Patrick Trudeau
|I have always wanted to be a writer and sports are my favorite thing in the world, so I combined the two to make a career. I have been a long-time gambler and sports betting writer that isn’t afraid to look at the underdog or specials. I am covering the NHL, MLB and NCAA Football for BetPicks.ca and am a huge fan of both sports – as well as many others. Some of my favorite sports memories include David Freese’s walk-off home run in 2011 and the Anaheim Ducks winning their first-ever Stanley Cup. I am a huge Ducks and Cardinals fan, despite them being nowhere close to my birthplace of Ottawa, Canada.
Away from the sports and betting world, you can find me belting out country classics at Karaoke Night or watching movies (nothing scary, of course). I also love stand up comedy, Freezies, and thinking of rhymes in case a rap battle ever breaks out.
Follow me on Twitter @Patrick_Trudeau so we can talk betting, sports, or why ketchup DOES belong on Poutine.
