A librarian by profession, Wayne Bailey holds a degree in social science from University College Dublin. Wayne has always enjoyed sport and has been punting ever since his late father would give him 50p every Saturday to pick out a horse! His first real bet as an adult however, was on the one and only Istabraq in the 1998 Champion Hurdle and he’s had the racing bug ever since.

Wayne has been involved with horse racing for nearly a decade as a punter, writer and now owner. He currently pens ‘The Betting Ring’ column for the Irish Independent every Saturday and also writes a twice weekly blog for Betfair.

Wayne helped set up Let’s Bet – a thriving forum for sports betting fans everywhere. He lives in Dublin with his wife and young daughter.
