Meet Melanie Gervasoni
Melanie Gervasoni
I've been a copywriter for almost 10 years now. The job, broadly, is getting people to read things they were fully prepared to scroll past. At 7bet, what I write about is sports and casinos.
Areas of Expertise
English football
Major tournaments
Pre-match analysis
Betting markets
Tennis
Basketball
Writing Approach
The stuff I’m proudest of is the articles you finish reading and come away actually understanding the game a bit better. I try my hardest to keep my English as plain as possible so that even beginners can grasp the topic.
How Do You Stay Up to Date?
- Stats and analytics platforms for form, xG, and head-to-head numbers
- Official league and club sites for confirmed team news and lineups
- Football news outlets, both British and continental press
- Odds movement across the books
- Watching live sports, obviously
Featured Work & Quick Facts
Approximate published articles: I must have written more than 800 articles throughout my career – these are a few I particularly enjoyed writing for 7bet.
Education & Languages
- I have a degree in Marketing, Sales and Export Management, which sounds grander than my daily to-do list usually is, but it's how I ended up writing for a living.
- I work in two languages: Italian, my native language, and English, which I'm fluent enough in to argue about football.
