About Benjamin Booth

I have been involved in the betting industry for over 20 years. I am an expert in the fields of horse racing odds compilation/risk management and live/online no limit Texas hold 'em cash games and tournaments. I am also proficient at pot limit Omaha. I like a multitude of sports and am able to compile odds quickly and accurately for them. I have excellent risk analysis skills and enjoy problem solving and puzzles. My years of work across the industry have led to a high level understanding of probability and range analysis, skills which could be transferred to other fields. I work well under pressure, as part of a team and on my own. I am personable, articulate and hard working.I am passionate about sport. I played football to a competitive level and have a golf handicap of 14 which I am constantly working to improve. I enjoy the outdoors, fishing and camping. I also enjoy driving and have experience in single seater Formula Palmersport Audis.
