As somebody who just recently got into betting more frequently, I’ve been reading all the sports gambling 101 manuals I can find. From knowing which teams to drop money on to understanding the way different contests work, I’m just trying my best to win a few hundred bucks before really stepping up my game. So far, I’m just breaking even.

Lucky for me, there are guys like Dan Kilbridge of Bookies.com — a partner of BetMGM‘s — who literally spends his days writing about sports gambling in order to help dudes like me win big. Kilbridge focuses his attention on college basketball and college football, but, like most guys, regularly plays DFS tournaments in any sport he finds interesting… or that can win him some dough.

Given the expansion over the years of the sports gambling industry — with BetMGM now available in Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and West Virginia, with more to come — Kilbridge has seen more U.S. states legalize betting; and sports fans are getting more and more interested in taking part.

With business booming and bettors looking to play more often, I got the chance to chat with Dan Kilbridge to get his take on the state of the sports betting industry, any tips he has to actually win money, his thoughts on the NCAA Tournament and, naturally, his sleeper team to compete for the national title. Take a look below at his thoughts.
