“The Odds Millionaire” — An Interview with Jonas Gjelstad by NRK, Norway’s Largest News Channel

In Jonas Gjelstad’s bedroom in Bayswater, London, there are two big screens, as well as a laptop. On his desk is a tube of snus and a roll of fifty-pound notes. “Spending money”, according to the 26-year-old. It is especially on the weekends it boils here, with football rounds being played throughout Europe.

- On Saturdays and Sundays the workday starts around ten o’clock. It is important to be online when the lineups are released. Usually, I sit and bet until 9 in the evening.

So you are staying put in front of these three-four screens, just interrupted by running to the kitchen to cook some food?

- No, we order food at the door. But we consume a lot of coffee and snus!

Gjelstad has always been keen to bet on football, and recalls that he already started as a four-year-old.
