17:31 ARRIVED IN COUNTRY STOCKHOLM SWEDEN 19/09/17? xmoneyx, that was Sunday evening. It would have got sent down to the local distribution yesterday, so I expect it will arrive in the morning. If the package is larger than a standard letter box (doubtful) postie will send me a collection slip. |

The HF book is now with me. Arrived in my town on Tuesday (too large for letterbox) and I received the collection slip the following day, but i've been really busy and didn't have opportunity to pick it up until a couple of hours ago. I haven't actually opened it yet. To reiterate a previous post, many thanks for the generous offer, even more so considering the cost to send it to Sweden. I guess it could have been worse though, it might have been Bert Cummings in Australia  I was so fortunate to pick the winner of your designated race, there were only 2 horses left and to be honest I wouldn't have picked either given other choices. After I have read it, I will donate the book to another poster on here in the same way you did. Regards Andrew |

Bit disappointed with it so far, don't think it's that well written. The prison stuff is a bit misjudged as Mottershead said yesterday (to be fair to him).

By:
have to agree fear, guite a few grammatical errors and apart from a couple of good chapters it seems to be all over the place
|

By:
Let's hope Nevison's 3rd volume proves more informative whenever that's published then.

What's Willoughby's book going to be about? Is it going to be a purely how to win at racing type thing? I'm interested in his take on the market and how odds are affected by what the public know and what they don't ie insider knowledge. I thought I read on here somewhere that he struggles to make it pay because of this.

Prison was part of his life, he is allowing the reader to see that he got by and continued to punt willy nilly, its his life, his addiction. Prison wasn't going to stop him having a punt. At Weddings or Funerals he'll still be on the machine and have flashscore alerting him,with his longish hair he can easily hide an earpiece. Wouldn't mind meeting Claude again, good snooker player and very
useful badminton player back in the day, used to give me 13 points and I couldn't get it done. I suppose his point is that everybody knew he'd been parked up in the garage so he revealed the how and why.Its part of him, his story isn't a fairytale although there are similarities of a Cinderella existence. |

Findlay lets rip with an amusing rant against cash-outs and the current betting industry which is too libellous to be repeated here, but he does make a salient point that it is “wrong that, as every winning bet pays Betfair a commission, small players should have to pay 5% while big players only pay 2%. It’s nearly impossible to win over a long period of time if you’re paying 5% rather than 2%. We need a new betting platform.”
Sport can be crooked and gambling is often ruinous. But Findlay now follows a quiet routine. We are interrupted just twice by calls from his best friend. “Glenn [Gill] is the best horse judge I’ve ever met. He tells me what to bet and how much. To have won over [i]£250,000 the last two years betting on small stakes is amazing.”[/i] So how is he getting his bets on? Is he winning on the exchange then? |
