Mike Fagan
DOB: November 4th, 1980Height: 5'11"Weight: 160 Hometown: Greenlawn, NYUndergraduate - St. John's UniversityMBA - University of California - Berkeley; Haas School of BusinessAfter hanging up his competing career, Mike spent several years coaching and commentating, so he grew used to explaining other people's decisions out loud. Bookmakers' odds came into view by accident: he noticed that the line on an underdog ignored circumstances obvious to anyone from inside the sport. A check confirmed the hunch, and Mike began systematically comparing what a specialist sees with what the market prices in. That grew into work of its own — reading lines, hunting for discrepancies, judging how well a bookmaker actually understands a given discipline. Alongside it he worked out the practical side: how limits, payouts and verification are handled at different operators. Today Mike writes for people who want to bet with their eyes open, and he starts from the point that most bets are lost before the event is even chosen.
