Mark Iverson Professional Sports Trader
Mark is 31 years old and lives in South Wales. His history with gambling started a long time ago. When he was very young he had a condition with his hip that stopped him from going to school. The only person available to look after him was his Grandfather so every afternoon he’d push his wheelchair to the betting shop where he’d end up fighting the smoke to try and pick some winners. His parents didn’t mind until he started to back at school - every morning he’d scan the daily paper to read the horses form and give his tips for the day. They stopped the paper soon after and that was it – he was hooked.

Andrew Black was a software programmer and a professional card player and he came up with the idea of peer-to-peer gambling site Betfair.com in the late ’90s. “I worked up a prototype in my spare time and was confident it would attract punters [gamblers] — because I am one,” he said. It worked and Betfair is a success story to be proud of.
