Jon Young Expertise
Let’s dive in to Jon’s areas of expertise:
I have been tipping and writing about English Premier League soccer since the early 2000s. I was responsible for daily betting diaries during major tournaments and for providing outright prediction analysis as the big leagues went live.
I’ve been interested in novelty markets since the 2016 Brexit vote caught all gamblers and sportsbooks by surprise. This has now expanded with the explosion in online prediction markets where you can trade on everything from the next U.S. president to the outcome of the Eurovision Song Contest. Gamblers now have to conduct deeper research and gain insight into political markets to stay ahead of the pack.
In-play betting has made tennis one of the most exciting markets around. With accurate live match trackers and ball-by-ball analysis, there’s never been a better time to bet on tennis.
