About The Author

Rob Furber

Rob Furber has worked as a journalist for over 30 years. From meeting the man who plans to live forever to the uncensored truth about stag dos, his wry, insightful scribings have adorned some of the UK’s top news-stand titles including the Daily Telegraph, Britain’s number one women’s magazine, Glamour, and leading men’s lifestyle magazines Arena and Maxim. Two decades ago he stumbled across the unusual sideline of TV betting, putting his media savvy credentials to more lucrative use when sussing out Darren Gough was a great bet to win Strictly Come Dancing in 2005 at 25-1. Four years later he helped launch a leading TV betting analysis platform that he runs to this day, and which continues to rack up impressive profits for its subscribers. Since 2012 Rob has been covering Eurovision for the Daily Mirror, helping land a number of exclusives. He also writes for the world’s largest sports betting exchange, Betfair.
