“Why spend your time being sh*te at football in the pissing rain, when you can sit indoors and write about how sh*te the professionals are.” - Michael McKean

In Michael’s career as a copywriter and journalist, he’s written about everything from language and travel to music, tech, sports, and esports- and has plied his trade in the UK, Switzerland, Brazil and a handful of EU nations. With a flair for writing everything from the pragmatic and serious, right down to the plain silly and ridiculous, Michael has earned a reputation among his fellow writers and editors for being the ultimate “Banterous Professional” (no one’s ever actually said that, he just made it up - coining the term “Banterous Professional” in the process).

Interesting facts about the author

  • Fun Fact!: I played the Rugrats Cookie game with my dad on US TV when I was five.
  • Fun Fact!: I’m better at Overwatch than Fifa, despite wishing it was the other way around.
  • Fun Fact!: I am a keen longboard surfer, despite only starting in my late 20s.

Testimonials from Colleagues

Mike reached his current height of 6”2 before his 14th birthday, with his inability to head the ball leaving a great many youth coaches amazed and disappointed in equal measure at how useless he was in the box during set pieces, despite being a foot taller than everyone else around him.

(Sadly though his greatest achievement at betting.co.uk is being mistaken for another Michael).

We asked

What is your favourite video game?
Hmmm, that’s a tough choice so I’m going to give you three answers. To play online - Overwatch. To play with friends - Fifa. To watch and bet on - Valorant.
Are you a cat or a dog person?
If you’d asked me this three months ago, I would’ve said dogs hands down. However, after much persuasion from my partner, I caved and we adopted a stray cat and I fell in love straight away. Still love dogs though - so can I say both?
What’s your favourite TV Show?
Can I say Sportscene and Match of the Day? That’s too boring, isn’t it? I’ve become more of a podcast person these days (mostly sports and esports-related), as I like the fact that their content can be consumed whilst doing something active.
