Graeme Dand

Graeme Dand, aka The Form Analyst, is a keen racing form reader and specialises in handicaps on both the flat and NH racing. Graeme has been writing about betting since 2008, when he started his first blog to track his online betting journey. He ran a successful horseracing tipping service from Oct-08 to Nov-09 before turning his attention to football modelling. Graeme was a big advocate of using shots on target data to derive an edge in the football markets and he ended up launching and running a successful football subscription service for 5 years from 2011-2015 alongside his punting exploits.

After a few years break from betting to start a family, Graeme returned in 2018 with a strategy solely focussed on making money from finding overpriced selections at the racing and trading them on Betfair to generate profits. Graeme started writing for Colossus in 2018 and predominantly focusses on Place 6 bets on the racing where he has developed himself a small edge.
