How To Bet Friday's WNBA Slate

Jim Turvey contributes to The Action Network's WNBA coverage, writing season and game previews, and joining podcasts. He covers the NBA and MLB during the WNBA offseason. He technically started betting with Cent Sports back in middle school, but got into the real deal after college when he graduated and entered the sports media world in 2012. Prior to joining Action in 2022, he worked for SBNation, Insider Baseball, SI and Gatehouse Media.

Summary

Turvey earned a degree in History, English and Classics from University of Vermont

Education

Turvey has long had a focus on the Futures markets of the betting world, taking home Mark Simon's Baseball Experts Predictions Contest in 2019--his first season involved. He also won Gatehouse Media's "Rising Star" Award his first year at The Crookston Daily Times, while running the paper's sports section.
From a Futures perspective, he has been projecting win totals for MLB and NBA for almost a decade now, as well as focusing on the awards, league leaders, and all other assorted futures markets for MLB, NBA and WNBA markets. With the growth of what bettors can bet on in the WNBA, he has also focused his night-to-night attention on the player prop market in the WNBA, a market which is mostly new to U.S. bettors, and still very prime to be profitable.
Turvey's offseason awareness of the league allows for an ability to hit the ground running early in the season and stay ahead of the books each step of the way. He also works with a top WNBA group that is constantly working together to approach this entirety of the WNBA betting market and shares these insights with followers in the app, on the site and on his podcast appearances.

Experience

Jim Turvey writes about the WNBA, NBA and MLB for The Action Network. He joined Action in 2022 after working for SBNation, Insider Baseball, Sports Illustrated and Gatehouse Media.
