Big Mike reads MLB, NFL/CFB, and NBA/WNBA all day and texts you the play in iMessage: what to bet, at what number, and which book has it. July Record: 115-68, +21.4 units. Every pick graded in public, no deleted losers. Star ruled out? Trade drops? He texts you what it does to the line. Add him to the group chat and the whole crew hears it at once. Fair warning: he stirs up banter. Link your Sleeper or ESPN league and the start/sit calls are about your roster. Ask Big Mike.
There's never a shortage of sports mania. The blockbuster trades, the season-derailing injuries, or just a late-season underdog catching a 10-game hot streak. There's always something moving....
What's missing is a way to filter out the noise before kickoffs, tip-offs, or the first pitch...
That's why you need to "Ask Big Mike", your tailored, personal sports companion that texts you (iMessage) daily updates on:
The latest on your favorite teams, hot off the press
Real-time injuries and lineup changes before game time
Custom fantasy adjustments for your actual roster
Big Mike's Read, his best picks of the day
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Michael, founder of Big Mike! 🐻
I've been a sports fan my whole life, tracking the latest news across multiple teams, players, and games in a single day. And for years I watched friends tail "experts" whose betting records nobody could actually verify....
That never sat right with me. So I built Big Mike: your favorite sports companion, texting you morning, evening, or night with the latest changes and the plays worth making across the NFL, CFB, MLB, WNBA, and NBA.
Ask him anything, like "hey big mike, how do we feel about the cubs against the pirates today?" and he'll tell you where the value is and why.
He handles the whole day, not just the bets. An overnight trade drops, a starter tweaks a hamstring in warmups, your flex on your fantasy team suddenly questionable. Big Mike catches it and texts you before it matters, so you're never the last one in the group chat to know.
He's in your fantasy league too. Inactive alerts before lineup lock, start/sit off his own projections, and weekly recaps with the roast included. (Football season loading...)
He can be added to any existing group chat. Add him to the crew's iMessage chat and he keeps up with who said what, answers each of you on your own terms, and drops slips right into the conversation. It should make watching with your crew more fun, not more homework.
When he does call a play, he shows his work. Big Mike builds his own price for every game from the ground up, only steps in when the market's price is provably wrong, and grades himself against the closing line, not just wins and losses. One companion in your texts, with a public record he can't go back and edit.
Every pick is graded in public. His record is just the number: 141–89 (61.3%) on his best plays for the day and counting. Every call dated, timed, and kept in the app forever. Losses sitting right next to the wins. Nothing gets deleted.
It's a live board, not a static list. The app lays out the day by game time (live now, locking soon, tonight, tomorrow) with live scores, how the lines have moved, and closing-line value on everything he's already graded.
Who's Big Mike for?
If you follow a few teams, ride a fantasy league, and maybe bet casually with a group chat full of opinions, this one's built for you. Big Mike shows his work, texts you back like he's part of the squad, and keeps you on top of the latest around the league.
P.S - Bring the crew while you're at it, every friend who joins your squad drops the price for everyone....and you could be missing out on 50% off for everyone right now!
Making Big Mike part of the group chat is such a fun product decision. Sports predictions are already social, so having the “uncle who always has a take” actually join the conversation feels much more natural than opening another betting app.
in a group chat how does he decide when to speak and when to stay out? thats the part id have got wrong. one bot in a busy thread gets muted fast if it answers everything.
the injury and lineup alerts could be really useful during those last few minutes before a game starts.
I think we are close to getting jackpots in casino games. My dad started using AI for predictions in lottery btw. :D
Big Mike’s transparent record feels refreshing, finally someone showing wins and losses. Congratulations!
Love the idea of turning sports updates into a group-chat experience. The public track record and transparent grading make this especially interesting. 🚀
What stands out to me is that Big Mike isn't just another betting picks app—it combines news, injuries, fantasy, and betting into one conversational experience. The public record is a nice touch too. Great launch
Really interesting concept! The combination of real-time injury alerts, fantasy advice, and betting picks in iMessage feels super practical. Curious—are WhatsApp or Telegram versions on the roadmap?
