Big Mike's Sports Network
Mike has been part of the Sports and Gaming industry since 1986, starting his career with National Sports Services. With BS degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics from California State University at Northridge, he used his programming and analytical skills to develop programs predicting sports outcomes—well before modern analytics and AI.
Nicknamed "The Network" by ESPN radio broadcaster Zig “Ziggy” Fracasi, Mike became known for his detailed sports analysis and betting strategies. In 1987, he created the MLB Pitcher Fast Facts file, which was featured in over 70 newspapers across the U.S. and Canada.
Mike also applied his predictive skills to win Station Casinos' mini NFL contest, securing a $10,000 grand prize. Now, he shares his personal sports picks online, including his Sports Network Computer Play.
