Confirmed: Jeopardy! James Holzhauer joins The Athletic, with sports betting in focus

Winner of 32 straight Jeopardy! episodes averaging $75,000 per show, pro sports bettor James Holzhauer announced Tuesday morning he will now be writing a column for the Atlantic.

He penned an introductory column:

What To Expect

Here are some questions a typical sports bettor might have. I hope that in the upcoming months my readers will not only find out the answers but also learn how to think like a professional gambler and use that perspective to win more.

Should I prefer to bet a baseball game when the overnight lines come out or five minutes before the first pitch?

If I like the Cowboys this week, should I bet them at +7 +100, +7.5 -110, or +300 on the money line?

Are certain sports easier to beat than others?

Should I bet at one sportsbook or several different ones?

Is it easier to win at pregame or in-game wagering?

Should I focus on straight bets, parlays, teasers, or props?

When is it okay to hedge a futures ticket?

What Not To Expect

Picks

I will likely devote an entire article to why I wouldn’t bet anyone else’s plays, but for now, I’ll just state that I won’t be giving out picks in this or any other space. Thanks for reading this far. I look forward to educating readers, and if you have any questions you can submit them in the comments for a future mailbag column. My first column will run in the sports betting section on Thursday morning.
