A professional handicapper at the best sports betting information site, pregame.com, Sleepy is also a frequent guest on Fox Sports Radio's "Straight Outta Vegas."

      DAVE ESSLER

      @DaveEssler

       

      Dave Essler - also known as "Uncle Dave" and "Diamond Dave" - has been sharing his winning picks for over a decade and is a legend of sorts on pregame.com. Dave is a lifelong entrepreneur and an avid golfer in the little spare time he has. He is convinced that nobody works harder for his sports betting clients. Dave has struck fear in the sportsbooks over the years because of his uncanny handicapping approach. He is not only a true contrarian bettor, but he also can read when public bettors are correct before a game. This is a skill that Dave has mastered over his decades of sports betting.
