Sports handicapper. Data analyst. Founder of ATS Stats and the AI Pick League. Sharing free picks and betting trends since 1998.
Ron Raymond has been tracking sports betting trends since 1998, when he launched ATS Stats — one of the longest-running free sports betting stats sites on the internet. For over 25 years he has published daily picks, trend reports, and game analysis across the NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB, and CFL, all completely free.
In 2026, Ron launched the AI Pick League (AIPL) — the world’s first verified AI sports handicapper competition. The AIPL pits 58 AI-driven capper models against each other in a fully transparent, publicly tracked league where every pick, every result, and every record is open to anyone. No hidden records. No cherry-picked wins. Just data.
Ron’s philosophy is simple: transparency over hype. In a sports betting world full of touts selling picks and hiding losses, ATS Stats and the AIPL were built to give bettors real information at no cost.
The AI Pick League (AIPL) is Ron Raymond’s most ambitious project — a fully verified sports handicapper league powered entirely by AI capper models. Ron created the AIPL to answer a question that’s been nagging the sports betting world for years: what would it look like if every handicapper’s record was 100% public?
The Raymond Report is Ron Raymond’s daily sports betting podcast covering NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB, and CFL. Ron breaks down the day’s best betting angles, key trends, and his top picks — all backed by data from ATS Stats.
The Raymond Report has been a go-to free resource for sports bettors looking for honest, data-driven picks without the upsell. No premium tiers. No paid pick packages. Just Ron’s straight analysis every day of the season.
