"There are certain data people that just go by the numbers. I love numbers, but you need some context with it, too. You need to be able to tie in the specifics from certain games."
As Editor in Chief at SportsBettingDime.com, Matt McEwan oversees a team that looks to provide as much information and insight as possible to bettors. That ranges from their Betting 101 content that explains how it all works to providing in-depth analysis of upcoming contests. In this episode, Matt offers a brief tutorial about wagering on sports, offering definitions of many of the common terms one will encounter during a foray into sports betting. He also explains what information his site provides and how it can help a gambler make better decisions and, hopefully, find more success. Matt also shares his picks on several sports, including not only who he expects to see in the Super Bowl but also which teams he considers to be good value bets to play for the NFL Championship.
