About PredictionMarketsPicks
PredictionMarketsPicks is an independent prediction-market analysis platform, founded in 2025 by Benny Ricciardi. It runs as one thing in two layers: PredictionMarketsPicks is the website and data layer — the quant tools, the edge engines, the MCP server and the graded record. The 7 Oracles is the media and analysis layer, started by Nando Di Fino, Gene Clemons, Dane Martinez and Christopher Manzo.
We cover Kalshi, Polymarket, DraftKings Predictions and FanDuel Predicts. We are not an exchange, we do not take the other side of anything you trade, and we have no position in the markets we write about.
Ownership & funding
PredictionMarketsPicks is owned and operated by Benny Ricciardi. It is funded by Pro subscriptions ($14.99 a month or $150 a year) and by referral commissions from the platforms we link to, disclosed on every outbound link. No platform pays for coverage, a rating or a position, and no signal is selected or suppressed based on where it routes.
How the record is graded
Every algorithmic signal and every Play of the Day is written down before resolution, graded automatically against the actual settlement, and never edited afterward — including the engines that lost money. The full ledger, with per-tool P/L, is public at /track-record.
Corrections
When we get a fact wrong we correct it in place and set a visible “Updated” date on the piece. Graded results are never revised. Send a correction or feedback to support@predictionmarketspicks.com.

The Team
Meet the Team →Nando is one of the most decorated fantasy sports editors in the industry. He ran the entire fantasy sports vertical at The Athletic as Managing Editor, building out coverage for every major sport. Before that, he held editorial and analyst roles at ESPN, CBS, The Wall Street Journal — where he was the first writer ever to cover fantasy sports for the paper — MLB Network, and SiriusXM.
His career started in the most on-brand way possible — as a researcher on the bestselling fantasy sports book Fantasy Life. Since then, Nando has been a multi-award winning writer, analyst, host, and producer. He previously served as Managing Editor at Fantasy Life.
He brings decades of editorial judgment and sharp analysis to prediction markets. If there's a number that doesn't smell right, Nando will find it.
Benny built PredictionMarketsPicks because he was tired of watching people trade prediction markets like they were scratching lottery tickets. With a career spanning fixed income trading, fantasy sports, sports analytics, and media, he brings a rare mix of quantitative instinct and content chops to every market he touches.
Before launching PMP, Benny ran 4Deep Sports as CEO and led marketing at FTN Network as CMO, where he helped build one of the most respected names in fantasy sports and sports analytics media; he also served as Managing Director at FTNBets. A two-time FSWA award winner and FSGA Radio Show of the Year winner for co-hosting "On Target" on FNTSY Radio and SportsGrid, he's written for DraftKings Playbook, RotoWire, the Denver Gazette, and more. He's also a published author of two fantasy sports books.
When he's not finding edges in prediction markets, he's probably arguing about baseball WAR, rewatching old Sopranos episodes, or explaining to his family that trading prediction markets is a real job as long as you win.
Gene has spent over 30 years in football as a player, coach, evaluator, and journalist. He currently serves as Head Football Coach at T.W. Josey High School in Augusta, GA — where he snapped a 19-game losing streak in his first game on the sideline. He previously coached at Urbana University at the college level before returning to the high school game.
Off the field, he's one of the sharpest football analysts in the content space — writing for Sports Illustrated Giants Country and The Athletic, hosting the "A Giant Issue" podcast, and creating the "X&O The Joes" film study series. He doesn't analyze football from a stats sheet; he's drawn up the plays, coached the players, and understands the game at a schematic level. That depth shows every time he breaks down a football-related prediction market.
Gene holds a BA in Journalism from Arkansas Tech and a Master's in Education from Urbana University. He also teaches English, Journalism, and Drama — so yes, the man can break down a cover-2 scheme and a Shakespeare sonnet in the same afternoon.
Dane has been a fixture in sports media for years, most notably as a host on SiriusXM, SNY, and SportsGrid, where he hosted a variety of shows — always bringing substance and sharp analysis to every segment.
He's the kind of broadcaster who can break down a market move, explain the impact of a roster scratch, and make you laugh — all in the same segment. His deep knowledge of sports markets and ability to communicate complex ideas in plain English makes him the perfect voice for prediction market analysis.
Dane brings credibility, charisma, and a genuinely sharp sports mind to every episode of The 7 Oracles.
You might know Chris from Bravo's The Real Housewives of New Jersey and the spin-off Manzo'd with Children. But if that's all you know, you're missing the bigger picture. Chris is a serial entrepreneur who has built and operated multiple successful businesses, including Tenth Street Pasta & Pizza in Hoboken — named one of New Jersey's 20 best restaurants by NJ.com.
He co-founded BLK Beverages, co-owned Little Town NJ, and has been involved in hospitality and business ventures for over a decade. That entrepreneurial instinct — pattern recognition, risk management, knowing when to go big and when to step back — translates directly to prediction markets.
Chris brings a unique perspective to the team: someone who's built businesses, navigated high-pressure decisions, and isn't afraid to take a position.
