A native of northern California, but growing up in upstate New York, Pete Korner was a huge fan of all things sports related. The west coast lured him back to attend university where he received a BA in from Cal State University, Northridge.

A fateful meeting with a pioneer in the use of baseball statistics led to an internship – and a lifelong passion: sports statistics. The next logical move for Pete was a move to Las Vegas, where sports statistics are extremely relevant.

He began his career in the sports gaming industry first as part-time employee, but quickly advanced working for oddsmakers and sports consultants and eventually, as senior oddsmaker and operations manager for Las Vegas Sports Consultants.

Pete began thinking of how to use technology to improve access and information for avid sports gambling fans. His achievements include obtaining a license as a sports information provider with the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Then began investing in technology to launch his own oddsmaking service – The Sports Club and currently, Megasports Progressive.
