#BettingPeople

John talks about his love of the betting ring, the betting jungle, the colourful characters, how he misses tictacs, bookmakers going skint, losing money as a failed bookmaker, punter and journalist. The sad decline of Greyhound Racing. The Greyhound Derby, Football betting, Cricket, the Jockey Club running racing as a business when they should be preserving it.
