Editor, GamblingTerm.com

Ryan Cole is the editor of GamblingTerm.com. He writes and fact-checks the glossary definitions, betting guides, strategy breakdowns, and sportsbook reviews on the site.

His focus is the math behind betting: how odds turn into probabilities, where the sportsbook's edge comes from, and how bet sizing decides whether a bankroll survives a bad month. Guides on the site are built around worked examples you can check yourself with a calculator.

Ryan does not sell picks and does not accept payment for favorable reviews. Where the site earns affiliate commission, it is disclosed, and it does not change a rating.

Topics Ryan Covers

  • Sports betting odds
  • Implied probability and expected value
  • Bankroll management
  • Parlays and teasers
  • Sportsbook reviews
  • Casino games and house edge

How Ryan Writes and Reviews

  • Every number in a guide is worked through by hand and checked against the site's own calculators.
  • Sportsbook ratings cover the same five areas for every book: app, market depth, live betting, odds value, and bonuses.
  • Bonus offers and state availability change often, so reviews carry an "Updated" date. Check the sportsbook's terms before you sign up.
  • Mistakes get fixed. If you spot one, email [email protected].
