ESPN has signed sports betting analyst Pamela Maldonado to a new multi-year agreement, the network announced. Maldonado will contribute insights across multiple sports, including college football, NFL, golf, and tennis, primarily for ESPN.com’s betting editorial content.
Maldonado originally joined ESPN in August of 2024 on a non-exclusive basis, but this new agreement aligns her with the network exclusively.
“Pamela has elevated our sports betting coverage by using a combination of extensive sports knowledge, analytical research and entertainment,” said Andrew Feldman, Senior Deputy Editor at ESPN.com. “We’re glad to have her back as we continue to provide fans with the best-in-class sports betting coverage they seek from our analysts.”
Her ESPN role includes breaking down betting trends and offering data-driven predictions. She also analyzes odds to clarify potential outcomes. While rooted in analytics, Maldonado makes sports betting approachable for casual fans and still offers depth for experienced bettors.
Said Maldonado, “I’m grateful to keep building with ESPN. This is a place that values preparation and perspective, and that’s the work that drives me. I’m proud of what we’ve built so far and motivated to keep bringing clarity and real insights to the sports betting space.”
The extension comes as ESPN transitions its ESPN Bet offering to focus on content-related purposes. The network ended its sportsbook agreement with Penn Entertainment in November.
