This list started reasonably short, but has since ballooned to well over 100 different sports betting personalities. This is a testament to the growth of sports, sports betting, and social media, in which anyone with an internet connection can attract an audience. We did the hard work for you here, rounding up the best, most useful, and most interesting sports betting Twitter accounts and #GamblingTwitter figures.
This rundown — in alphabetical order by first name — represents a mixture of sports bettors, sportsbook directors, radio guys, sources of data and analytics to inform your own sports wagering, and miscellaneous others. Some accounts will provide injury news, legal and regulatory observations, opinions about the various mobile sportsbooks available from Arizona to Michigan to Virginia, or some laughs. For the most part, these people #sticktosports.
Hit us up @sports_handle with feedback and we encourage you to go here to follow the list, which gets updated and curated regularly. If you pick up a few handles you like, mission accomplished. This piece/list is an ongoing work in progress and is updated intermittently to add (or subtract) people.
