Q&A with Kyle

When it came to sports I always felt I was the smartest guy in the space. I saw sports wagering as a way to put my smarts to the test and make some cash while doing so. I soon found out that although profitable, I am not the smartest guy in the space.

Kyle's memories

I made a nine-team parlay on MLK day back in 2020 and a 60 piece from Damian Lillard won me the last leg in OT versus the Warriors. I have actually been chasing after that high since.

There have been too lots of to count, however I picked P.J. Tucker to score Over 6.5 points just for him to score two. That certainly stung.
