I’ve been referred to as “Ninja” for the most part in my, oh, 13-year-or-so career as a writer, video producer, video host, capper, analyst and content creator. There isn’t an overly-entertaining explanation for why that nickname has stuck, but it has.

Fun fact: my first ever bet was a bad beat. It was Browns at Saints in 1999. Tim Couch’s rookie season. I had Saints moneyline. Couch throws a bomb some 60 yards in the air at the end of the game and somehow Kevin Johnson is able to get his mitts on it for six. Browns win. From that moment on, I consider myself to be somewhat of an aficionado of heart-breaking betting losses. “But my capping was on point!” he says, hiding the tears.

Apart from being a die-hard fan of Tottenham Hotspur, the San Francisco 49ers and Toronto Blue Jays, you can find me on the golf course, or cooking up something delicious in the kitchen for the fam, or watching some obscure Japanese or Euro film that nobody gives a s*** about.

Bill Spurr has been writing sports long enough to have started on a manual typewriter. As a youngster, his bedroom held equipment for 11 sports, and Bill was mediocre at all of them. He has worked in radio, at a national wire service and in print, and his stories have appeared in dozens of web sites, magazines and newspapers. For Odds Shark, he will concentrate on NCAA sports.
