What is a Handicapper when it comes to the game of football?

The football handicapper is the person who estimates outcomes of football matches.

Handicappers often charge for their services. Good handicappers are valuable as following their predictions can be profitable when betting on games.

The term Handicapping is derived from hand-in-cap, an old lottery game where bets are placed in a cap.
