It’s Follow Friday in Twitter land, and since many of you are probably looking for good sports betting follows this football season, I figured I’d put together a follow list with industry sources, oddsmakers, handicappers and strong information providers.
I follow just about everybody on the list below in some form or fashion, and I think you would benefit from doing the same. So, here is a list — A through Z (sort of) — of people to follow.
If you have any suggestions, or if you yourself would like to be added to the list, shoot me an e-mail and I’ll update it. And if I missed you, please don’t be offended. I’m sure there are some glaring omissions on the list.
UPDATED: I created a Twitter list with all the names found below. You can access it by clicking here.
