My journey – Part one

16/06/2010 | By More

To understand where I am today, you need to wind the clock back to my childhood and the spark that created everything.

Many moons ago I was born to a pretty average family. My father was a carpenter and my Mum worked in a petrol station. My family had pretty unspectacular lineage and most of my immediate relatives lived within a few miles radius. I didn’t get the best start in life (that’s another story) but I loved playing sport, but that was about all I really enjoyed. As a result I just bumbled through my early years at school.

One day I visited a friend, his Dad has just bought a Commodore Pet. My friend showed me how to get it to put my name up on the screen and from that simple start I started to dabble in home computers. I coaxed my Dad into buying a ZX81 and I started to mess around with it.

My Dad often handed me his football pools coupon, so the first thing I really tried was to write some simple basic to analyse football matches. The idea was to try and understand what created a draw. I looked at many different things, but by collecting and analysing football results I slowly realised what ‘created’ a draw. With that in mind I set about optimising my football pools entry to try and get some dividends. Slowly the dividends started to come in and eventually I bagged a first dividend on Littlewoods pools. All this activity on the football pools sparked my interest in Gambling markets and I started to research how they worked and if there was a way to profit from them.

Tomorrow, my journey from Gambling to financial markets.

I left a good job in the consumer technology industry to go a trade on Betfair for a living way back in June 2000. I've been here ever since pushing very boundaries of what's possible on betting exchanges and loved every minute of it.
