    Every gambler has great stories to tell I'm 70 and gambled all my life. All my mates used to say I was a fearless gambler and I loved hearing them say it .but as the years have gone by i realise I was a fearless mug .I worked hard and had my own business I didn't need to gamble as I had plenty and holidayed all over the world and every car i bought was brand new .I loved the excitement and all the bookies loved me .one used to give me my own teller when I visited his bookies.I still gamble to day I've lost everything as well as family and MYSELF and live in a housing association flat on my own skint.Everybody used to love to listen to my stories in the pub.I've got thousands of interesting stories with big bets in the thousands not millions like Harry .I've had the ups as well as the downs and loved it .it's my family and their families that suffered with me not giving them the attention they deserved .Yes it was easy to throw money at them and think I deserved to enjoy myself gambling after working very hard
    I'm not resentful at gambling I'm resentful at myself for being a mug and having no discipline.
    I've seen the gamblers come and go and 99% end up.skint .I hope Harry keeps winning he's a legend.but I wish I had been more normal and less of a mug and never gambled at all because I'm an addict with no discipline .I don't want any of my children or grandchildren to gamble and end up like me a waste of space
    Ps yes I was very generous I bought the local tramps home new beds and gave thousands to charities .little did I know that one day I would be lineing up with them for a free m eal.
    My fav saying is a fool and his money are soon parted,and there's no bigger fool than me

      My stories the same, I’ve gambled for the last 10 years, 16-26, I’m 26 now, I got £250 deposit to 12.5k over 3 weeks on sports bets, chased a £700 loss, and ended up losing 12.5k, plus 5k of credit cards, spent 5 years with no job paying off the 5k, it’s pure evil mate, how are you now, I’d love to hear your stories

      I'm in bed and have not left it for the past three days with depression ,PLEASE DONT END UP LIKE ME , I will guarantee you 100% you will if you don't stop
      Had everything and lost everything it's an illness ,
      In 1989 I was Fred dones biggest winner he wanted to buy me a bottle of champagne and have his photo with me for free advertising for him in the paper ,I refused as the blokes in the pub would have been knocking at my door at all hours for a loan ,it was bad enough before that win,He got all that back plus plenty more ,PLEASE STOP NOW LIFES FOR LIVING NOT FOR GAMBLING
      I WORKED HARD AND MADE PLENTY ,NO NEED TO GAMBLE BUT THE THOUGHT THAT I KNEW BETTER THAN THE BOOKIES MADE ME SELF DESTRUCT ,WITH MY FANTASY THAT I COULD WIN EASY MONEY , IM NOT ON MY OWN THERES MANY THOUSANDS OF SICK PEOPLE LIKE ME DONT ADD TO THAT NUMBER

    20 minutes into the podcast listening to a professional gambler who has made millions over decades, speaking about his experiences betting, how he managed to get an edge, the other different pro gamblers he has worked with....
    "So what actually is the difference between a casino and sports betting"

    Findlay thinks Denman was better than Arkle for anyone who thinks he knows what he's talking about. You can always spot a fool because they're the ones saying X was better than Arkle. There were two seperate handicaps prepared depending on whether arkle was running in the race or not.

    Very interesting but they didn't ask him where he got his stake money from when he was "skint" which was on quite a few occassions. Did he sell a house/ borrow it off family or friends and then if he did and he lost the lot again, where did he get the next lot of stake money ?
