James Tillman

Betting Preview Analyst/Contributor

James Tillman III is an experienced accounting professional who has spent 16 years honing his skills as a freelance writer.

In addition to his role as a betting preview analyst and contributor for OSB, his work has been showcased on platforms such as Godzilla Wins, GiveMeSport, Latest Basketball News, and FanSided. His expertise spans across the NBA, WNBA, and NFL, making him a knowledgeable voice in the world of sports.

In finance, it is essential to understand not just the numbers but also what the numbers mean. Given that perspective, I always seek the most prominent betting trends to support my selections for ATS, over/under, and player prop bets. Doing so demonstrates to the reader that you are taking your stance based on facts rather than merely giving an unsubstantiated opinion.
