Mitch Wilson, owner/founder of pickdawgs and sportschatplace, dead

[Sportsrmylife]

Apparantly had a heart attack running on a treadmill.
Wife found him and he wasnt responsive

He was the original youtuber who started doing videos and articles on every game in every sport.
Dominated SEO for matchups

Was a rival for wagertalk and hated the Docs sports team as wade is a lying POS.

I remember when he started the blog cfbchatplace.

I can easily say he was the hardest working man in the sports gambling tout game.

He wore his feelings on his sleeve and has countless videos of calling other services out.

He will be missed

I got to know Mitch several years ago, had some good times with him. He spoke very highly of his wife and often said how much he appreciated her as she stood by him during some tough stretches in life. I remember how happy he was making a big move to Maui from Chicago if my memory is good. He was easily the hardest working sportspicks business person I ever met in the last 25+ years. I witnessed on numerous occasions Mitch putting in 10+ hour days to keep building his business. I remember going to an IT/Web type tradeshow with him in Vegas and being surprised on how many people approached him wanting to talk business. Looking back I guess it was because he was doing well with his site(s) and his stats (ie. Traffic to his site(s) was strong). Any life or business goals he shared with me many years ago he accomplished so good for you Mitch!, RIP

That interview is where I first heard about Mitch. Crazy.
He is the hardest working capper I've ever seen from writing articles and making videos for every game.
He had 3 giant sites
Cfbchatplace
Sportschatplace
Pickdawz

He figured out SEO for sports betting content long before anyone else.

His daily podcasts/videos were a good listen as I would pay attention to his insight on the Miami Hurricanes since he was such a loyal fan.

His businesses generated millions from selling and banners and sponsors.

He was the ground breaking for what wagertalk does now (preview videos on all the games) along with the sites that are copying his marketing style of writing up every game with a pick on the side and total.

He told stories of big bets which I don't doubt. I doubt he was a winning bettor but his bankroll was always plump from his website money.

He hated Wade from doc sports (the son of the original Doc) with a passion and his no hold barred opinions was refreshing to hear as he had a dgaf attitude.

I spoke with him on the phone once and he said his goal was to have the biggest sports betting content site on the net bigger than covers.com.

His commitment, dedication & determination was unwavering. You're right his dgaf attitude was part of his makeup which helped him in life & business!
