Doug Kezirian lives in Las Vegas and after 11 years with ESPN, Doug is currently working independently across several platforms. In addition to writing for The Athletic and NY Post, he hosts betting shows on YouTube for the BetRivers Network. He also has his own sports content on the Doug Kezirian Sports Network.

While at ESPN, Doug shared his analysis and insight on all ESPN platforms, including Daily Wager. Doug initially hosted the program but then shifted into an analyst role to spotlight his opinion, sourced information and betting picks. His expertise and on-air experience merged to deliver and dissect this nuanced subject matter, while also having fun. Additionally, during the football season, his weekend ESPN.com columns were distributed to subscribers with over two million alerts.

Doug is the unique television talent with actual, documented betting success. He finished in 14th place in both 2023 Circa Million and Las Vegas SuperContest (net $37K). In 2022, he had two Top-5 finishes in the William Hill College Football Challenge (net $58K). In 2021, he famously won $297K on an NFL Draft prop. This is what separates him from other on-air betting personalities.
