He has been immersed in the world of gambling from a very young age having been brought up in a horse racing family in Newmarket (UK). He has forged a career that has combined his love of sports, his passion for writing, and his fascination with math and probability. Ben’s interests and expertise provide him with blend of understanding what it’s like to be a diehard sports fan (a season ticket holder at West Ham United), as well as knowing all about the inner workings of the world’s sharpest bookmaker thanks to his experience in the trading offices at Pinnacle. Throughout his career, Ben has pushed to provide unique insight to the betting community. He led the team that founded Pinnacle’s Betting Resources education portal, he launched the betting industry-focused Pinnacle Podcast, and during his time with Oddspedia he has researched, written, and edited over 250 bookmaker and bonus reviews. ### What advice would you give to the community? Understand what type of bettor you are. If you’re truly betting for fun, set yourself a monthly budget and stick to it. If you want to make money long term, be prepared for the time and effort it’s going to take. Develop your strategies, stick to your staking methods, and always be prepared for that regression to the mean. ### Media Mentions ![Ben Cronin](https://cdn.oddspedia.com/images/betting/2025/05/ben-2.jpg) Ben Cronin [Virtual Games Real Winners ](https://www.egr.global/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/EGR%5FVirtualeSports%5F2021.pdf "Virtual Games Real Winners") This report provides viewpoints from industry leading firms which reflect on what has been a disruptive year for the sports betting ind...
