- Old documentary rescued from VHS after 15 years in the loft. It follows professional gambler Harry Findlay to get a view of his day-to-day ups an downs and his unique insights into life, working and London. (Terry Ramsden and Dave Ulliot also on this channel)
- Zábava
I remember Harry in the eighties standing on the steps at Hackney dogs. Everyone knew he was there because he has a presence about him. Miss all the other characters there too. Wonderful wonderful days
Even if he's broke he's lived the life and done things people can only dream of. like Harry or not he's got my respect and I hope comes back larger than ever.
props to successful gamblers like this guy , living how we all want to ,only cowards and losers slag this guy down
I believe he recently filed for bankruptcy.
balooko31 yeah? bt as he said the bookies cant take it all back eh
People like him have something called BOLLOCKS.
Tommy England
hes from downley in high wycombe mate
balooko31 Harry has been wiped out quite a few times but he always seems to come back,he doesnt stay down for long.
Love this documentary. Always watch it when I need some inspiration
Me too
Same
Harry Findlay, living legend.
“The bookies can’t get it back”
Could watch this bloke all day
Fantastic horses & greyhounds and good luck to you.
I love this. If he's still above ground, he should get a crew to follow him more often. This is great tv. I love backing horses myself. He's got some balls though.

Grow up David. think of the poor bookies who he reluctantly paid back over an unreasonable amount of time
ty for uploading this video,,, i havent seen this one b4,,, cheers m8
when Harry walks in having a go because he had to wait so long for a cab and then the accountant just interrupts him with can you shut the door please hahahah
Thanks for sharing this great video with us. It's amazing
No worries mate, I was amazed it still played off the VHS! If you like gambling docs there's Devilfish and Terry Ramsden on here too, from the same VHS :)
Excellent video, the good old days Harry F top man.
Good vid, proper sporting gambler, keeps coming back, he's a funny guy
This was filmed in 97. Findlay said in an interview that after this was filmed he was £200k in debt and had to put up the deeds to his house in Sheffield. Then the next summer in 98 he made over a million betting on the 98 world cup.
Sold that house and red bmw and al 😂 near lost the pot in India but got rained off. Draw. My god.
The horse race he is watching that he 'lumped on' is Suranom ridden by Jason Titley at Ludlow, 24th March 1997.
This is intersesting.
There is always been something very likable about Harry!
Enjoyed the video knobhead. Thanx for uploading it bludclaat. Respek from Jamaica :0)
Legend. Lives life to the full.
He doesnt really seem like he has lived life to the full he knows race tracks and phones ... but has he seen mountains ... met diff types of people ... learned other languages travelled to crazy places spent time with family ....written poetry ? seen streets and museums?? philosophized?? he seems to lead a very sheltered life.
We are poles apart. I am a large price backer but i respect Harry and what he did for my sport; horses. That ain't even his passion.
Hope he's well and I can assure you he's too passionate to be dis-honest.
Chin up H
Lol, I was getting seriously nostalgic going through the tapes. It's great, as you don't know what's going to be on next. Shame the quality is rubbish and it takes ages :D
Dust dancer’s pissed up
Mars Attacks! was showing at the Cinema and came out 28th Feb 97 so I'd say you're spot on
Such a cool insight this one. Lovely jublee😎
Love this bloke what a legend
What a guy, my hero
Harry needs to do podcasts could listen to him all day.
Absolutely right you big, bad man!
Done plenty now chap have a search. Still value.
He has been on a handfull. Funny guy who aint full of shit. Dont ask him about the tote though😂
i remember harry findley years ago at snooker sheffield telling everybody to back a two year old of hannons later that day and it won
I remember harry findlay a few years ago telling everyone that new zealand would win the rugby world cup. 😃
Flash back of the 90s can’t beat it
Brainwashing has ruined the west.
Love it
Thanks for this ive been looking for it for years
I thoughly enjoyed it
Interesting. Love the way he places his bets...can't make head nor tail of it....
Proper smart geezer. Listen to him running through the bets in the first two minutes. I'm surprised to see some people describe this as a wind up, but then again, nothing surprises me any more, apart from something really surprising, like say if Mandela rose from the grave next Tuesday, or the Daily Mail wrote a good piece.
Putting everything he had, 40k, on Ajax to win that's a kind of madness, but he got lucky, and got away with it. Fortune favours the brave, and he's certainly that.
hes actually a sound person
He’s great but where is he now and is he still making his money from betting ?
@@RoyChadwick51I made 2 days pay last night on NFL football.
Absolute quality mate
Your the best x x x x x x x
Should make a film about harry would be a blockbuster with Ray winston playing harry
Helen Loizou From what I’ve heard Harry say about Ray Winston, I’d say it’s pretty unlikely! ;)
@@stephenfoz1307what did he say
@@samitysam2904 That’s a memory test after six years. He was talking about the adverts Winston did for 365 promoting bad value stuff
There’s not many people I want to meet as I’m a miserable bastard but I’d love to meet Harry, some fella
How have I only just found this gem! Love to know what watch he has on
The Devilfish and Terry Ramsden docs from the same series are good too, I've uploaded them both. Not as good as this one, but still a nice watch if you have 20 mins spare (p.s. I've not a clue about watches!)
Yes i’ve since watched the other two docs also! They’re both great...Love the humour of devilfish!
Thanks for uploading!
@@stuartguyatt114 His autobiography "life and times of a poker legend" is a funny book. It was online for free not so long ago but I can't find it now. Have you read it? If not let me know and I'll try and find the site I found it on.
Great video, thanks for uploading, really enjoyed it. He is a bit of a billy big bollocks though. Fair play to him
i take it your dave taylor from downley.your right mate people talk shit and dont know nothing really about the man.hes a top bloke and generous man.and never boring.
brilliant upload. Try and find the late Jonathan Rendalls 'The Gambler' up in the magic loft!
It’s on 4 OD
what a legend!
Arnold Layne why is that arnold??
‘Ride him out Jayyson’ pure goosebumps
Know his brother Gorden loverly bloke,didn’t know Harry but seems a good bloke.👍
Harry's positively federer when playing tennis
The greatest the games ever had
Harry"s a Don simple as that.
True Story
Went to Nottingham Dogs with Harry. Bet 2 dogs that both lost and lost £200. Said to him,
Could you lend me £20 Harry, Ive done my bollocks in.
How much you lost m8?
£200.
Here, theres £100 there. Your not going to get £200 back with £20
Seeing him in Oz at Christmas.
MrHaviton Know a very similar character to Harry. When you are wrapped around them it is the best laughs of your life. Problem is they never know when to walk away...
His missus seems like a lovely person. Punching there, Harry my son.
He’d agree.
Good girls are out there. Very very rare. But when ya find one. Do not let her go.
@@JonJonJonJonJonJonJonJon Says himself he'd be a million to one without her. Every pro gambler needs to meet a girl like Kay Duggan.
Harry The Legend but remember to gamble sensibly you could lose more than you win
Legend harry 💯👍👌💷💷💷💷
Haha, think being that way helps when you have that much of your bank on the line so often! The Devilfish and Terry Ramsden ones are also good, Devilfish in particular. There's a Lester Piggott docu that is very good, I haven't uploaded it as I think it's easy to find on the internet still - if but if you can't find it and want to watch it, let me know and I'll bung it up.
I'm guessing they followed him around for a month, as both horse races were in March 97 (greyhound websites don't go back far enough to check those.) So the doc would have been released in '98 I'd guess.
always remember phil taylor mentioning harry in his book saying that he stood to lose 18k if eric bristow beat taylor in the 1997 world championship semi final, and oh boy did he come close lol, great upload
Brilliant 👏
1996 december this was recorded going by the mars attacks poster in the cinama
marders 27th March 1997 when dust dancer ran.
The David Brent of gamblers
Great to see the crowd at Hove, Roger Brookes clerking for Mark Green, the bookies don’t stand a decent bet there anymore and the attendances are shocking, sad.
the thing that iv learnt most after gambling for 20 years is not to make on the spot bets that always seem to lose. its only when you dont make the stupid bet and you see that you would have lost that you realise that you just saved 500 or whatever. take your time
Yeah small action bets are crippling. Most important part of gambling is not discipline. It’s patience. …
Sadly I don’t have it and I’m backing all sorts playing up winnings on shite. Sitting out here tonight monkey on barca and it’s 1-1. I couldn’t name you 4 players that play for barca 😂 ffs. Days winnings gone
The accountant when he swears, you just know he bollocks his kid if they swear, proper hates it haha
He has that correct in he does not believe in rainy days just spend whilst the sun shines, a great philosophy, lets face facts no god being rich in the cemetery...
just a update still going strong 💪 each week iam up what a fucking life
Great upload.I remember he had alot of horses with Nicholls but got banned,back handers laying horses to lose.
Thats bollocks and was thrown out. BHA chasing a working class bloke out of the "King'Sport" Utter bollocks
Really enjoyed this, thanks for upload. Any idea what game they're playing over the restaurant bills, with the coins in their hand?
David Ollerhead spoof
i miss vhs lol
1996 top year for horse racing
I am a good friend off kelvin
Top bloke
The one who hands him money before the pub
Does he live in Brighton Kelvin?
He mentions lizard at the start, thats Tony Bloom (owner of Brighton Fc)
Dust dancer winning the 17.10 keythorpe maiden fillies stakes Thursday 27th March 1997 lol
When your rich the racing fraternity love you free hospitality etc etc when you hit lean times nobody is your friend,he is right sport betting is an incredibly mercenary lifestyle.
Fuckin legend
If you add fitness to your hard form work work, life is a lot more wealthier and easier, good luck Jim
Um are you saying my dads fat? he doesnt have enough time to exercise.
Don’t take any notice of the comments. Your dads a gentleman. The most engaging character in the world.
This is like something written by Ricky Gervais, especially the manager guy.
Sad to know Jason Moore ends up in prison . How is Glen Gill doing nowadays ?. What happen to Harry's accountant/nanny friend (what's his name) ?
Harry is legendary punter indeed ,
thanks for uploading this video KNOBHEAD10 😊
Glen is still knocking about with Harry, H mentions him every now and again in interviews as 'his horse man Glen'. Not a clue about the "accountant" - would be good to know if anyone looking in knows... :)
@@KNOBHEAD10 Harry's accountant/nanny friend is seen at the 09.47 min in the video clip. Anyway thanks for the updates, I'm looking forward to see Harry's new punting adventure in near future, cheers!
@@Jimmy888Tan Ah I meant where is the nanny now in 2022, maybe he fancied a more stable office job :) Harry's latest venture is Lifford Greyhound Track in Ireland. "Canaradzo Ltd" is the syndicate, I'm not sure how many are in it or how much Harry has as a Director - he's the public face and man who made it happen though for sure.
@@KNOBHEAD10Thanks for the update my friend, I wish Harry's the best of success. I sure missed the 1980's and 1990's indeed, cheers (",)!
could murder a ruby after watching him eat his.
watching this Moativates (cant spell it) me to gamble ... I love a good bet an hes right when you say you gotta be a good loser ... gambling is gambling you gonna have your ups an downs but you gotta deal with it an try an make your own luck
I love this documentary I’ve watched it so many times .. I know Harry seems to b slowly coming back with the odd interview & that but is he skint or doing ok ? , hopefully he’s doing well .. I’d love know how his punter friends in the documentary & his wife are doing as they are all fascinating characters that could tell a story or ten
Led a hell of a life for a fearless gambler. Isn't one of his mates in this banged up for murder ? The guy he's playing tennis with.
Think Harry scaled down a lot but still enjoying his sport and gambling.
Jon Jon
Really that’s mad .. he was good craic in the documentary & came across as a very positive guy which you would need to be to survive the highs & lows of professional gambling .. hard to believe he’s locked up for such a crime .. as for Harry thousands have failed & he somehow pulled it off then went so heavily in when he didn’t need to but thankfully is still around to tell the story & seems to b appearing in more interviews again lately
Jon Jon yeah Jason Moore stabbed a guy outside the Valentine pub in Gants Hill.
Reminds me of a English version of John candy.
Anytime. The game is Spoof wikipedia org/wiki/Spoof_(game)
look at 4:05 how mad the guy was that he had to let him bite his sub but money talks lol
+sleepyownz hhahah i missed that part tbh - top quality stuff
Mix and match..
@Harrykiat jananto of course you can win. Ever heard of Billy Walters? I make my living betting on tennis. So I know it can be done but it takes a level of focus and discipline. That very few possess. Not even one in a hundred have what it takes. But believe there are people out there doing it.
Billy Walters eh.. Whats the latest with him.. Sports gambling a sham for insider trading i hear
I feel like Women's tennis does not get as much attention and therefor the lines can be taken advantage of. Would you agree?
"this has got sugar in it" and then he eats half his sandwich. poor b@stard LOL
Where is harry now ?
I can’t believe his kamikaze style of betting would say he’s still alive ?
I hope he is ❤
Harry is alive and well! Until very recently he was heavily involved in Lifford Greyhound track in Ireland, I read on a forum that he gave that up though - not sure if that's correct.
@@KNOBHEAD10 glad to hear it
good stuff get on twitter an give us some tips I could do with some winners haha
what a legend lol
1997
Clear to see Jason Moore roping Harry in at Tennis, you can see that in the first rally....let Harry believe he has a chance and he’ll keep playing for money ....6 grand down and still playing for 1500 quid ....
really hows it goin for you lately....have you got a preferd sport to gamble on ?
Whats the name of the game they play to see who pays for dinner? What are the rules please?
Credit card roulette. You can either opt to pay for your own dinner or everyone puts their credit card in a hat (or whatever) and the loser pays for all of their dinners.
It’s called spoof. You put 0 to 3 coins in your hand and guess the total amount in all the hands.
how can anybody take the bets in start..
@Here's Johnny whoever was laying the bets was bloody good on that phone, a bookie was a bookie then i suppose.
What's that game called they play, that decides who pays for dinner?
Spoof
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoof_(game)
Quite funny reading some of the comments on here..Harry Findlay is a multi millionaire now, this doc is years old, he made most of his fortune betting on golf, rugby, dogs, liked the odds on, never a massive gambler on the horses just preferred to own them, Denman was his with Paul Barber....he may come across a bit geezer but he's got a bigger pair than most, the bitterness prob comes from wishing they could do what he does...not a bad way to make a living...
***** knob head...tell me how he lost more money than we won when he never did a proper days work in his life, never signed on dole and spent fortunes on lavish lifestyle all around the world(which i must make clear to YOU you cant gte back to lose)? basic maths dumbo..go back to school
still a bell knob head who simply does not understand simple maths...spending say £3,000,000of winnings, losing £2,000,000 of winnings and borrowing £1000(thats all it takes for bankruptcy) makes him win more than loses..Fooooooool.. give me dates of there "several bankruptcies" as according to my research you are quite clearly wrongly guessing and more importantly clearly sooooooooooo jeleous.. come on foool give me dates of bankruptcy to prove me wrong(easy to find out online).....
for you to be correct he has to owe more in bankruptcy than he has won in gambling..we all know he was won millions(from countless winnings of JUST from SCOOP 6) now show me these bankrupcys and total owed.
ok i will save you the time..according to bankruptcy registrations he was made bankrupt ONCE and this was annulled when debt paid OFF IN FULL IN 2013.
pure jealousy controlling your need to make up "several bankruptcies" and GUESS he has lost more money than he has won.
Harry findley. Legend.. £600. At. 4/1.. When you give the. Hi. HI Hi... Best. Felling in the world.
Big appetite that Harry has for food as well as gambling. A lot of footage of him stuffing his face .
what type of bets is he doing on the dogs at the start of the programme ??
+timothy matthews match bets with against a mate.
Davey 14 ok kool .... it just seemed like he was cheering for every dog in the race I didn't get it
What a false existence to see everything in life as a ‘price’ and a form line. Always eyeing up the next race like some mug in the bookies’.
I thot scarface was on at the start 🤦🏼♂️
Good luck to him, hope he still smashes the Bookies. I don't think you can make money on the horses though, too many variables and the sport is too bent.
enjoy this doc very much so ty... i cant seem to watch him eat though or anyone who smacks their lips for that matter. It drives me crazy n got been kicked outta restaurants cause could not stand the nasty disrespectful idiot smacking his lips constantly while chewing. It is rude as hell. close yur mouth instead smacking your lips constantly while trying to chew. common sense so dont matter if they have been taught or not everyone knows "chew with your mouth closed"
Brad Rosser No worries Brad - and 100% agree on the chewing :D
+Brad Rosser Fairy

Very likeable character pity he went broke.
+EWEN HUTCHISON Yeah broke as f*ck.
Gambling large amounts of money is a mugs game - the bookies always win.
Only way you make money is by fixing but of course that's illegal - the ELITE get away with it time & time again.
