Hey there! I’m Alyx—Greek by heritage, Londoner by heart, and yes, a girl with a boy’s name. Camden Town is my stomping ground, and when I’m not writing about sports betting and casino gaming, I’m down the pub with a pint, backing my beloved Arsenal.

Growing up as a tomboy in North London, I didn’t have much choice when it came to football loyalties. In my family, you were either for Arsenal or, well… you didn’t mention Tottenham. I came of age in the mid-90s, right as legends like Ian Wright and David Seaman ruled Highbury, and the passion around those games was electric. My uncles made the decision even easier: they’d have confiscated my cherished Subbuteo set if I hadn’t sworn my allegiance to the Gunners. And just like that, Arsenal wasn’t just a team—it was family.
