Marcus Booker's Biography

Marcus Booker is an avid sports fan turned betting enthusiast. Growing up he spent every free moment playing or watching basketball, football, or baseball and dreamed of one day being a pro athlete himself. When a knee injury disqualified him from playing basketball in college Marcus started placing a few bets and quickly found a new passion for line-shopping, placing bets, and making serious money betting on sports.

After he had gained some experience Marcus began freelance writing. Working for understaffed websites, he was quickly thrown into researching and writing betting previews for a variety of sports. He gladly accepted this challenge and found what is now his bread and butter; betting on fight sports.

Marcus quit freelance writing and for 3 years made his living working at a sportsbook. There he learned how sportsbooks make their money and how lines are set. This only fed his interest in sports betting and made him wonder if he could make a full-time living betting on sports.

4 year later Marcus now finds himself as a member of the writing staff at LegitGamblingSites and is eager to share his sports betting knowledge, tips, and tricks with users to get them placing bets and winning big money!
