The Editorial Desk
Specialized research. Disciplined review. One final card.
Sports Bet Advisor brings together specialists who follow individual sports and leagues throughout the season. Their research, analysis and opinions feed into one unified editorial process designed to identify the strongest betting opportunities available.
How the Editorial Process Works
Research
Our sports specialists monitor schedules, statistics, injuries, form, matchups, market conditions and other factors that may influence a betting opportunity.
Review
Potential selections are reviewed across the editorial desk. Opportunities are compared on their merits rather than forcing a predetermined number of picks into every edition.
Selection
The strongest opportunities become the official Sports Bet Advisor Editor's Picks. Not every idea makes the final card.
Richard Bennett

Executive Editor
Parlays & Specialty Bets
Richard Bennett oversees the Sports Bet Advisor editorial process and the final betting card. He evaluates the research coming from each desk and determines which opportunities deserve publication.
The objective isn't to publish the most picks. It is to publish the opportunities that offer the strongest combination of information, matchup and price at the time of publication.
