Hi guys,
I'd like to introduce myself with my first post. I'm a Chinese-American currently living near Washington, D.C., where I have grown and spent my entire life. I am really interested in the world of crypto and the future that this technology can mold and create. I love the idea of this platform and have a few ideas of the direction my blog will go. The biggest things I am passionate about are philosophy, sports, cryptocurrency, programming, and hip hop/rap.
One thing I really enjoy is using sports betting as a form of investment vehicle. This was intertwined with my very first crypto experience as I used bitcoin to deposit into an online sportsbook to bet with. I've come a long way since then, both in my knowledge of crypto and of sports betting. I think that there are a lot of resource for learning about crypto, philosophy, etc. but not a lot of resources for learning about sports betting. In fact, you can say I paid my "tuition" to learn because I was practicing a lot of bad habits and losing money at first. I want to start this blog to help people not make the same mistakes I can and help them beat the casinos. I can confidently say now that sports betting can be an investment (albeit a riskier one with higher variance) if done correctly.
In my next post, I will go over the basics of sports betting and how math can help us find bets that will be PROFITABLE in the long run. Thanks for reading this and I hope you stay tuned so I can share my experiences and spread the knowledge I have gained.
P.S. my username is an homage to one of my favorite albums of all time. "Undun" by The Roots is a concept album that tells the story of a fictional character named Redford Stephens and his existential journey through life growing up in urban poverty. Check it out if you get the chance :D

I love my sports betting but I consider it more gambling than investment.

Thanks for the feedback! Yea I totally understand where you're coming from. I intend to emphasize it more in my following posts that this is still risky and that no one should be risking more than they can afford to lose. I will also be going over things that not everyone knows about that can definitely help even casual bettors from making really poor bets in terms of odds. Will also be going over core principles like bankroll management to try to prevent people from going broke!

Been betting on sports for around 13 years now, mainly concentrating on soccer. About 2 years ago, I started the process of perfecting my approach and have developed a method for rapidly compiling analysis of 22 separate European soccer leagues. It still takes around 3-4 hours each week to 'read' the data but it's opened my eyes to markets and possibilities that I haven't previously considered. Completely agree that sports betting can be profitable, but as with crypto you can't wager more than you're willing to lose. Stick to that rule and you'll enjoy yourself.
