Summary

Hunter spent one year at West Virginia University before dropping out to work for a production company that produced popular reality TV series, such as The Jersey Shore. While working on a 2011 show filming in Las Vegas, Hunter was introduced to the sports betting lifestyle and met the man who would eventually hire Hunter to be a runner for his syndicate. Hunter calls that experience "10 years of the best sports betting education one could ever ask for."

Education

Hunter first started betting on sports in high school, then while working on a reality TV show filming in Las Vegas as a college student, Hunter decided to make sports betting his career. He began refining his own craft while working as an independent runner for professional bettors, living off-and-on in Las Vegas for seven years until moving back to New Jersey in 2018, when Gov. Phil Murphy signed the state's sports betting bill into law. 
Hunter joined Action in 2019 after reaching out to Chad Millman about how he could help The Action Network's Chief of Content improve his picks on NFL spreads and over/unders on "The Favorites" podcast.

Experience

Simon Hunter is a co-host of "The Favorites" podcast and a Senior Analyst for The Action Network.
