C Jackson Cowart is the Senior Publishing Editor at Sportsbook Review, specializing in NFL and NASCAR betting while helping lead the team's coverage of college sports and major events like the Super Bowl and March Madness. In his seven years covering sports betting as a predictive analyst, features writer, and industry reporter, he has stayed true to "process over results" while specifically targeting futures betting and news-driven markets, where he can lean on advanced metrics and an understanding of market psychology to attack value before the number moves. His favorite sportsbook is FanDuel for its clean interface and ease of use, though he finds some of his best value bets at Caesars and bet365, especially for NASCAR. An award-winning writer and editor with a decade of experience in sports media, "C-Jax" has worked with ESPN, Forbes, theScore, and multiple large daily newspapers before joining SBR in 2023. He's a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina, where he covered the Tar Heels' championship run through the 2017 NCAA men's basketball tournament. He's cashed some big tickets over the years — including Lamar Jackson to win MVP (twice) — but he's still haunted by enough second-place slips to wallpaper his home office.

Rob is a Publishing Editor and Analyst at Sportsbook Review. He’s been with the team since early 2024. Rob's main focus is collegiate sports, specifically college football and college basketball. He uses a combination of advanced stats and film to find betting value, and aims to exploit specific matchups with plus-money player props. A college sports junky, Rob's betting process tends to revolve around which games he plans on watching on a given day/week. He begins the day/week by looking at the college football/basketball schedule and making a list of what he plans on watching before diving into advanced numbers to help inform how to bet each matchup. Typically, Rob bets at FanDuel and bet365, as they tend to offer a wider array of player props. Rob loves the way sports betting can act as a catalyst for telling stories and growing interest in certain sports, particularly Group of Six and FCS football, WNBA, and mid-major college basketball. Before joining SportsbookReview.com, he contributed to various sports outlets, including FanSided and Pro Football Network, building his college football and NFL experience and expertise while working as a full-time local community journalist. Rob values the way sports betting acts as a catalyst for telling stories and growing interest in certain sports, particularly FCS football, WNBA, and mid-major college basketball. He’s always been drawn to the more obscure teams and conferences in major college sports, but most of all, Rob loves using stats to find the best player props to back.

Sean Tomlinson has been in the sports media wilderness since 2009, and he joined Sportsbook Review in 2021. His work has been referenced in The New York Times and Forbes. He's also made appearances on The Fan 590 and TSN 1050, where he shared his NFL experience and expertise. Sean is a regular bettor who places bets daily while using a handful of books. Most frequently, he leans on FanDuel and bet365 due to the quality experience on those apps. The NFL, MLB, and F1 are where Sean often focuses, frequently while trying to identify value in prop markets. During baseball season, he can be found scouring for the best strikeout prop opportunities every morning. Sean also holds a strong interest in politics, including the wide variety of offerings from prediction markets, especially during the buildup to elections and the primary season beforehand. He sees betting as a way to explore and engage in a deeper way, and takes that same view to his work. He plays poker periodically too, and is an avid fantasy sports player. Sean also previously spent time with Bleacher Report and theScore, all after earning his media studies degree from the University of Guelph-Humber.

Gary Pearson has written professionally since 2010, focusing on sports betting since 2014. Gary, who consumes sports like a blue whale devours plankton, specializes in writing about the NFL, hockey, and soccer, focusing on player props, game predictions, and futures plays. Most often utilizing FanDuel and bet365, the latter of which usually provides better early odds, he looks for a perfect-storm combo of in-form players who fare historically well against the opponent in question. He has contributed to the Canadian Press, FanSided, The Hockey Writers, The Hockey News, The Calgary Herald, and other publications. He studied at various post-secondary institutions, including the University of Calgary, SAIT Polytechnic, and Griffith University, located in Brisbane, Australia.

His work has appeared across the USA Today Network, Gambling.com Group, and Athlon Sports. With more than a decade of sports betting experience, Corey is familiar with all types of operators, from regulated sportsbooks to less conventional platforms, though he primarily uses Pinnacle and FanDuel. While he rarely bets parlays anymore - unless they are clearly mispriced - his biggest win came from a seven-team parlay at +13675 odds. Corey visits Las Vegas multiple times a year. His favorite resort is the Wynn/Encore, though he can be found at any sportsbook offering an off-market number.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike leans on his NFL experience and always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”

Phil has covered sports betting since 2016 and has been sharing his NFL experience with SportsBook Review since 2022. He previously hosted the College Football Pick 'Em podcast for CanesInsight.com. He is always looking for value, especially on lines that just seem too good to be true. His belief is that if a line doesn't make sense just assume oddsmakers know something you don't. He also loves in-season futures. There is so much value to be had as the public overreacts weekly. Bettors tend to forget just how long NFL and college football seasons are. After all, the Green Bay Packers were 2-5 in 2023 and they made it to the Divisional Round. When deciding where to bet, it comes down to value over everything. +100 is always better than -110. An alumnus of The U, Phil always holds out hope that the next head coach will be the one who turns the football program around. He is also a diehard Detroit Lions fan and is willing to forgive Dan Campbell for forgetting that a kicker can be useful.

Shane Thurston has been writing for Sportsbook Review since 2022, though his passion for sports, writing, and betting runs much longer than that. He graduated from the University of Kansas with a journalism degree in 2017 and has been covering sports ever since, working for MLB.com, Manhattan Mercury, Lawrence Journal-World, WynnBET, Bet Chicago Sports, BetNOLA, and BetMGM. Thurston cares about creating quality sports betting content above all else. He uses NFL experience, a mixture of models, information, film, analysis, and a top-down approach to locate every best bet shared for SBR. He never gives out a pick that he wouldn’t be willing to spend his own money on. Thurston is focused on finding +EV bets on a daily basis for a variety of sports such as NCAAF, NCAAB, NFL, NBA, WNBA, and MLB. He usually bets on props but is willing to wager on a spread or total when there is an edge. Don’t ask him how many bets he has placed on a typical college football Saturday. Thurston doesn’t care if you follow him on social media, but his Twitter account has info on how you can follow his bets through multiple third-party platforms. He just wants you to read all the great work from the SBR team.

Cody Saftic has been a contributing member in the mixed martial arts (MMA) betting community since launching his first show "Bookie Beatdown" in April 2014. Since then, he has provided analysis for a variety of publications, including DraftKings, Prize Picks, CoolBet, and Fight Network, among others. Also a founding member of the popular "Dog or Pass Podcast" Cody has been involved in almost every aspect of MMA over the last decade, from promoting and managing fighters to matchmaking, where he currently holds a number of positions within the Canadian regional landscape. Aside from working with Canada's top fighters such as Mike Malott, Kyle Nelson, and Serhiy Sidey on their way up to the UFC, he is most known for his parlay predictions, having established himself as a popular handicapper after a string of high-profile scores on Twitter in 2021. Most people dabble in multiple sports, but not Cody Saftic. He has a singular focus on combat sports and devotes the majority of his time to scouting new talent and finding potential edges in both the boxing and mixed martial arts world. A graduate of the College of Sports Media's broadcasting program in Toronto, he has covered fights professionally in a variety of different places, including Montreal, New York, Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi, and most recently Nashville, where he serves as the play-by-play broadcaster for Aries Fight Series. Cody believes that spending an extensive amount of time behind the scenes with the athletes over the years gives him a better understanding of small edges the betting public often overlooks. Fortune favours the prepared, and with no stone left unturned, he hopes to provide rewarding analysis to anyone following along.

Gordon Brunt is a freelance contributor specializing in soccer at Sportsbook Review. With 15 years of experience in sports media, Gordon has honed his craft at some of Canada’s top media outlets.

During his time with The FAN 590, Gordon also worked as a reporter for Total Soccer Magazine. In 2014, Gordon started an 11-year career with theScore. As a news editor at theScore, he was initially tasked with writing news for North America’s biggest leagues before becoming a member of theScore’s inaugural soccer content team. Having written about every major soccer tournament and Europe’s top domestic leagues for 10 years, Gordon has developed a good sense of where to find value in the soccer betting market. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like to live on the edge sometimes. Although he’ll forever avoid “shots on target” bets after getting burned by Kylian Mbappe. Gordon loves bet365's first goalscorer market after a brief hot spell to begin the 2022 World Cup. Along with soccer, Gordon also likes to bet on baseball, football, basketball, golf, and… darts.

Brenden looks to reference FanDuel for his sports betting articles because of its consistently competitive odds on parlays. FanDuel's boost offerings are also customer-friendly, and its odds on the NFL Same Game Parlay articles he's written for SBR have historically been consistently competitive compared to other books.

While the public chases box scores, he’s dissecting the leverage, scheme, and institutional mechanics that actually move the needle. Based in the UK but fluent in Football, the NBA, MLB, and College Basketball. With a degree in Film and Media, he translates dense performance data into sharp, high-stakes narratives - a style that has earned him citations in Bloomberg, Axios, and Sports Illustrated.

Connor Cooper has written about sports in various capacities for more than 20 years, including as a newspaper reporter, sports handicapper, and betting analyst. He originates hockey plays every day throughout the NHL season, regularly bets his own opinions based on NFL experience and college football, and relies on handicappers he trusts to find daily action in basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, and golf. A diehard Maple Leafs and Blue Jays fan growing up in the Toronto area, Connor quickly shed all his allegiances once he realized that making money betting on sports was much more fun than cheering for his favorite team. Connor won’t hesitate to bet on — or against — anybody if that’s where the value lies. In addition to analyzing recent and season-long statistics, Connor always looks to account for the human element when breaking down games, weighing situational and motivational factors into his handicapping process. He's also a big believer in finding creative ways to generate more value, constantly scouring BetMGM, Caesar, FanDuel, and other regulated sportsbooks' derivative markets such as team totals, alternate lines, and player props.

Matt MacKay has handicapped golf, the NFL, NCAAF, and NHL since joining the sports betting industry as a writer in 2020. He’s worked for several prominent sites, recently expanding his coverage to include sports betting news and the regulatory industry. Bringing a background in communications and writing, earning a Masters Degree in Organizational Communication from Ohio University, Matt has co-hosted a fantasy football and sports betting podcast, while continuously refining his handicapping methods. This includes identifying recent trends, head-to-head statistics, and comparing individual and team strengths and weaknesses to accurately predict the outcome in certain betting markets before a game or event. He’s a daily bettor and tends to wager on FanDuel, with DraftKings and Hard Rock Bet as preferred sports betting app alternatives. An avid researcher, writer, editor, and podcaster, Matt is eager to dig into matchups to offer readers and subscribers value on his picks. He’s a big proponent of building bankroll by avoiding poor betting habits and tendencies, like chasing losses, placing too many wagers, and managing bankroll. His worst beats to date both came on two separate NFL parlays, losing due to Tyreek Hill and A.J. Brown dropping passes. NRFIs have quickly become one of Matt’s favorite betting markets, recently diving into MLB game props.

Brian Robin is a theatre public relations director, former public relations consultant for Santa Anita Park and former media director for numerous professional golf events, where he once interviewed Jack Nicklaus as the golf legend hung from the back of a cart coming down a steep hill.

He’s written for Card Player Magazine, Online Gambling and iGamingPlayer, along with the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Daily News, Orange County Register, Riverside Press-Enterprise and California Freemason Magazine, among others. When not rooting for the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Kings, Arsenal and his alma mater of Cal State Fullerton, Brian remembers he’s a one-day JEOPARDY! Champion who is the dumbest person in his family.

His favorite markets to research and bet include golf outrights and NFL touchdown scorers, where he looks for edges in pricing differences, and player skill sets against the opponent (or golf course).

Ethan Diamandas is a contributor to Sportsbook Review with over five years of experience in the sports and gaming industry.

His bylines can be found in Sports Illustrated, MLB.com, and Yahoo Sports, among others. Ethan lives for UFC pay-per-views, whether it’s cooking up a prelim parlay or tossing a few units on a main-event underdog. While bet365 is his usual go-to for its prop selection, he shops around at FanDuel, BetMGM, and other top books to lock in the best value. Ethan believes the key to betting success is doing your research, staying patient, and only wagering on markets you truly understand. The off-the-cuff five-leg parlay looks fun but seldom pays off. Above all, his goal is to entertain and inform readers by blending sharp insights with a passion for the game.

Robert M. Criscola’s first foray into the sports betting landscape was a freelance job at MetroBet, covering many sports from a wagering angle, including horse racing. His analysis of “The Sport of Kings” continued at shapperdacapper.com, danonymousracing.com, and informer.fanxt.com. He joined TwinSpires Edge in 2019 as a contributor and weekend editor until the site shut down in 2022. "Crisco" began writing game previews for Covers.com soon after, and he later joined the editing team at both Covers and SBR in 2023. In addition to horse racing, where he believes the only thing better than having the winner is hitting the exacta, Criscola loves betting on baseball, football, and hockey. He enjoys going beyond the basic moneyline and total bets and investing in player props, where he believes the savvy bettor who knows how to shop around can get the best bang for their buck. But his best advice for sports bettors is something he’s believed for a long time: bet with your head, not over it."

Themistoklis Alexis has specialized in MMA- and boxing-specific sports betting for the past several years, having joined Sportsbook Review in early 2022. An avid bettor himself, he routinely places his bets with the especially user-friendly bet365, DraftKings for its array of prop lines, and/or FanDuel for its ever-compelling odds. Before coming to SBR, Themistoklis spent another few years covering the MMA beat at theScore, contributing everything from news stories to features to comprehensive fight week coverage, and was a diehard follower of the sport long before he ever covered it professionally. His introduction to MMA came in 2007 with UFC 74, where Randy Couture defended his heavyweight crown with a thrashing of Gabriel Gonzaga. Themistoklis holds a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from Toronto's Centennial College. In addition to all things MMA, he is equally interested in both boxing and cinematic lore. If there's any advice he can impart to new and experienced sports bettors, it's to avoid betting against the greats and keep their options open, as committing to a single sportsbook can prove shortsighted and deprive them of access to the best available odds.
