You can find his work at Sports Illustrated, Yahoo Sports, MLB.com, and, more recently, the Toronto Star, where he writes sports feature stories. Diamandis also happens to be a sports betting enthusiast. His favourite sport to bet on is mixed martial arts. He lives for those Saturday UFC pay-per-views, where he can cook up a prelim parlay or toss a unit on a prop bet in the main event. Normally, he uses bet365 because it has the best prop selection for UFC betting. He’s also placed a few wagers with FanDuel and theScore Bet. His standard betting mantra is: “Sometimes the best play is no play.” Diamandas believes you should do your research, stay patient, and only place bets you understand. Those off-the-cuff hail marys are fun, but they rarely pay off in the end. Above all, his goal is to entertain and inform his audience, whether that comes in the form of a colorful feature story or a sharp daily picks article. ### What advice would you give to the community?
