How a female CPA from Australia who lives in Canada became a sports betting expert | Engel Angle

Mac Engel sits down with Jo Madden, a Calgary native who ditched spreadsheets for sports betting slips. Once an accountant, Jo now makes her living setting lines, breaking down matchups, and delivering sharp picks across WagerTalk, BettingPros, and her own YouTube channel.
The two dig into her journey from the world of numbers to the high-stakes universe of sports wagering, with all the unpredictability and thrill that comes with it. Jo shares how she approaches games of every shape and size, from NFL Sundays to niche matchups, and why her background in accounting actually gave her an edge in the betting world.
Of course, it wouldn’t be The Engel Angle without some detours—this time into the personal life of Bill Belichick and his new girlfriend. Mac and Jo tackle football gossip with the same gusto as betting trends, making for an episode that’s equal parts sports, strategy, and straight-up fun.
