Robert "Dr. Bob" Stoll (born August 15, 1965)[1] is an American sports handicapper and founder of Dr. Bob Sports. Stoll is most known for his college football handicapping while also contributing work on the NFL, NBA, and college basketball.[2]
Early life and education
Stoll grew up in Vallejo, California and was given the nickname "Dr. Bob" while playing high school basketball. He is the son of an insurance company account executive and an engineer. He attended the University of California, Berkeley and majored in statistics but left before graduation to start his career in sports betting.[3]
Career
Stoll founded Dr. Bob Sports in 1987.[4] He first started writing for The Gold Sheet, then went on to start a weekly column in the Las Vegas Sports News called ‘The Doctor Is In’ and became a recurring guest on the Sports Fan Radio Network. Eleven years later, he began a print publication called ‘Dr. Bob Sports News’ which turned into his website, drbobsports.com.
Stoll beat the betting lines by bringing technical analysis to sports gambling combined with the development of a mathematical model. He disrupted the sports betting industry by making his picks available to the public unlike the notable winning professionals that preceded him such as the Kosher Boys and Michael Kent. Bookmakers routinely make sudden corrections to their betting lines as Stoll releases information.[3]
Personal life
Stoll lives with his wife and two children in Lone Tree, Colorado.
