Maia Ramsden ’24 has had quite the year. After an outstanding first two seasons with the Crimson, she won the Women’s 1500m at the 2023 NCAA Outdoor National Championships in June, becoming the first New Zealander to ever win the event. She followed up this historic win by reaching even greater heights in her senior […]
A large portion of Indy Sportsbook’s content has been dedicated to extolling the virtues of responsible sports gambling. It is a great way to bring even more excitement to the sports you love and can make you deeply invested in ones you never even thought about. We have greatly enjoyed all the highs and lows […]
The Game needs no introduction. The annual football contest between Harvard and Yale is one of the most historic rivalries in all of college sports. The Independent has dedicated plenty of words to Harvard’s lack of school spirit, such as our Beanpot article that covered the near-empty student section for the biggest hockey game of […]
We launched Indy Sportsbook last January to bring you the foremost gambling content of any student publication at Harvard. In the ensuing months, we have covered everything from the NFL and Women’s World Cup to professional cycling and competitive darts. There are picks we look back on with pride and others that we try hard […]
The fall is an absolutely fantastic time to be a sports bettor. Seemingly every major sport is either underway or about to begin, and we at Indy Sportsbook have been surely reaping the benefits. After a mediocre rookie year, the start of our sophomore season proves promising. While it will be some time before any […]
Harvard University is the biggest sports school in the country. This statement may come off as laughable to anyone who longingly watches ESPN’s College Gameday from their common room every weekend, but it is technically correct. The school has 42 varsity sports, more than any other Division 1 program, with approximately 20% of the student […]
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who […]
Throughout the entirety of Indy Sportsbook’s (albeit very short) history, we have prided ourselves on our commitment to each issue’s theme. Whether we are making puns about love and sex or examining how gambling can fit into the counterculture, we strive to make our degenerate musings a worthy inclusion. For the first unthemed issue of […]
The Sex Issue is the Harvard Independent’s biggest theme of the year, but it has proven to be a little tricky for us over here at Indy Sportsbook. While we consider both gambling and sex very worthwhile vices, the overlap between them is few and far between. Gambling is certainly not the “sexiest” subject—good luck […]
It goes without saying that the sports gambling industry has experienced a meteoric rise over the past few years. Widespread legalization has made wagering more accessible than ever before. A Harvard student will soon be able to bet on events as obscure as second-division Australian soccer (we like West Adelaide at +130) from the comfort […]
