Expert Guide

You know how punters get lost in too much data or bet blindly? I break down the stats and trends so you can feel confident you’re betting with more than just gut instinct.

About

I’ve been writing major event previews for OLBG since 2005, covering everything from Cheltenham and Royal Ascot to Formula 1 and NHL. Over the years, I’ve learned that without the right analysis, most bets are just guesswork.

That’s why I focus on helping you see the bigger picture.
I break down key stats, trends, and long-term patterns to give you a clearer view of the race, match, or event. I don’t do tips. I guide you through the information that actually matters.

I use my own custom racing ratings system to identify angles that might otherwise go unnoticed. Whether you’re into motorsport, horse racing, or top-level ice hockey, I highlight the important stuff.

You need clear, reliable insight, and that’s what I’m here to give you.

"The right information won’t guarantee a win, but it can change how you play the game."

💬 Quotes from Andrew Powell

"Understanding the numbers is just the beginning; interpreting them to unlock the true value in sports betting is where the real skill lies." 

"Every tip shared is a piece of advice honed from years of analysis and passion for sport. My goal at OLBG is not just to inform, but to empower our community."
