WagerWire

We’re proud to be nominated for Best Sports Betting Content, along with Genius Sports and VSiN, The Sports Betting Network, at the 2025 Hashtag Sports Awards. We believe betting isn’t just about numbers, it’s about stories. While the industry fixated on capturing the bettors' attention before a bet gets placed, we pioneered an entirely new category of fan engagement: AFTER the bet gets placed. This approach has catapulted us to the national stage through epic stories from bettors like Martwon Weaver, Wayne Shelton, and Calvin Smith, three everyday guys whose bets turned into national headlines after posting them for sale on WagerWire. Their journeys were covered by ESPN, the New York Post and TMZ because by virtue of being for sale, these bets were no longer just slips; they were a ticket to ride. We’re most proud that Wire Media has been able to do all this with zero dollars spent on performance marketing. We embed our brand organically within human narratives, and let the public spread the good word about us. Now, if you google any combination of words asking what your bet is worth, we're on the first page of results. Because real stories and real people are always better than fake hype and salesy bullsh*t, both in SEO and IRL.

🥶 Cool to be named to the Bruin Business 100, "which recognizes exceptional UCLA alumni entrepreneurs. These alumni are founders, owners and visionaries in business that have inspired innovation and expanded the Bruin network." UCLA has been ranked as the #1 public university in the United States 8 years in a row. My cofounder and college roommate Zach Doctor and I are currently in (hot af) Ft. Lauderdale for the SBC Summit Americas while our third cofounder and Sigma Nu fraternity brother Guy Dotan has flown back in LA to represent us at the ceremony in Westwood this evening. Who ever said don't go in to business with your friends didn't have friends like these! The list: https://lnkd.in/gWrbtAHZ
