Mike Holden is one of the UK's leading football betting tipsters. A former casino croupier with a deep-rooted curiosity in statistics and probabilities, his passion for betting on the beautiful game stretches back more than two decades, long before the days of tax-free betting and internet exchanges. Since graduating as a journalist from the University of Central Lancashire in 2005, he has delivered consistent profits for his legion of followers on Sportinglife.com and written many groundbreaking feature articles on the application of social science in a football betting context. Born and raised an archetypal Mancunian, his fascination with cultural identity prompted him to leave behind his beloved Manchester City and seek a new life in the Spanish coastal city of Valencia back in 2008. He is now the editor of Bestofthebets.com, having orchestrated the design, build and launch of the new sports betting website for Gaming Media Group during the summer of 2011.
