Since then, he\u2019s covered virtually every sport under the sun, having written for several different outlets including Covers and the Canadian Olympic Committee.\u00a0A lifelong hockey fan and player, Chris currently works full-time for the National Hockey League.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of hockey, he\u2019s also an avid poker player and mixed martial arts fan, which is coincidentally his favorite sport to bet on \u2013 usually in the form of a parlay on bet365. The main lesson he\u2019s learned from years of betting is bankroll management: &#8220;Never bet more than you\u2019re comfortable losing and never chase your losses.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"toggleReadMore\" onclick=\"toggleReadMore(this)\">Read More<\/button><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.covers.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faria&#8217;s prediction: Greene stays hot against AL Central rivals.
