I now use a vast collection of sports data to help tell a story and highlight the best odds available in various sports at Gambling.com and bookmakers.co.uk.
All eyes will be on Aintree on Saturday afternoon as the best jump jockeys line up for the 2024 Grand National.
Standing between them and glory are 30 fences, which will test the riding ability of all the jockeys taking part.
It's the biggest race of the year for UK betting sites, where a long shot has just as much chance of winning as the favourite.

The Best Grand National Betting Sites
The world's best steeplechase will take place on Saturday, April 13 when the 176th renewal of the Grand National gets under way at Aintree at 4pm.
It's a race that brings a nation together in what is the biggest race of the year for betting apps, with experienced punters and novices hoping to land a winner.
It's the blue ribbon race of the three-day festival which brings the nation to a standstill for around 10 minutes.
