Professional introduction
Paul Krishnamurty writes and broadcasts about political betting markets. He describes a career that developed from semi-professional to professional gambler, and now combines roles as a freelance consultant and journalist.
Where he works
He is the senior political oddsmaker for betonline.ag and writes freelance, with political betting analysis published at gambling.com and republished on The Political Gambler Substack.
Political betting expertise
His work focuses on finding angles in political markets, analysing them and avoiding common mistakes. He has been betting successfully on politics for 25 years, since the 2001 UK General Election, and has been writing about it from soon after that time. He covers UK and US elections in detail, leadership contests and big international elections.
Some highlights from his career include backing every Labour leader since Gordon Brown, including Jeremy Corbyn at 28/1 and most recently Andy Burnham at odds ranging from 6/1 to 16/1. The last three UK general elections have been especially profitable, with a near perfect record in constituency betting.
Media and podcasts
He has appeared on numerous TV, radio and podcasts, most recently for eventual.news, and is available for the full range of media work.
