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.

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.
Am I understanding correctly that you’ve integrated with Polymarket and Kalshi?)
@natalia_iankovych yes - you can link your accounts and track all of your bets in the app
I think we are close to getting jackpots in casino games. My dad started using AI for predictions in lottery btw. :D
Love the idea of turning sports updates into a group-chat experience. The public track record and transparent grading make this especially interesting. 🚀
@angelaaa Thanks Angela! 🚀 The group-chat experience is really the core idea behind Big Mike. We wanted sports updates and advice to show up naturally where you’re already talking with friends, instead of making you constantly jump between apps.
@angelaaa Always felt that accountability & transparency we qualities lost in the process with other comparable apps out there - which Big Mike has proven so far to be consistently correct in finding value with his picks and analysis each day.
Don't get me wrong, Big Mike will have some down days, but over the long run so far, he's proven to come out on top!
@odeth_negapatan1 Thank you!
