Christian Hellmers
Entrepreneur and Wellness Coach

Christian’s father introduced him to the races at Del Mar after his family moved down from Long Beach. He has loved analyzing this game since the age of fourteen and still does to this day.

He finished first in the Santa Anita Handicapping Tournament in 1998 as part of the twenty something "Pick6Boys" with Nissan Gabbay and Kevin McFarland for a $24,000 payout. He then finished second in the 2011 and 2012 Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge earning over $121,000 and over $150,000 after starting with a bankroll of $7500.

Christian like to live in the moment, run half/full marathons, eat healthy animal friendly vegan food, love the "Burning Man" art festival and lifestyle, spin a fire staff, adore the ocean, use muscle-testing often and respect David Hawkins' work, coach people on alternative health, nutrition, dating and relationships. He lives with six other brilliant people in a mansion known as the "The Passion Mansion". He has traveled around the world as a Director for Betfair attempting to legalize exchange wagering but came up empty yet led the TVG acquisition for Betfair Limited. By teaming up with fellow UCLA engineering students he was able to disrupt the music industry's business model at internet start-up Scour.net<http://scour.net/>. He was involved with multiple startups, i.e. DivXNetworks et al and worked alongside brilliant young technology minds.

Christian would build a symbolic piece of art for a Burning Man festival and would donate 5-10% to retired horse programs, explore ways to raise consciousness in health for animals and the planet, as well as help out my family and friends and local artists in need.

Some bio, that.

I'm a little surprised Betfair decided on someone so off the wall, to pitch betting exchanges with.
