Joseph Buchdahl

A science graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge University and former environmental scientist, my interest-turned-career as a sports betting analyst was sparked in 1991 being a bet runner for Patrick Veitch, a prodigal mathematician and now Britain's most feared horse racing gambler. In my quest to emulate him I have spent 20 years collecting and analysing sports data to find a profitable advantage. Since 2001 Football-data.co.uk has provided historical results and odds data to help others achieve the same goal. My books on sports betting, tipping, gambling and investing tell the story of how my views about these subjects have evolved during that time, and a means of sharing what I've learnt during this journey.
