Q&A with Christian
How did you get into sports betting?
As an account executive, I looked after technology clients and eventually found my way into iGaming. I loved the fast-paced nature and the entertainment aspect, not to mention the thrill of sweating bets while watching your favourite team.
Did you play sports growing up?
I played a variety of sports growing up, including soccer and basketball. I eventually focused my efforts on sailing and skiing, attending international competitions and ultimately began to coach both.
What do you look for in a sportsbook?
I want a supreme user experience; intuitive, no lag, and a variety of betting options. The ability to live stream in-app and daily boosts are an added bonus.
What's your best advice for sports bettors?
There's nothing more important than bankroll management. You can't succeed and hone your abilities if you're not in action.
I strongly suggest absorbing as much content as possible before placing a wager. Tap in with Covers' experts that specialize in your sport of choice, like Jason Logan with the NFL, or Jon Metler with the NBA.
