David Purdum’s Biography
I'm a 39-year-old writer with a passion for original reporting and storytelling.
I have applied my background in traditional journalism to covering the mysterious gaming industry for the past five years.
I have profiled renowned professional sports bettor Billy Walters and broken stories about the hypocrisy of the NFL's stance on sports betting.
I have built a global network of sources, including Las Vegas and UK bookmakers, underground bookies, politicians, lawyers and gamblers.
I cover this fascinating industry like no other.
