Naraine, an associate professor in the Department of Sport Management at Brock University, is an avid sports bettor and he’s got money riding on not just the game, but also on what will happen with each pitch. But, while he wants his team to win, he’s also got his eye on the ump to see if it’s a ball or a strike.
Like many Canadians, Michael Naraine watches as many Toronto Blue Jays games on TV as he can. In June, when the Blue Jays played the Boston Red Sox, Michael Naraine bet a dime on every throw in real-time (Getty)
