“With the convergence of online gambling and entertainment, Bodog is proud to support Gawker’s new endeavor,” notes Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodog.com. “For many in the media and entertainment world, Gawker is on the must-read list, and with the continued growth of online poker and gamblíng, we expect Oddjack.com to join that list too.”

“We've brought the Gawker approach to gossip, gadgets, politics and cars. For our next title, what better subject than gamblíng?” adds Gaby Darbyshire, Director of Business Development at Gawker Media. “In the Internet age, gambling now connotes screens lit up with information: news, lines, data, whether the players are trading on tonight's NBA game or the odds on the next Supreme Court justice. That's the gamblíng world of the future, and Oddjack's terrain.”

The one thing all Gawker Media titles have in common is the fanaticism of their writers. Oddjack.com’s writer/editor is AJ Daulerio, a noted freelancer for The New York Post , The New York Press, VICE, Maxim and various other outlets.
