Sports Betting Dime (SBD) has served as a sports betting portal for beginners, enthusiasts, and everyone in between since 2012. We started writing about our experiences with online gambling sites after realizing that sports bettors lacked a way to evaluate which sportsbooks deserved their business. And so, our reviews were born.

In the years since, we’ve grown into a multi-faceted platform for all things sports betting. Our site covers a huge range of content, including real-time odds analysis, trends, reports, and trackers, as well as up-to-date game information for all major leagues.

If you’re passionate about sports and eager to dive into the exciting world of sports odds and media, we want to talk. We’re looking for a regular contributor who takes the same pride in producing unique and engaging content as we do!

Please note: This is a paid contract position, we do not accept guest posts or article submissions.

Job Requirements:

  • Several years sports-writing experience
  • In-depth knowledge of field (can be single-sport or multiple)
  • Strong research skills
  • Reporting/journalism background or experience
  • Awareness of journalistic ethics
  • Basic understanding of sports betting (e.g. the difference between the “spread” and the “moneyline”; how to convert odds to probability)
  • Basic understanding of WordPress
  • Good understanding of SEO Principles

Preferred But Not Required:
