The Antony Dinero handicapping brand is owned and operated by Tony Mejia, who is a veteran analyst and columnist in the online sports industry.
 
Born in New York, Mejia grew up immersed in the games athletes play and took to telling people who would win the game and accurately predicting point spreads very early in life, taking notes and keeping track of predictions for as long as he can remember. As often happens with these type of skills, they're perfected over the years and combined with new technologies and stats analysis to create the services available today.
 
Mejia ended up going into the writing game professionally and has been to many of the venues that these contests take place in, factoring in past experiences and observations into some of his plays because he's of the belief that some of these things simply go in cycles.
 
He believes that handicappers serve the same purpose as stock brokers, guiding you in the right direction in regards to your investment and puts out a higher volume of picks than most because he'll never deny his patrons one of his leans if he can help it. He aggressively seeks out advantages in the wagering game by absorbing information and dissecting angles, remaining aware of trends without letting it cloud his judgment as the end-all, be-all.
 
His documented handicapping career started while he was a senior writer at CBSSportsline.com with the popular feature "Mejia's Selections."
 
At first, Mejia's Selections met some resistance. How can anyone make so many predictions? Every game? Every night? The accuracy opened some eyes, increased traffic. It got sponsored. Playing bracketologist became a part of his role in addition to producer, and his success doing that was well-documented.
 
While working at CBSSportsline.com, Mejia engaged in talks with management at VegasInsider.com, who was a sister site of CBS prior to its sale in 2003.
 
He ultimately joined their team but under the pseudonym Antony Dinero, due to compliance issues within the corporate settings at CBS.
 
Mejia is now an independent columnist and handicapper exclusively for VegasInsider.com, which is very rare for any individual in this industry to say these days.
 
His handicapping approach is still questioned and the volume of his selections even has his superiors at VI scratching their heads but one thing is assured, no questions will ever be asked about his documented winning records.
 
Mejia’s style is simple but consuming. He believes watching is the key, whether picks are working out or failing. You never turn it off.

Why are there always so many picks? Well, because he never wants anyone to feel cheated. He typically puts out multiple picks daily. Premium plays are heavy leans, Member picks should be perceived as locks and his Guaranteed winner is his top play of the day.
 
He believes there are so many angles available and there might be a tinge of a personal desire to make up for a missed day of work sprinkled in there, but every pick is researched and has not only a basis, but a projected score and analysis.
 
How does he successfully handicap so many sports? Again, it's consuming but Mejia believes that if you work hard at something, you'll be rewarded. Basketball is his first love but his loyalties to football, soccer and baseball are just as strong.
 
Along with being a documented winning prognosticator, Mejia’s true love is writing and providing valuable insight to readers.
