That\u2019s why I created a website called Betting.ca and began writing reviews of top Canadian sports betting operators and casino sites, while also writing some sports news on the side.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DHirdle"],"url":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/author\/doug-hirdle"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
