For most kids, jumping from school right into military service would sound terrifying. But for these brothers and sons of a retired U.S. Air Force veteran, it was simply a way of life.
After high school, their paths diverged briefly: one enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, while the other attended the University of California, Irvine, for four years before joining the U.S. Army as an officer.
But after both serving for eight years (and reaching crazy impressive milestones), they were ready for a new challenge. Having come from the backgrounds they had, nothing was deemed too hard, scary, or impossible.
With degrees in marketing and business, the boys knew there was a better way to make money without compromising on time or location freedom, something so often sacrificed in the military.
So, they pivoted – to sports betting. Within one month, they’d built a six-figure empire.
Key takeaways:
- From military service to sports betting, the brothers used their business, marketing, and military discipline to build a six-figure empire.
- They launched Bravo Six Picks, offering high-quality sports picks, expert analysis, and a thriving community of over 7,000 active members.
- Their business grew to 6 figures in just one month, using Whop’s native tools and resources.
Swapping service for sports betting
Throughout their time in service, both brothers ticked off the educational goals they’d set for themselves going in: one obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration, and the other, a Master's in Marketing.
By this point, they had been serving for 8 years and decided to retire.
It wasn’t a decision either brother took lightly, but throughout their studies, they’d dreamed of embarking on their own entrepreneurial journey.
Even during their time in uniform, they were dreaming of the chance to finally start a business together.
Sure, the military has huge perks: job security, for one. Earning potential for another. But there were things it didn’t offer the boys, things they’d started to realize they valued even more than a fancy salary package.
They wanted to build something that was actually theirs. Something they were passionate about. Something that could help others thrive, too.
“We’ve always wanted to work together outside of the military,” they shared with us.
“The idea of combining our skills and building something of our own has always been a goal for us.”
That dream became a reality when they transitioned out of active duty and launched Bravo Six Picks, a premium sports betting business right here on Whop.
Why sell sports bets?
Put simply? Because the brothers love their sports. From fantasy leagues to college football games, it’s all covered on Bravo 6 Picks.
But digging a little deeper than passion? They knew it had the potential to make money.
Sports betting is hugely popular right now. Get this: the revenue generated from sports betting in the US increased from $400M in 2018 to over $11BN in 2023.
And as I said earlier, both bros hold degrees in business and marketing, so they know what’s up with info products: low overheads, no startup fees, and endless potential for growth.
Given their interest in sports, understanding of the sports betting game, and skillsets? The brothers were ready to kill it.
Before long, they’d built one of our biggest sports betting communities here on Whop.
Okay, so how does Bravo Six Picks work?
Essentially, Bravo Six Picks is a community for sports bettors to buy access to expertly curated predictions across a wide range of sports.

One thing is clear: these guys are meticulous about how they run Bravo Six Picks, as well as the standard they hold themselves and their team to.
Perhaps, this is a personality trait influenced by time in the military. Regardless, it’s a huge perk for their members.

So, you want to get into sports betting?
I mean, you’re in the right place.
But when you're new to sports betting, it can feel overwhelming. The jargon, the odds, the strategies — it’s a lot. But it doesn’t have to be.
At Whop, you’ve got access to some of the best sports betting communities and resources (like Bravo Six Picks) where you can learn from experts, make smarter bets, and start seeing results.
Plus, we have writers like Frankie Monkhouse, with over 10 years of experience writing about sports bets (I mean it – if you’re serious about making money from this, check his blogs out).
But before you dive into those resources, here are my top tips to maximize your sports betting odds as a beginner – see what I did there?
Learn the basics
Firstly, please do not start placing bets before you understand the fundamentals of sports betting.
This includes knowing how odds work, what types of bets you can place (I’m talking moneyline, spread, bankroll, etc.), and how to read statistics. Head to our blog for guides and resources that break it all down for beginners.
Getting the basics down will set you up for success later.
Understand the role of expert picks
One of the biggest advantages of joining a platform like Whop is gaining access to high-quality, expert-curated picks.
Instead of betting blindly, you’ll follow predictions from betting professionals who know the ins and outs of the game(s). As you know, B6P only works with experts who have proven win rates of 70% or higher.
With access to those kinds of picks, you’re learning from the best and increasing your chances of success.
Join a community of like-minded bettors
The sports betting journey can be more enjoyable (and profitable) when you're part of a community – Bravo Six Picks alone has over 7,000 active members who support each other and celebrate wins together.
I don’t care if you’re new to the game or if you’ve placed a hundred bets, being part of a community gives you access to real-time feedback and advice that helps you improve.
But more than that? It’s a great way to remain motivated and connected as you learn the ropes.
Look for real-time access to predictions
F*ck a static list of picks. With Whop, you get ongoing access to real-time insights, so you’re always in the know.
For example, when you join Bravo Six Picks, you’ll receive multiple daily updates on upcoming games, as well as in-depth analysis and expert picks.
Remember, the brothers are actively involved in their community. They share their own strategies, provide members with support, and are available to answer your questions, big or small.
Practice with low-risk bets
Guys, I shouldn’t have to say this – but I just know somebody out there needs to hear it:
Yes, huge money can be made from sports bets. I get it, it’s enticing AF. But if you’re still getting the hang of things? Please don’t jump in with huge bets right away.
A crucial part of learning sports betting is learning to properly manage risk – and this includes knowing when to walk away from bets that are beyond your means.
Take advantage of giveaways and promotions
Who likes free sh*t?! Me!
One of the best parts of being part of a community like Bravo Six Picks? The giveaways and promotions. When you join, you’re not just paying for picks — you’re gaining access to exclusive prizes and contests. They run frequent giveaways that keep things exciting and offer members even more opportunities to win.

FAQ
Wait, what is sports betting?
Sports betting involves placing wagers (bets) on the outcome of sports events. You can bet on a variety of outcomes, such as who will win a game, the score, or individual player performances.
You can even bet on fantasy leagues and eSports. It's a popular way for fans to engage with their favorite athletes, teams, and sports – and potentially earn money by predicting the results correctly.
How do sports betting odds work?
Odds represent the probability of a specific outcome occurring.
They also determine how much money you can win if you place a successful bet. The three most common types of odds are fractional (e.g., 5/1), decimal (e.g., 6.00), and moneyline (e.g., +500).
Understanding odds is crucial for making informed bets. Check out our crash course on understanding betting odds for newbies.

Beyond that, we recommend joining a dedicated sports betting community like Bravo Six Picks, where you can follow expert predictions and discuss strategies. This will also accelerate your learning curve.
What are expert picks in sports betting?
Expert picks are recommendations made by experienced sports bettors who have a proven track record.
These picks are based on in-depth research, statistical analysis, and trends in the sport.

This will increase your chances of placing successful bets and making informed decisions.

Sports betting can be profitable, but it requires strategy, knowledge, and discipline.
Successful bettors study the game, understand the odds, and use expert picks to maximize their chances of winning. While it’s definitely one of the more fun and exciting ways to make money online, it's important to manage your risks and start with low stakes until you're confident.
