How James Blissett went from dog walker to world class gambling tipster

A tipster in the top 1% of people in the world who regularly beats the bookies, says his career was inspired by his grandad who taught him tricks when he was just five years old.

As a youngster, James Blissett would travel with his grandfather to the greyhound kennels every Sunday, walk and feed the dogs, before having a chat about upcoming races.

And every weekend, James would visit greyhound tracks in Wimbledon and Romford, where he was shown how to place bets on the pups. He loved drawing a circle around which dog he thought would win. 

Being so familiar with the greyhound racing scene and his grandad’s tips, he would often make the winning pick on a pre-race stat sheet with a pound bet punted on his behalf.

But thanks to his early start in gambling, he built on the determination that his grandad – who owned and bred greyhounds – had instilled in him. 

As he grew older, James met professional sports bettors from many different industries and his interest grew beyond dogs. Before he knew it, he was gambling on sports and earning an income.

At a time when Conor McGregor was taking the world by storm, mixed martial arts was beginning to grow more popular than ever before. James quickly fell in love with the sport and had soon forgotten about anything else. He began training in martial arts not long after. 

In 2015, he couldn’t resist any longer and placed his first bet on the fights. 

He is currently in profit on every single type of bet, odds range, and weight class across all combat sports organizations (PFL, Bellator, and UFC).
