Betting the right way is a mix of heart and head. I’m a die-hard Buffalo Bills and Toronto Raptors fan, and I’ve been involved in sports my entire life.

I’ll never forget seeing Vince Carter electrify Raptors fans and lead them into their first deep playoff run, and years later watching Kawhi Leonard deliver a championship to Toronto. I also remember cheering as Tyrod Taylor helped the Bills break their long playoff drought. Those unforgettable moments helped shape my experience as a sports fan. I started betting on the Pro Line at 19, and a decade in the industry, combined with a lifetime of fandom, taught me that smart wagering comes from studying trends, respecting variance, and not just betting with your heart.
