The young guy became seriously interested in gambling at the age of 9, when he played slot machines on West Street. Tony and his friends collected a common bank and went to the only machine where they calculated certain sequences and algorithms. In this way, Bloom, along with his comrades, earned money for entertainment. Parents took this occupation seriously and did everything so that their son would stop spending money on gambling. The father could not do anything with the enthusiasm of the offspring, but if he knew what it would lead to in the future.

This brought him the first big money. Following this, he was noticed by the bookmaker Victor Chandler, who suggested that he join forces and capture the Asian betting market by opening his own office.
Everything went very well and in 2002, he founded his own bookmaker PremierBet. His playground specialized in Asian handicaps. Bloom set all the quotes in the BC with his own hand, because he was well versed in mathematics and probability theory. Later, a department with poker tables was opened, because card games were the real passion of the future millionaire.
The main event in the life of Tony Bloom was the creation of Starlizard in 2006. The name came from his poker name “Lizard”. He received such a nickname for a very aggressive manner of playing and composure.
