We sat down with the creator of FormKing, David Pfundt, to discuss his data analytics platform and how it is revolutionising the horse racing and wagering industries. David is an accomplished software engineer who found his love of wagering when watching the 2015 Cox Plate. From there, he realised he could use his expertise to develop a platform to help punters find an edge. This is how he began FormKing. To date, FormKing has become one of the most well known data platforms for punters and is ever growing.
Listen to David's story, where he plans to head with FormKing in the near future, and why he loves using Betfair over other WSP's.
