Luc LeBlanc has worked in sports media for nearly half a decade, blending his analytical approach, knack for pattern recognition, and a unique, transparent writing style to present readers with the best and most accurate information.

Safe and responsible sports betting never comes from blindly following picks or projections, but rather from better informing oneself through digesting trusted, transparent, and reliable information.

He holds a Geography degree (BSc) from Saint Mary's University. His love for maps and his science-oriented thought processes have seamlessly translated to how he approaches his work today.

Whether it's the NHL, ATP/WTA Tours, MLB, or NFL, he can always be trusted to deliver valuable information in an accessible manner and will never push a narrative without good reason.

Prior to joining Covers, his work could be found across numerous publications, such as The Hockey Writers, FanSided, and Oddspedia.

Stints at Amherst News and the Cape Breton Post helped sharpen his skills in a newsroom setting, while working for MSVU and Dalhousies athletic departments landed Kyle in his comfort zone. Kyle has been an avid bettor for over five years, starting with just one Sports Interaction account before discovering both the beauty and importance of price shopping. bet365 and Pinnacle are his go to books, but accounts at 10+ sportsbooks give him an array of options. Rusty will bet on anything under the sun as long as theres value and good reasoning behind it, but NHL and NFL are his two favorite leagues to watch and wager on especially with friends. Kyles biggest tip for any bettor is simple: gamble responsibly. Only bet what youre willing to lose and make sure to install a proper bankroll method to keep track of your ROI. If youre still dwelling on the amount you lost the next day, its time to decrease your spending.
