About Daniel Smyth

Daniel Smyth is a long-time gambling writer with a passion for poker, casino gaming, and sports betting. His poker journey began at university. This led him into the competitive world of sit-and-go tournaments, where he was backed by SNG pro Collin Moshman. Coaching other players during this time sparked a love of teaching that naturally transitioned into a writing career. Daniel has covered major poker events, written strategy columns, and now produces expert content for top industry publications. His work blends hands-on experience with a talent for making complex topics easy to understand.

Since then, he has expanded his focus to include online casino gaming and sports betting, providing readers with trusted insights on everything from blackjack strategy to betting odds.
