Consultant Bio
Ralph was raised in the home of handicappers – Cleveland, Ohio. Starting in the industry as a key member of Phil Steele’s early team who expanded Northcoast Sports during the mid- 90s. Ralph’s personal following grew fast, allowing him to strike out on his own as the founder of California Sports. Bookie crushing basketball results came quickly – including the rare feat of back-to-back College Basketball World Championships at the Sports Monitor. Results so good that California Sports became a household name; one of the few public handicappers in history syndicates bet big enough to move lines instantly upon his pick releases. Wiseguys in the late 90s would explain the reason for a big move by simply saying “best bet from Cal.”
These many accomplishments impressed Phil Steele enough to offer Ralph Michaels the top job. Over the next dozen years as General Manager of Phil Steele Publications and lead handicapper of Northcoast Sports, Ralph managed the creation of some of the most popular sports betting content ever, including Phil Steele’s College Football Preview Magazine and Northcoast’s Power Sweep Newsletter. Content displaying expertise so elite that Ralph was invited into college football’s most exclusive club: Heisman Trophy Voter. For nearly a decade Ralph’s opinion was counted equally side-by-side the most respected college football journalist in the country!
Ralph Michaels has a math mind, steady searching for a value in the numbers – in addition to matchup edges, situational ad- vantages, and hidden gems of information. Ralph finds more big bets in the college versions of football and basketball, but his handicapping approach also uncovers selective winners in the professional leagues. Small conferences are particularly profitable due to mispriced injuries and his profiling of exploitable coaching tendencies.
