Interview with Trademate Sports

by Leave a Comment

Here’s a wide-ranging interview that I enjoyed from earlier this year, with Alex Vella of Trademate Sports, discussing my career, and political betting in depth.

It was a good intro to who I am, how I work and built my career as a professional gambler and subsequently, political betting analyst and consultant.

We also discuss various angles that gamblers and traders may find useful. From how to bet on politics, what signals to look out for, to my early views on the T20 Cricket World Cup!

Paul Krishnamurty, aka The Political Gambler, has been chief analyst for the world’s leading betting exchange, Betfair.com, for nine years. A politics graduate from the University of Hull, he has been successfully predicting elections since the turn of the century. In the recent Labour leadership contest, he tipped eventual winner Jeremy Corbyn when he was the 24/1 outsider, mocked and dismissed by the mainstream media.

Having mastered political betting in UK General Elections and party leadership contests, 2008 was his first US election. He backed both Barack Obama at 10/1 to become President and John McCain at 20/1 for the Republican Nomination. From 2010 onwards, he strongly and consistently advised backing Obama to win a second term.

The 2016 US Presidential Election will be the biggest betting event of all-time, and Paul is devoting the entire year to touring the USA. He’ll be covering all the debates and primaries, ahead of the main contest. Check here for regular analysis, betting updates and tips!
