Recently he has been reporting decent bets he has placed which are hard to believe that any punter can get on with a high street bookmaker.
This week he got £250 EW on an 8/1 shot.
A cynic could be very suspicious about this pattern.
I know of no other tipster/presenter who talks about how much he/she has bet.
One view wrote 'Good to see bookmakers laying a decent bet and silencing those who say they are banned or heavily restricted'. Wonder what our two You Tube friends make of it.

He is solid guy and a good loyal friend.
I can assure you that he does get his sizeable bets on without using an exchange to do so.

As a friend, can you confirm that he gets "special" privileges from bookmakers as a RP employee, or is it because he is a really bad gambler, as his Pricewise Extra record shows ?

On my stats, he's 85th out of 89, with a ROI of -27.75% !
Report tilted April 28, 2014 3:21 PM BST
Not aware of any special privileges. He has never mentioned them.
I think they are a thing of the distant past.
I can't imagine Ralph Topping (Whill, CEO) agreeing to privileges.

In that case, I'll put it down to the fact that he's pretty clueless, or a liar, or both.

the bookies arent so stupid as to tell the journos that they are getting 'special privileges'..they just let them have what they want so they carry on in blissful ignorance of the true state of affairs (ie everyone else gets knocked back for buttons)...geez, smell the coffee already

Reminds me of a little story from Doped , Bookmaker says to his mate , give them 3 yrs , They'll either go broke , or mend their ways , or they are backing winners and are therefore no good to you .Which one would you say Richard is....

You obviously never saw the Panorama programme in the 90's about Victor Chandler "no lose" accounts, then.

Read this, Duncan.

Especially the bit that says.... "Another not generally known issue is the convention that certain 'insider' racing journalists, expect and get preferential odds on certain ante-post events in exchange for positive publicity for the major bookmakers which provide these opportunities."

I don't believe for a second that it's only confined to ante-post events.

Writes like a 12yr child.Tips loser after loser then claims to have a winning week, majority of  gamblers are realists and sceptics. We don't believe you Richard.

Mr Birch is proving the old adage that a 12-hour clock is correct twice in a 24 hour period, by having winning naps yesterday and today !

Have they brought back Andrew Barr, and forgot to change the name ?
