Chris has always had a passion for three things: solving problems, sports, and writing. It’s no wonder then that he found himself attracted to the sports betting industry. You can find Chris betting every day. Whether it’s shot prop markets in Champions League Soccer qualifiers or NBA Summer League, he has no offseason. As an EV+ bettor, he especially values the insight gained through a data-driven approach.

His work has been featured on various websites such as SBNation, Rivals, Bleacher Report, and 247Sports. He has appeared on radio outlets such as ESPN 680 and The Sharp 600 podcast. You can listen to his own podcast, “What High School Did You Go To?” on Apple Podcast and Soundcloud.

Chris has carved out a niche as a college basketball originator with massive profitability success in that sport and stresses one piece of advice to sports bettors: exploit edges as broadly as possible and take advantage of them while they last. His preferred sportsbook is bet365 because of the range of markets you can find.

May 23, 2025 • 2:44 PM ET

With Miles Mikolas finding his way as the season progresses, the St. Louis Cardinals get a lift of confidence when he's on the mound and that should be the energy in their series start against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

May 21, 2025 • 2:17 PM ET

May 13, 2025 • 6:23 PM ET

Max Fried has been that guy for the New York Yankees and as the second game of their series against the Seattle Mariners takes off at T-Mobile Park, the M's are an ideal team for Fried to keep the heat coming.

Yankees vs Mariners Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today’s MLB Game

May 12, 2025 • 3:03 PM ET
