Declan Murphy

Declan Murphy brings a unique perspective to Irish Fortune as our lead Sports Betting Analyst. With a background in sports journalism and over 6 years covering betting markets, Declan combines his passion for Irish sports with analytical expertise to deliver betting insights that give our readers the edge.

A former semi-professional GAA footballer from County Cork, Declan understands the sports he covers from the inside out. His playing experience, combined with his mathematical approach to odds analysis, makes him one of Ireland's most trusted voices in sports betting.

Declan graduated with honours from University College Cork with a degree in Sports Science and Statistics. He spent three years as a betting odds compiler before transitioning to sports journalism, giving him rare insight into how bookmakers think.

His weekly column "Murphy's Law" has become essential reading for Irish punters, and his pre-match analysis videos have garnered millions of views. Beyond football and GAA, Declan specializes in horse racing, having grown up near Leopardstown Racecourse.

When not analyzing the latest odds, you'll find Declan coaching the local under-16s GAA team or hiking in the Wicklow Mountains.
