For the last 11 years, sports fans in South Florida have learned a lot from radio host Andy Slater. The Miami native has always had a passion when it comes to scooping news locally. That has allowed him to gain a reputation nationally as someone who is as plugged in as anyone when it comes to anything related to South Florida sports.
Humble beginnings
As a young sports fan located in Miami, Slater looked for as many opportunities as possible to make those early connections. He worked for four years in the Florida Marlins visitor’s clubhouse, and he has also worked a number of odd jobs related in some way to news and radio before getting his opportunity on 940 WINZ a leading Miami sports radio station.
It was not until 2008 that he was able to launch his own show, and his ability to break news has allowed him to grow in numbers every single year. Not only do people in South Florida listen to him daily, but his show is also available through iHeartRadio for the national audience and has eventually led to large sports betting accumulation opportunities.

He has even come up with some very creative betting angles that can make smaller sports bettors a lot of money through parlaying their winnings.

Now that gambling is viewed as more socially acceptable and becoming legal across the country, he loves providing sports betting tips for listeners who might be looking to add some entertainment to their lives.
Slater is not afraid to bring additional guests on to the show as well to talk about sports gambling.
