Sean Murphy’s handicapping success is renowned, and his winning advice has been featured on TV and radio shows across North America.
Active since: 2003
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Sean Murphy made his professional debut as lead handicapper for Pat Miller Sports in 2003, continuing on with The Miller Group from 2006 through 2009. Sean broke away to found his own sports service in September 2009 and has now delivered 12 of 17 winning NFL seasons. Sean’s also cashed big in NCAA Football, as he’s won each of the last 3 seasons, recording 55% of his overall bets. A key factor in Sean’s success is his knack for Over/Unders, which is no surprise given Sean’s reputation as a ‘numbers guru.’ Indeed, Sean’s knack for handling numbers is deep-rooted. He owns a business degree, with a major in finance, and is a member of the prestigious Beta Gamma Sigma honor society for business students and scholars.
Although Sean took a circuitous route to become a professional handicapper, sports betting has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember. In fact, he still fondly recalls his first successful venture into sports betting – a winning three-game NFL ‘Pro-Line’ parlay (offered by the Canadian lottery) when he was just 12 years old. Sean — along with the rest of his 7th grade class — was hooked. His passion for sports is unmatched. The phrase “find something you love to do and you’ll never ‘work’ a day in your life” is Murph's mantra. Sean's love for numbers, combined with his passion for sports, makes a career in sports handicapping the perfect fit.
After building The Miller Group from the ground up, and turning it into one of America’s most respected handicapping services, Sean has continued to prosper as an independent, thanks to an honest approach and strong belief in delivering value to the customer. Sean’s selections are based on his extensive knowledge of the game, and his approach is both situational and statistical. He prides himself on going against the majority and thinking outside the box, and his unique analysis keeps his clients coming back. When you purchase one of Sean’s selections, you can always count on insightful and expert information to back it up. Sean rates all of his plays from 8* to 10* with free plays qualifying as 8* releases, and the majority of his selections warranting a 10* designation. As you would expect, the higher the rating, the stronger the play.

Seattle Kraken -111 (BetOnline)
My selection is on Seattle over Calgary at 8:05 pm et on Friday. We're able to back the Kraken at a very reasonable price on Friday thanks to the Flames recent run. Of course, Calgary's four-game winning streak did come to an end on Wednesday in Edmonton. Not only that but the Flames lost goalte...
My selection is on Seattle over Calgary at 8:05 pm et on Friday. We're able to back the Kraken at a very reasonable price on Friday thanks to the Flames recent run. Of course, Calgary's four-game winning streak did come to an end on Wednesday in Edmonton. Not only that but the Flames lost goaltender Devin Cooley to an injury in that contest. He was a big part of their recent surge. The Kraken delivered a 5-4 win over Toronto two nights ago and have won three of their last four games. They're already 2-0 against the Flames this season, outscoring them by a wide margin of 12-2 in those two contests. Take Seattle (8*).NCAAF - Over / Under - Sat, Oct 31 @ 12:00 PM
Wisconsin vs Iowa
Wisconsin vs Iowa Under 36.5 (-110) (BetMGM)
My selection is on the 'under' between Wisconsin and Iowa at 12 noon et on Saturday. Sometimes the oddsmakers can't set a total low (or high) enough and I think that's the case here as the Badgers and Hawkeyes do battle in early action on Saturday. Wisconsin has shown some positive flashes offen...
My selection is on the 'under' between Wisconsin and Iowa at 12 noon et on Saturday. Sometimes the oddsmakers can't set a total low (or high) enough and I think that's the case here as the Badgers and Hawkeyes do battle in early action on Saturday. Wisconsin has shown some positive flashes offensively this season but generally struggles against good defensive opponents, and Iowa certainly qualifies as that. Wisconsin did win 24-7 against USC last week but gained only 3.5 yards per play so that result was a little misleading. Defensively, the Badgers have been on point lately, holding four of their last five opponents to 3.6 yards per play or less. Iowa is trending in the right direction defensively again after limiting Minnesota to 3.4 yards per play in a tough 13-10 road loss last week. After getting off to a hot start to the season offensively, the Hawkeyes have been limited to 4.8 ypp in three of their last four contests. Take the under (8*).NBA - Over / Under - Fri, Oct 30
