Carlos Mendez

For Carlos Mendez, betting markets are best understood as conversations between numbers and behavior. His work focuses on interpreting what odds reveal about risk, pricing, and public sentiment rather than chasing short-term outcomes.

Growing up in Buenos Aires, Carlos was immersed early in football culture where betting markets were part of everyday discussion. That exposure shaped his instinct for reading lines and spotting inefficiencies long before formal training entered the picture. An academic background in applied mathematics later gave structure to that intuition, allowing him to approach sports betting through probability theory and statistical modeling rather than instinct alone.

Before joining Gaming America, Carlos built an audience through analytical breakdowns for Argentine sports platforms, where his ability to explain implied probability and line movement set his work apart. Readers responded to the discipline of his approach, which treated betting as a long-term mathematical exercise instead of a predictive game.

At Gaming America, Carlos covers sports betting across LATAM and US markets, producing analysis that prioritizes value, context, and restraint. His work explains why certain lines are mispriced, how markets react to public money, and where quieter opportunities tend to emerge over time.

Alongside sportsbook analysis, Carlos brings hands-on experience with casino table games, particularly craps. He evaluates casinos through the lens of odds transparency, rule variation, and how clearly platforms communicate risk, applying the same numerical scrutiny he brings to sports betting markets.
