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.
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.
From casual bettors to seasoned sharps, people across the country trust the Wise Guy Team because we’re honest, transparent, and we win.
