Handicapper Bio

In an industry often crowded with high-volume noise, “Maple” Matthew St. John stands apart through a philosophy of extreme precision and low-volume. Hailing from Canada, Matthew St. John has spent over nine years navigating the sports betting landscape, contributing to elite syndicate groups and serving as a premier NHL and NFL specialist for one of the country’s largest services. While he specializes in the NHL and NFL, his deep analytical reach extends across the entire sporting landscape; he will confidently pull the trigger on any sport the moment he identifies a distinct situational edge. Matthew’s approach is built on a single, unwavering principle: Quality over quantity. He doesn’t just look for games to bet; he hunts for specific situational spots where the market has miscalculated. His daily ritual involves a meticulous breakdown of line movement—comparing opening numbers to current market prices—to understand the “why” behind the oddsmakers’ decisions. By “thinking like a bookmaker,” he identifies the nuances and complexities that others overlook. His low-volume, high-conviction strategy has produced historic results in the most competitive markets. NHL Streaks: Proven ability to capture momentum, including a personal record of 16 consecutive wins in 2020 and a 14-game win streak in 2021. NFL Run: In 2021, Matthew maintained a 67% win rate (12-6) on top-rated plays. Most impressively, 10 of those 12 winners were underdogs that won outright, showcasing his ability to find value where others see risk. Matthew St. John views sports handicapping as a long-term professional endeavor, not a get-rich-quick scheme. His commitment to a patient, disciplined approach is the cornerstone of his success: We only move when we absolutely love the board. If the edge isn’t there, we don’t force it. Discipline means never chasing losses or forcing a play just to have action. We risk our own hard-earned capital on every selection we release. This ensures that every recommendation is backed by the ultimate vote of confidence: if you lose, we lose. Matthew is thrilled to bring his disciplined, analytical approach to the Wizard Sports Picks team, where he remains committed to delivering high-conviction results for our members. For those seeking a calculated, unbiased, and highly selective path to profitability, Matthew St. John delivers the discipline required to beat the book.
