Following Emphatic “First Pitch” Wins at SBC and G2E in 2021, SharpRank Unveils Plans for Further 2022 Expansion

SharpRank, the only independent sports betting rating agency, which leverages proprietary metrics, data science, and ratings to expand the total addressable market it services, announced two new product offerings today.  The company is onboarding both NBA and NHL picks as sport offerings in addition to its existing CFB and NFL personalities and podcasts that currently have coverage on the platform.  These new sports add to the depth and scope of the weekly overall sharp/media success ratings.  Both the NHL and NBA will have their own individual sport rankings (Ex. Top 10 NHL, Top 10 NBA) which will be announced weekly via the app and Twitter (@Sharp_Rank) and will culminate in the SharpRank Top 10 Overall cross-port ranking.  Additionally, SharpRank plans on adding MLB, NASCAR, and select PGA and Horse Racing events.  In anticipation of FIFA at the tail end of 2022 soccer will also likely be added.

“We were happy to see the attention our service received in 2021 as the industry continues to grow,” said Chris Adams, CEO of SharpRank.  “People see our proprietary ranking technology as a necessary and positive step in creating a more trustworthy and transparent market, so we are excited to continue to expand and offer new sports picks and rankings to further cover the market.”

SharpRank’s 2002 expansion follows a successful 2021 in which the company was awarded top prize at multiple industry conferences.  The company won first prize at the first ever SBC First Pitch competition presented by Wagers.com at the 2021 SBC Summit North America conference as well as at the G2E Global Gaming Expo Pitch Competition in October.  Finalists presented their company’s business plans to an esteemed panel of judges during each conference.  SBC’s panel was moderated by Business Insider sports betting and future of TV reporter, Ashley Rodriguez and judged by a panel of sports betting investment experts including:

“By helping to create a more transparent and trsutworthy market, SharpRank is unlocking the long tail casual consumer and enables financial market tie-ins. It would be difficult to trust a fund without a Morningstar rating – SharpRank is sportsbetting’s equivalent,” stated Chris Adams.  “Sports betting innovation is going to be vital in the expansion and sustainable growth of one of the fastest growing industries in America, and SharpRank aims to be at the forefront of its progress.”
