Along with the picks and analysis provided on a daily basis at Betting News, we also have sports betting guides that cover the basics of wagering, reviews of the best online sportsbooks, and our take on the best sports betting tools and resources. And on this page, we highlight the best sports betting follows on Twitter (or “X, ” if you want to refer to it by its new name) that stand out on what is known as #GamblingTwitter.
Many things factor into this list and each person on this list is highlighted for a particular reason.
Some of them cap games, some of them give valuable sports data, and some provide entertaining content in the sports betting space.
Each person is a great add to your social media timeline and will help you on a daily basis make more informed sports bets and stay up to date in the sports world as a whole.
We will update this list frequently so be sure to come back by and check out the best pages on Twitter that are worth a follow!
Follow me on Twitter @Shaggy_Bets and @YourBettingNews to keep up with what we have going on socials and if you know someone who you think should be highlighted (maybe even yourself), get in touch with me!
Without further ado, here are our favorite follows on #GamblingTwitter.
Editorial Transparency Disclaimer: Several names on this list are current members of the Betting News team, and some members of the team may sometimes collaborate with other members of the list, whether on Betting News shows or other content.
Best Sports Betting Follows on Twitter
1. @ColbyMBets
What makes Colby one of the best sports betting follows on Twitter? Of course I’m going to plug the Home Run King himself, Colby Marchio, hosts Up Your Units and other shows throughout the week on the Betting News network.
Colby also hosts his own baseball-focused show on the channel. Be sure to catch The Pickoff, live on Betting News Socials during the MLB season.
Colby’s first love is baseball, but this guy also puts out picks for NFL, College Football, and College Hoops. He is a true CBB sicko like myself, and we can get a little rowdy on our shows during the season.
Without a doubt, the best reason to follow Colby is for his Home Run Celebration videos. Not only does this guy hit 3-1, 4-1, sometimes 8-1 home runs bets on the regular, each one is appropriately celebrated with a wild video.
2. @BenjaminSolak
Benjamin Solak is an NFL Analyst for ESPN
What makes Benjamin one of the best sports betting follows on Twitter? Benjamin Solak is a fantastic follow for incredibly detailed film breakdowns and writing, covering the NFL for ESPN.
This guy is one of the best in the business at breaking down the X’s and O’s of the game on film. I leave all of his videos mesmerized at how insightful his analysis is, picking up things even the sharpest football minds might miss.
While he doesn’t talk much about the betting side of things, being an informed sports follower is one of the most valuable assets to your sports betting mind.
Benjamin covers the NFL wonderfully and will keep you informed and entertained.
3. @Shaggy_Bets
What makes Shaggy one of the best sports betting follows on Twitter? You think they’d let me write this piece and expect me NOT to put myself on this list? You’ve clearly never met me.
“‘If you don’t believe in yourself, no one will’ – Someone famous, probably” – Shaggy_Bets
I cover a little bit of everything here at Betting News, with my main beats being the NFL, college football, college basketball, and soccer betting. You can also find me on Up Your Units and other shows on the Betting News Twitch Channel, talking through the day’s best wagers multiple times a week.
On Twitter, you will get my daily picks, some Kansas City sports homerism, and the occasional appearance from Scooby and Freddy, my two dachshund mixes. I won’t promise winners every time, but I will always bet what I post, dig into the numbers, and keep a clear head. Short memory, long game – there’s always another spot tomorrow.
4. @GUnit_81
Greg “G-Unit” Peterson is a College Basketball fanatic, providing followers with plenty of CBB content
What makes Greg one of the best sports betting follows on Twitter? Greg Peterson, known as G-Unit on #GamblingTwitter, is a true fan of college basketball. The man hosts Coast to Coast Hoops on VSIN, as well as doing some freelance CBB writing for ESPN.
G-Unit puts out his own spread and total out for every single College Hoops matchup all season long. He can go 8-10 players deep on all 364 Division 1 college basketball teams, as well as naming coaches, assistants, mascots, conferences and stats for multiple players. The man is quite literally obsessed with College Basketball, and I personally use his numbers every single day to help me craft my own bets.
In the offseason, he keeps up with every single transfer and coaching hire, as well as providing the same numbers for every single MLB contest. GUnit is a must follow for all your CBB and MLB needs, plus he has tons of beer review videos!
5. @Vsaaauce
What makes V one of the best sports betting follows on Twitter? Vsaaauce is a personal friend of mine and one of my favorite follows on Gambling Twitter because of his extensive knowledge of the NBA. He is also a member of the Betting News Family & you can read more of his work HERE!
He is one of the best, most detailed NBA cappers I interact with on a daily basis. Vsaaauce posts plays every day and always provides valuable data behind his plays.
If you like betting Player props in the NBA, V is a must follow.
6. @DaveMasonBOL
What makes Dave one of the best sports betting follows on Twitter? Dave Mason works behind the scenes for our friends over at BetOnline, but his presence on twitter is certainly worth the follow. Not only does he send out updated odds from one of the sharpest books in the world, but he also provides valuable information to every bettor.
Mason sends out betting splits, handles, as well as spelling out exactly what the sportsbooks need in order for you to make a more informed wager. He’ll tell you whether BetOnline is cheering for the over or the under in a specific matchup, as well as which side they’d prefer come out on top.
If you think “the house always wins”, then follow Dave Mason, bet with the books and see if that theory is true.
7. @SweatpantJesus
What makes SPJ one of the best sports betting follows on Twitter? Our Head of Content here at Betting News, SPJ needs to be added to your #GamblingTwitter follows.
Not only is this guy always spreading positivity and good vibes throughout the timeline, he also fires off plenty of lotto parlays for all you degenerates (He straight bets plenty as well).
SPJ covers mostly player props in the NBA and NFL, but you’ll also find him dipping his toes in the WNBA, NHL, and MLB.
SPJ hosts Talk Your Talk on Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon eastern on the Betting News Socials. He also co-hosts Afternoon Betspresso Mondays and Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. eastern and Saturdays at noon eastern, and the All Sauce Team, our professional basketball driven show, Fridays at 5:30 p.m. eastern and Sundays at noon eastern.
If you want bets, analysis, good vibes and lots of coffee photos, SPJ is certainly the man to follow.
8. @StephieSmallls
Smalls is a great follow for PGA & NFL fans, posting relatable content for anyone
What makes Stephie one of the best sports betting follows on Twitter? “Certified yapper girl” as her profile proudly proclaims, Smalls hosts her own show on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network.
Specializing in NFL hot takes and keeping up with all things PGA Tour, Smalls posts plenty of outlandish, relatable tweets that are sure to bring you a few laughs.
Once football season rolls around, stay tuned for plenty of interception props, and other tweets from a heartbroken Giants fan.
9. @ToddFuhrman
What makes Todd one of the best sports betting follows on Twitter? Todd Fuhrman is a current host for CBS Sports and Sportsline and has his own BettheBoard Podcast. He was a former oddsmaker working for the books, and now spends his time trying to beat them in various markets, so the man has experience from both sides of the counter.
While he covers NFL and College Football, his betting theory tweets and insights into the minds of the books are why I enjoy his account. Growth and knowledge are keys in this game, and Todd Fuhrman provides plenty of both to his followers.
