Our Manifesto

I have a dream. Well actually a couple of dreams (I’m a sound sleeper). And yes, my dream is deeply rooted in the American Dream. That one day, I’d be able to make something tangible, a product that people from all over would buy and say to themselves or to their neighbor, “This is awesome. My life is better with this product.”

My best friend of 30 years, Howie Wizwer, also has this dream. So we created the company Okdub, and began working on our My Sports Picks suite of apps. And over the past 9 months, we have spent countless nights and weekends turning our dream into reality. My Sports Picks – Football 09 and My Sports Picks – Baseball 09. are both live and available in the iTunes App Store.

We set out with a simple goal: We wanted to build a product that would let sports fans make picks against live odds, track their wagers and office pools through a very easy to use interface, and manage their profits across sports.

But with 70,000 apps, there’s definitely competition. We’re up against other app companies with deep pockets and a team of developers just churning out feature after feature. But for all the apps that let a user make picks, tracks picks, and manage profit, no app comes close. Our app is the finest out there.

To turn this dream from a good dream to a fantastic dream, we need the help from you, our My Sports Picks fans. Fans, you can help us compete with the big boys by buying our app, spreading the word to your friends, and letting us know how we can improve our app. We already have several features in the planning stage, including a publish-your-picks feature so your friends or customers can see your picks, email your picks, view our Expert Picks through our app, and soon we’ll have My Sports Picks for Pro and College basketball.

Perhaps we haven't developed the combustible engine, sliced bread, or even the peanut (really George Washington Carver? Invented the peanut? Really?). But we're proud of our product, and hope using our product will make your life just a little better!

Thanks fans!!

Sincerely,

Ari Kolker, Co-Founder OKdub
