The Top 5 Sports Betting Instagram Accounts You Need to Follow Today

• Instagram has become the preferred social media platform for sports betting handicappers
• We have tracked down the five of the most influential/popular Instagram sports betting accounts
• But remember, followers ≠ expertise

Instagram has become uber-popular with high-profile sports bettors, and for good reason. Instagram is the perfect medium for posting glamorous pictures of the biggest events and fattest stacks of cash, which is what every aspiring gambler dreams about.

You won’t find a lot of hardcore analytics experts on Instagram, but you will find a litany of amusing sports betting accounts. As long as you remember not to take what they say as gospel, they can be an entertaining addition to your own sports betting lifestyle.

5. @KellyInVegas a.k.a. Kelly Stewart

With over 68,000 followers, Kelly Stewart’s brand is still growing. With the way she has paired her glamorous Sin City sports betting lifestyle with an entertaining Instagram account, it’s sure to keep trending up.

Stewart first gained popularity after hitting a longshot, three-team NFL parlay circa 2013. When photos and videos of her started circulating thereafter, the public became intensely interested in this objectively attractive woman with a sports betting acumen.

Why? Let’s just say “objectively attractive woman” isn’t the most common descriptor of a successful sports bettor.

Stewart makes no bones about using her sex appeal to reel in followers, but she also seems to recognize that a shiny veneer will only get you so far.

From football to baseball to basketball, she can talk Xs and Os, and she puts obvious time and effort into her picks and plays.

4. @codybrownpicks

Cody Brown Picks posts picks daily, covering most sports including the NFL, NBA, MLB, WNBA and soccer.

I’m not sure anyone knows what he actually looks like, because he focuses his content solely on the picks and the process behind them, and not on camera time for himself.

But his analysis on picks, hit rates and matchups can be valuable for bettors looking for an edge each day.

3. @VIPSportsLV a.k.a. Steve Stevens

If you’re put off by brash persona and overconfidence, Steve Stevens’ @VIPSportsLasVegas Instagram account and podcast are not for you. Evidently, it’s not an issue for a lot of people seeing that the longtime sports bettor and advisor has more than 1 million Instagram followers. Self-described as “third generation born and raised in Vegas,” Stevens is one part sports betting consultant and one part hotheaded travel agent.

He spends part of his time visiting and reviewing the various sportsbooks in Las Vegas, in addition to providing information like best bets.

Stevens’ website has a fun gimmick on the front page, offering a free pick if you enter your phone number.

Before you ask, of course we did!

2. @barstoolgambling

Immediately upon arriving at @barstoolgambling’s Instagram account, you will be able to tell that this is not a tout to be taken too seriously: “Rule number 1 of gambling, always bet the over. Rule number 2, if a mascot dies the week of a big game, it’s an automatic mortal lock.”

But that’s completely in keeping with the Barstool’s overarching corporate persona. Dave Portnoy’s Massachusetts-based sports website flourished thanks to a general “ahh-go-f***-yourself” attitude towards everything aside from the Patriots.

With more than 834K followers, people seem to love watching Portnoy, Big Cat, Marty Mush, and the rest of the Barstool Crew hilariously overreact to watching their picks (generally losses) playout in real-time.

We have a feeling that half of the Barstool Gambling followers actually hate Portnoy and only follow the account to see him lose money. Speaking of that, if you’re interested in the biggest losers in sports betting history and other little-known stories within the industry, check out our articles of interest section.
