A professional writer for over a decade, Mark Jenner draws on a background shaped by years of strategic thinking and risk analysis. Before turning to writing, he spent many years immersed in the world of poker grinding cash games, studying tournament strategy, and treating the game as a serious, long-term pursuit. He also ran betting systems on Betfair, backing and laying across a range of sports to find consistent value. To reduce risk and lock in profits, he would arb across multiple sportsbooks and take advantage of live in-game market swings, always looking for angles others missed. These days, his main focus is BBQ. He runs a website dedicated to it, barbecues several times a week, and can usually be found outside with the smoker going, sports on the outdoor TV, and a cold beer in hand. He’s still a keen sports fan and bets recreationally multiple times a week, usually eking out a small profit.
