Chief Writer, Fact Checker

A former soccer writer, coach and scout, I’m also a cryptocurrency expert who tries to fight analytics with rational thinking in my betting selections.

I find that pouring over the statistics can be useful in certain prop markets, but the real money is made deep in the season when three injury reports are extensive and role players are forced to take centre stage. This is specially true in football where I know a defense is going to take away the main receiving threat - someone else will step up and have a 100 yard game, it’s just figuring out who.

Now I can move quickly with crypto betting, live betting has become a particular favorite. Sometimes I watch a game and you can just feel big mo starting to shift. Other times I just accept that Tom Brady is on the field and the +1100 odds were too good to pass up - even when 28-3 down.

There’s no joy, no prizes and no pride in selecting overwhelming favorites. My picks are a mix of analytics and feelings to find outcomes that are just good value. Usually I’m right too!
