Company Profile

Wizard Race & Sports is a Las Vegas–based sports betting consulting service and media platform catering to the serious horse racing and sports wagering community. Founded by legendary handicapper Michael “The Wizard” Kipness, the company has provided expert race selections, betting strategy, and analytics to bettors since the early 2000s. Wizard Race & Sports made a name in horse racing circles with its detailed tip sheets and speed figure analysis for major Thoroughbred tracks (Kipness’s picks were frequently featured in Daily Racing Form). In recent years, the outfit expanded to cover mainstream sports betting as legalization spread, offering NFL and NBA game picks, DFS (daily fantasy) advice, and odds breakdowns on its website and YouTube channel. The Wizard’s style is analytical yet accessible: he uses computer models and decades of experience to find value bets, then packages that insight into subscriptions and free podcasts for an audience of both novice and seasoned bettors. As sports wagering enters the U.S. mainstream, Wizard Race & Sports bridges old-school handicapping wisdom with modern data-driven analysis, all delivered with the Wizard’s signature flair (often clad in a lucky Wizard hat) that has made him a trusted brand in betting advice.
