Richard started betting at a young age after frequent visits to the horses with his father and persuading his classmates to gamble on wrestling events. Luckily his teacher stopped him days before a huge loss on the Royal Rumble. After graduating in Newspaper Journalism Richard started blogging on sports which lead to a job opportunity as a content provider at Ladbrokes where he spent five years. After moving to Sweden in 2012 Richard has been working as a freelancer (including spells at the European Handball Association and for the International Paralympic Committee) before returning to his first love of football betting tips. He is a Norwich fan with special interests in the Championship and the Swedish top-flight (Allsvenskan)
