Apart from across the Casino and Sports at Gambling.com, Dean is the current host and many would say best-looking member of the hugely popular #Racehour Podcast on Soundcloud and YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. Well worth subscribing to for all horse racing fans!

Dean is often found at the many wonderful race courses of Ireland, living locally to Fairyhouse, the home of the Irish Grand National is a bonus. If a game of golf, cards, or relative skill is on offer or a major sporting event is on the television then you can expect that an edge will be found, a handicap overstated, and a wager struck as par for the course.

"I’ve been involved in betting since I was allowed to enter a racecourse or a high street bookmakers, finding value, testing the brain and trying to get an edge. At Gambling.com I get the opportunity to provide opinion on many topics across Sports and Casino and have a passion for sound use of skills when it comes to online gambling. I love the Cheltenham Festival and Las Vegas, not at the same time of course.” Dean Ryan.
