ASAwins Service Options

We are commonly referred to across the internet as ASA, ASAwins, ASA Inc or American Sports Analysts. Below is a little history on our company and how ASAwins came to be.

Meet the Expert Sports Handicappers Behind ASAwins

Lee Kostroski and Mike Merlet, owners of American Sports Analysts (ASAwins), have handicapped professionally since 1986. Both learned the trade at Doc’s Enterprises—Lee in the late 1980s and Mike in the early 1990s. They launched ASA Inc. in 1997 and have delivered consistent results ever since.

Proven Success on Big Games

Lee and Mike built their reputation on big games. Their signature 10* Midwest Game of the Year highlights this focus. They posted a winning record on top games in 17 of 24 football seasons. This track record earns them recognition as the top big game handicappers in the country.

ASAwins operates from Madison, Wisconsin. Their handicapping strength centers on the heart of the country—especially Big Ten matchups.

Media Appearances and Industry Recognition

ASAwins has appeared as special expert football guests on radio shows across the country. These include markets in Tampa, New Orleans, Madison, Milwaukee, Memphis, Las Vegas, and Denver. In 2011, ESPN featured them on its website with gaming writer Chad Millman. Mike is also currently featured on the Mark Belling podcast.

A Multi-Layered Handicapping Approach

ASAwins’ methods evolved through years of hard work and research. Unlike handicappers who rely on one system, Lee and Mike blend multiple philosophies. They cover football, basketball, hockey, and baseball selections.

They draw from a massive database spanning over 30 years. This resource supplies in-depth data on nearly any situation. They also review stats and film each week to evaluate upcoming matchups. Personal contacts across the country—especially in the Midwest—add further insight.

They analyze point spreads and line movements against their own power ratings. This process helps them spot edges. Predictive analytics and math models then forecast outcomes using pure numbers and statistics, free from human bias.The

ASA Stamp of Approval

A game may fit a successful system or look strong on the schedule. Yet ASAwins never selects it automatically. Every pick must pass their full in-depth process. Only then does it earn the ASA stamp of approval.

This multi-angle approach delivers the best of all worlds in sports handicapping. Their theories have proven successful for decades. As a result, they rank among the most tenured experts in the industry.
