“Eighteen years ago, I made the move into the niche of sports business reporting. Well, sports gambling — the business of bets, sportsbooks, bettors, sponsorships, data, leagues — was now going to be big enough to cover every day.
“So where would I go? There was truly only one place: Action, a sophisticated, best-in-class operation, founded back in October 2017 after rolling up three data companies into one with the intention of giving sports bettors the best investing tools.”
