In more recent times he has turned his attention, and mathematical skills, to beating the bookies. He loves sharing his wisdom on many gambling sports. Number crunching, analyzing historical data, strategizing and giving his selections on anything from Darts to Formula 1.
A connoisseur of British sports gambling history, in his spare time Roy loves travelling around Europe and skiing (slowly) down blue slopes in the Alps.
