Are we to believe that these guys are expert enough on every sport known to man to make profitable wagers?
It may be easier than it sounds, what kills most people is the unwillingness to *not* bet. A serious analyst only puts down money on a handful of games.
That said, although according to the link you only pay out of profit (which is better than a hedge fund) that fee is 30% of profits - that's steep. And I'd want to know whether their claimed rate of return is net of fees, that wasn't clear.
A mild alarm bell is that they say they bet on the biggest events. I'd feel more comfortable if they bet on the lesser-known ones. But maybe they actually do and the talk about big events is just advertising.
So it could be legit but I'd want to know more.

I think they make a lot of their money on arbitraging and in-game hedging, if I remember right. Picking winners isn't the only concern
