Steve Budin
A second-generation bookmaker based in Miami, Steve Budin runs the sports pick conglomerate SportsInfo, which includes sister sites SportsAdvisors and PickNation. Currently a family man who enjoys raising his three children and supporting local charitable organizations, Steve Budin is a sports gambling legend with a career spanning decades and countries.
Focusing on building a stable reputation in the online handicapping industry while using the Internet to enable greater flexibility in the sports-betting industry, Steve Budin has successfully grown SportsInfo into the largest online handicapping service in the business. Steve Budin is also a regular contributor to sports shows on Fox and MSNBC. Prior to founding SportsInfo, Steve Budin was a maverick pioneer in the early days of offshore sports betting, when bets were still taken via telephone and corporations like Steve Budin’s SDB Global operated in the gray area of U.S. gambling laws. In 2007, Steve Budin published a memoir detailing his rise to self-made millionaire through his years running SDB Global in Panama and Costa Rica. All of this was curtailed when a decision by the U.S. Government was made to prosecute offshore gambling outfits. Available from Amazon and other booksellers, Bets, Drugs, and Rock & Roll: The Rise and Fall of the World’s First Offshore Sports Gambling Empire topped bestseller lists in the sports books category.
With a background that includes working as a professional host for casinos such as Caesar’s Palace and operating as a 16-year-old bookmaker in high school, Steve Budin’s legendary place in offshore betting is only part of the story. Born into the industry to a well-known bookmaker in New York, Steve Budin is presently content to focus his expertise on running his handicapper sites and maintaining his place as one of most renowned sports gambling entrepreneurs in recent history. Committed to supporting his community, Steve Budin contributes to the Miami-Dade County Friendship Circle and Veterans of America, and enjoys playing basketball, traveling, and gambling.
