Personal Interests

In his own words “As an absolute sports fanatic, it made sense to turn to the world of sports content many years ago, and while there’s plenty of challenges in my role, I know how lucky I am to work in an industry that’s also a huge part of my personal life. I love sports, but most of all, I love live sports. The buzz of a stadium, arena or racecourse as the atmosphere builds cannot be beaten, even if it’s a non-league football game with 50 in attendance.”

Craig’s Top Tips for Sports Betting

  1. Value, Value, Value

Find value when you bet. Whether it’s finding a slightly better price, getting better terms on your bet, or using a site offering a consolation bonus if you lose. There’s so many ways to add value, the market has never been so good, make sure you shop around and utilise everything you have available. In some instances, especially with place terms on each way bets, it could be the difference between winning and losing. 

  1. Bonuses and Promotions

Don’t be afraid of bonuses. Some people still think these are a con with hidden terms, but that’s not the case. The gambling industry is so competitive that bonuses are one of the few ways in which brands can stand out from the competition. If it suits your betting style, use it to your advantage, just make sure you fully understand any terms and conditions before you go ahead. 

  1.  Get All the Facts

In the modern world, we’ve got all the information we need at our fingertips. From team news, injury updates, quotes from racehorse trainers, line ups and more. A quick search and you’ll get everything you need. It should only take a few minutes, but could give you key information to use when determining your bets for the day.
