What's the reason behind your alias: Jamdog's my street name, blood. It's what the hustlers and ballers on street corners be calling me. You get me?
What's the real reason? Marmalade Hound was already taken.
So this betting thing then. Why? I get bored really easily, have no attention span and absolutely no patience so I need to put money on things to make life more interesting.
How did you start? I was always interested in betting but too cautious to do it regularly - I would generally have three or four bets a year on the Premiership outright and the World Cup if it was on.
Then one day in 2002 I decided to put £50 on Newcastle to beat West Ham on a whim. They did 3-1. After that, it had its hooks in me.
What are you betting on now? My remarkable TBGS system, Reality TV when it comes up and short-priced football favourites.
Your finest bet: Probably backing Bolton to finish in the top six at 50-1 last year.
Your worst bet: A combination of bets on the 2003 Xmas number one market. I made a wrong call and tried to buy my way out of trouble. It didn't work and I had a cauliflower arse for about a month.
Best piece of betting advice you've ever received: "Betting is a balance between fear and greed. Too much fear and you don't win as big as you should, too much greed and you lose more than you should."
From: Some mush whose name I forget.
Best piece of betting advice you can give: Specialise. Bet on what you know and enjoy watching. If you're not enjoying it, what's the point?
What is it with you and posh girls? I think it's a case of "opposites attract" - they're posh as fook, I'm common as mook.
Best bookmakers: Pinnacle - they have the unique combination of being a solid company with small margins and big limits.
Worst bookmakers: Eurobet seem colossally pointless with their arbitrary minimum trebles and shitty little limits.
Name one thing that would most improve the quality of your betting life: A profound intuitive grasp of probability.
What's your vision of Paradise? Paradise should elevate, inform and entertain.
The worst thing about betting is: Enduring 28 minutes of injury-time on LiveScore because they miscalculated the kick-off time and having the flashing number 90 permanently burned onto your retinas as a result.
The best thing about betting is: 1-0 F-T! Who needs retinas?
Any last words? Always judge a book by its cover. Never apologise. Never explain. Never back down.
Keep a fresh pair of kicks. Never date a girl whose mom's name is Bruno. Never have anything worth stealing.
Lie to everybody, especially your friends. Always have something to say. Always give them something to remember you by.
Treat love and cooking the same - never eat something you've just come in.
Never trust anybody who everybody likes. Eat fresh fruit and veg. Be polite to strangers.
And avoid progressive staking.
