Background

2007 – TheRunningBack.com was launched as a private NFL sports picking website

We registered the domain “therunningback.com” and launched our website in 2007. Our site was originally launched as a private NFL sports picking website. Our two regisetered picking professionals were Darrick Glen Baxter from Winnipeg and Bradly Baxter from Vancouver. The site was later developed into a private blog sharing sports betting information. We decided to make our information available to the public for free.

2008 – Success with NFL Picks

As the site grew in 2008 we began offering our winning NFL pics to everyone. It was a success. We broke down weekly match-ups and discussed picks in detail with contributors.

2009 – 30,000 Readers A Month

It has grown to have over 30,000 readers a month. We’ve been continuously growing over the past year and plan to have 100,000 readers for the 2010 NFL and CFL season.
