Q&A with Martin Green

What’s the biggest myth about gambling that you wish would disappear forever?

News outlets claiming that the bookies “got it wrong” after the favorite loses an election or a sporting event. Bookmakers aren’t pollsters, and it’s not their job to forecast events. They simply offer odds that will encourage bettors to place wagers, balance their risk, and try to earn a margin.

If you had to explain sports betting or online casinos to a complete beginner, what’s the one mistake you’d warn them about immediately?

Avoid sucker bets at the casino. Don’t bet on Big 6 or Big 8 when playing craps, and stay away from the American roulette (double zero) table, as it has a huge house edge. Play games for free in demo mode at online casinos, and then switch to playing for real money when you’ve mastered them.

What is your approach to responsible gambling and player safety in your writing?

I always encourage readers to set a budget and stick to it. Success is never guaranteed, so don’t risk money you can’t afford to lose. I also encourage readers to enjoy gambling sites in moderation and to set up time limits on their accounts.

What makes your perspective on gambling different from other writers in the industry?

Most of my family work in the gambling industry, and my uncle runs a large casino in Pennsylvania. I worked for William Hill for five years, and I’ve been writing about the industry for more than 15 years.
