About the author: Nick is an award-winning journalist who has worked in a variety of media and on a wide array of subject matter, including financial journalism (Bloomberg), sports and cannabis. Originally from the U.K., he is based in Denver where he enjoys hiking, birdwatching, playing golf with his teenage sons and drinking snobby European wine. The piece of writing he is most proud of getting published was a long-form essay on the intersection between cricket and racial justice.
I remember the thrill and trepidation the first time I entered a betting shop on the high street of my hometown in England.
