About The Wise Guy Team

About ME

Hi, I'm Ross, The Wise Guy

Ross Thornton grew up swapping coloring books for his father’s basketball clipboard, learning early that success demands discipline and heart. Armed with a B.S. in Education from West Virginia State, he became an ordained minister, a high school boys’ basketball coach, and a relentless student of sports.

Today, as co-owner of the Wise Guy Team, Ross applies a proven contrarian system—aligning with the sportsbooks—to deliver an impressive 55% career win rate on his Official Plays, with zero losing years to date.

Every wager he offers, he personally bets himself, documented by an independent monitor and revealed only once the game starts. In a market where 99% of bettors lose annually, Ross stands in the exclusive 1% who consistently profit.

Guided by honesty and steadfast principles, he aims not just to provide picks, but to educate clients on line movement, bankroll management, and the mental fortitude required to truly succeed. Whether you’re new to sports betting or a seasoned bettor, Ross’s approach can finally steer you toward lasting, real-world results.

We have never had a losing calendar year. Our system is designed to make a profit every calendar year from January 1 to December 31.

I’ve been a client of the Wise Guy Team since 2020. After getting scammed and wasting money on other services, I gave up—until I found Ross. He actually cares, and his system works year in and out.

Ken Wise Guy Client

I’ve been with Ross and the Wise Guy Team for several years. He’s more transparent than any handicapper I’ve ever worked with. When he hits a rough patch, get ready—because he always bounces back.

Terry Wise Guy Client

Been with The Wise Guy Team for almost 2 years. Month after month, they prove to be winners. More importantly, they’re true to their word and honest. That’s rare.

JLey Wise Guy Client

I’ve been with Ross for over 3 years. I’m on Social Security and not a big bettor, but Ross worked with my budget so I could still feel like a high roller. That means a lot to me.

Joseph Wise Guy Client

I was tired of fake records and shady cappers. Ross sends his tickets with every pick. He bets what he gives—and he wins. That’s all you need to know.

Sebastian Wise Guy Client

I’ve tried many services over the years and Wise Guy is the best by far. Picks are accurate, profitable, and they actually send their own slips. Real honesty. Real results.

Todd Wise Guy Client

I didn’t think I needed a service—I had time to research and thought I was fine. But Ross and the Wise Guy Team made me realize what I was missing. It’s like getting picks from a friend who has your back.

Brad Wise Guy Client

The service Ross and his team provide is exceptional. Picks are sent daily, everything is documented, and they’re always available when I have questions. Truly grateful.
