As a huge fan of Boston and New England teams, I like betting on first-inning baseball markets (NRFI/YRFI).

Away from the Desk

Tom still immerses himself in sports and gaming—even when he's not writing. A devoted fan of Boston and New England teams, he passionately follows MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL (in that order). He also enjoys placing bets on niche markets. 

In the casino, Tom gravitates toward Pai Gow Poker and Caribbean Stud for their strategic appeal.

Outside of sports and betting, Tom loves playing card games and retro video games and staying active. These hobbies reflect his lifelong love for competition and camaraderie, both on and off the field.
