The EquinEdge handicapping platform received national attention when it was used in January by company CEO Scotty McKeever in winning the Pegasus World Cup Betting Challenge. Perhaps even more remarkable than the win is that McKeever’s other entry for the tournament finished sixth.
For the day, McKeever won nearly $200,000 and a paid entry to the National Handicapping Championship in Las Vegas later this year. McKeever explained to me he used to spend eight to 10 hours a day pouring over statistics and past performances and can now build his bets for each race in a few minutes.
“EquinEdge is very much like having a caddy on the golf course,” said McKeever, who hosts a livestream on the EquinEdge YouTube Channel every Saturday. “We identify specific opportunities for each race using the most advanced algorithms ever built, but the final decisions are up to you.”
McKeever said the platform is successful because players are entertained while they learn. “A growing interest in pari-mutuel wagering will grow the interest in horse racing. New players do not want to spend eight hours with their head buried in a racing form. With EquinEdge, players of all skill levels can handicap the race in minutes, build their bets within a budget and have a lot of fun while having a realistic expectation of cashing tickets.” McKeever said.
EquinEdge is committed to revolutionizing handicapping and driving the industry into the digital age. There’s no need to download forms or print anything out. It’s a web app accessible by smartphone, computer, iPad or tablet.
Company COO Michael Maiorana said, “This is what people should be using as a standard for handicapping. Our data shows EquinEdge players cash more tickets. It’s AI (artificial intelligence) based. We use multiple machine-learning algorithms that provide actionable data to players. The ticket generator on our site generates outputs based on the specific parameters entered by each player. If you want to do a trifecta and put in your budget, it gives you the most mathematically probable winner for your wager amount.”
“Every day there are people winning and sharing tickets,” Maiorana said. “We’ve had players hit for more than $22K on a $22 bet and others hit multiple Pick 6 wagers at different tracks on the same day! It’s like we opened the black box to the public when we built this system. We took the systems used by the biggest handicappers on the planet and exposed them for everyone to use.”
“EquinEdge places easy-to-understand metrics at your fingerprints,” Maiorana continued. “The speed at which you can handicap is unparalleled. You can go from race to race with one click.”
“This is what horse racing needs,” he said.
“A lot of our users are people who have been handicapping for years,” explained Maiorana. “We get a lot of feedback that they have never been as successful as they are now, with the tools we have made available. EquinEdge is like playing any new game – the better you get at it, the more you win. Younger generations are using this, having fun and able to compete in the sport.”
EquinEdge wants to feature its product as a benefit to players at race books, racinos and live meets where customers can access it for free.
