My name is Doug Hirdle, and I am the main author at Betting.ca. As a huge sports fan, for years I have thought about running a website that\u2019s going to provide people with the latest news from the world of sports. However, watching sports is not my only passion, as I also love betting on them. 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\/9622","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=9622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
