Stints at Amherst News and the Cape Breton Post helped sharpen his skills in a newsroom setting, while working for MSVU and Dalhousie\u2019s athletic departments landed Kyle in his comfort zone.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle has been an avid bettor for over five years, starting with just one Sports Interaction account before discovering both the beauty and importance of price shopping. bet365 and Pinnacle are his go to books, but accounts at 10+ sportsbooks give him an array of options. \u201cRusty\u201d will bet on anything under the sun as long as there\u2019s value and good reasoning behind it, but NHL and NFL are his two favorite leagues to watch and wager on \u2014 especially with friends.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle\u2019s biggest tip for any bettor is simple: gamble responsibly.
