sportsbooks, find value and winning wagers is what drives me (SportsCap).  We take a deeper dive into SportsCapValue:

Q&A:

How did SportsCapValue come about?

Let me go way back first.  Always been an avid sports fan growing up, playing all sports, and watching them on TV to this day.  I am from a small town and one of my childhood friends’ father was involved in sports betting, a bookie if you say. This was 20+ years ago when smartphones didn’t exist. Everything was done by paper, phone calls.  Anyways, we would play poker and hang around as we progressed through high school.  People would come in and make bets, play parlay cards. You know normal stuff that high school kids do lol.  So got to see up close as we would watch games with him and how he would need this score to happen or this scenario to happen for him to win.  Didn’t really think much of it at the time but really enjoyed the different perspective of a game when it wasn’t my team playing. 

Who’s your team?

The South Carolina Gamecocks.  Grew up in SC watching them with my dad and family and fell in love with the University. I ended up going to USC where I got my engineering degree.  While in school being a broke college student, I wanted to make some extra cash so me and a buddy started running parlay cards to people we knew all over campus. 

How did that go?

Well again, keep in mind at this time, this was right before smartphones existed.  There was no online betting.  So, I would have the parlay cards printed and I would pick up early in the week and we would start dispersing immediately.  So, we would have to pass out and then collect them before Saturday football started.  It was a lot of work, but it was good.  Really understood that the house doesn’t lose (much at all) when volume is created on games, i.e. the “juice” on bets. Did that for a couple seasons and then started getting into the real world after graduating.

Fast forwarding to now, how does somebody like you gets into the Sports handicapping business?

Great question.  First, I have always wanted to start my own business. Way back when, when I first started to get into sportsbetting, I learned quickly how hard it was to be on the right side of picks.  I learned the hard way, losing.  But I loved watching games with something small (at the time) on the line.  With my engineering background, I loved numbers, loved math. I used to love guessing the lines before they came out.  I knew that if I could gain some experience somehow watching line movements, watching money %, stats, efficiencies, developing angles of value and what I not, I could develop a system where I was profitable.

What is that system?

Lol. There you go.  That is why SportCapValue was created. 

No, but seriously.  I saw I could provide great value.  I was watching some random folks on social media one day back in 2021, I can’t remember I want to say Fall sometime during football.  I noticed that no one seemed to know what they were talking about while they appeared to be convincing people they could while giving out these fraudulent winning percentages.  SCV was born that day. I knew I could provide authentic, transparent, visible, trustworthy service to people on a day-to-day basis.

How did you come up with the name SportsCapValue?

Well, it just came to me one day.  I think it flows well. It suits the company mission well and I think it will continue to stick with people as we grow. I wanted to provide value to our subscribers through sports.

So, me not being a normal sports bettor, how does it work if I were to get involved?

Visit our website at sportscapvalue.com. There we offer subscription packages for purchase, monthly being the most valuable.  That will get you access to our recommended daily plays for 30 days.  You would then take those plays and bet at your discretion with whatever sportsbetting site you use.  Every play has a unit value beside it and that represents a level of confidence in relation to your bankroll.  Your bankroll should be what you are willing to lose and it does not affect your daily life.  1 unit should equal 1% of your bankroll.  The reason is because everyone’s bankroll is different.  For example, if your unit was $10, a 3-unit play would be $30. If your unit is $50, a 3-unit would be $150.  We also have a podcast presented by SCV as well that continues to grow.  Really enjoy breaking down games and angles to games for our listeners.  We have all our social media connected to our website and we will continue to expand and grow our incentives for our subscribers on our website.

What sports do you provide plays for?

All the major ones. Football, Basketball, Baseball, Golf, Hockey. College and Pro for Football and Basketball. Player Props as well!

What has been something difficult you didn’t think would be starting out?

Social Media. 100%.  SCV is on all these media platforms, and you have to be posting daily, sometime multiple times in a day. You must be creative with your content.  It blows my mind the stuff some people posts and it is not very good. Actually, it’s terrible but they will have like thousands of views, likes and comments.  It is crazy how that works.  Always up for suggestions in that department. I applaud folks, in whatever industry you are in, that have lots of success in it.  It is definitely a challenge for sure that we strive to improve in.  But at end of the day, the picks take care of themselves. What I mean by that is with winning, day by day, subscriber by subscriber we continue to strongly impact the industry and in a good way.  A part of that too in our membership, the value that could be forgotten in social media is our customer service, daily interaction with subscribers behind the scenes, our transparency, being trustworthy and dependable to our people. 

What are you most proud of so far early in this journey?

How far SCV has come in a matter of 10 months.  The leap of faith with so many unknowns to start the company. The hard work it takes for a startup and all the long hours and years it takes to formulate this business, to go live and up and running. The mistakes I made have been rewarding as I have learned so much in so little time.  Really excited about the future of SCV.

What do you envision for the future of SCV?

We will be the #1 Sports handicapping company in the world. Millions of subscribers taking over the sports betting industry. As well, creating some sort of events around our picks and creating a social gathering people can get away from the real world for a few hours.  Whether that be by brick and mortar and or a pop up in a city near you! Taking that platform and helping people out in need for a good cause.

God Bless! – SCV
