Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Charlie was introduced to football betting by playing parlay cards or what they called tickets at the age of 13. In 1981, Charlie was off to Las Vegas to enroll at UNLV- not exactly the Ivy league, but a great place to learn about the Sports Betting world. During these years Charlie worked for various Sports Services, and private Professional Sports Bettors and made his own wagers.

After working for a few years on the other side of the counter, Charlie decided that he was finished chasing degenerate gamblers and friends all over town for money. So in 1998 Charlie put all of his energy and time back into sports handicapping and picking winners, his first love. Charlie started his own website, www.charliescottsports.com in 2006, and has won numerous handicapping titles documented at www.sports-watch.com and www.lasvegassportsmonitor.com specializing in the NFL, NCAA Football and Basketball, with an emphasis on Totals. From August through May of every year, Charlie's focus is strictly on handicapping ( I don't have a life ) and this, combined with hard work and luck, has allowed me to live a pretty comfortable lifestyle.
