Ed Hawkins

Ed Hawkins is betting.betfair's chief cricket tipster. He has been a tipster for more than 12 years, the majority at the Racing Post.

He has built a reputation as shrewd student of the game thanks to memorable tipping feats like tipping Pakistan for glory at the 2009 World Twenty20, Rajasthan for inaugural IPL glory and a 90 per cent profit on the World Cup in the Caribbean.

During England Test matches he writes a live betting blog, despairing at Alastair Cook's technique and turning to copious amounts of cake to cope with the trauma of it all.
