The Betfair Stable / Editor / 29 November 2007 / Leave a comment

Tony Calvin has been at Betfair since June 2002, and is currently the senior press officer in the Communications team.

Calvin has been on the other side of the journalist fence too, having worked for the Racing Post between 1987 and 1999, and currently also writes for weekly racing publications, Weekender and Raceform Update.

In his 12-year spell at the Racing Post, among other duties he was their rugby tipster and founded, wrote and edited the "Spreadwise" spread betting column.

Calvin makes no secret of the fact that he remains a very keen and active rugby punter, and likes nothing better than trading a 6pm live Currie Cup match on a Friday evening, especially if it features a short-priced favourite.
