Britain at the bookies tonight

not seen him post lately

Its not reg something is it?

features Doncaster layer Keith Johnson.
Think he posts on here, anyone know his username?

Yes.
(And he isn't from Doncaster.)

Steve Palmer 'renowned professional punter' is also appearing

Singing this will not be beaten

Oi chelsea girl, shouldn't you be out street walking?

Only at night TNM.

Where were you last night, when I needed you?

Walking round Goodwood racecourse.

Does Steve Palmer's betting tales still appear in the Racing Post at all ?  Not bought one in years because of all the price hikes but that was a comical read on Sundays.

Walking round Goodwood racecourse.

How was business?

good

last thing Steve needs tonight is people to feel sorry for him

keith Johnson will be avidly reading everything posted during and after tonights show.
so please keep all comments constructive
remember no bet every refused , halved or quartered . always accepted in full and paid in cash with a smile

Palmer must be a fearless pro punter, betting with a salary firmly behind him, imo...

what salary is he on?

Married with a kid now so he will have to tone it all down or she will no doubt fook off elsewhere

xmoneyx - Racing Post, surely..??

wage

I often wondered what his salary must be as he bets in pretty large quantities at times.

I know tonight he says he lost £35k in a fortnight (i think that is correct?).......he has been very close to some massive wins aswell, Nearly hit a double in the golf once but the player layed up on a reachable par 5 and didn't make birdie.....Christ, i would have been suicidal.....and he very rarely lays off.

I can see why the Racing Post/bookmaking industry axis want to promote him as a 'professional punter', as he very clearly has a serious gambling problem...

when it comes to betting,very cose isn't good enough

close

xmoneyx, aware you play at the golf, you will probably remember it.


Tim Clark wasn't it? And i think he stood to won £110k approx?

win*

I remember forum talk

did he just need to par to win tourney

tim clark won two pga events

2010 playerers by one stroke

18th is a par 4


2014 Canadian open by one stroke 2014

18th par 5

must be that

Well he ended up losing it by laying up if i remember rightly so it wasn't one of his wins....i think it was 2-3 years ago?

I'll have a look...

Agree millhouse. It looks like I am very much in the minority but plenty of people seem to find it funny  winning and losing thousands on a whole range of different sports that he can't possibly have  more than tiny knowledge of each one.

in 2014 18th Canadian open par 4?

Might have been this one, then again i could be miles out as it was 2011

13 - 16th
Sony Open in Hawaii
Honolulu, Hawaii
Leaderboard Finished

2. Clark (-14)
3. Marino (-14)

Back to the opening post,Keith lives nowhere near Doncaster although he's still in Yorkshire.He  lives in one of the most beautiful parts of the country which  in a way is a clue as to his user name.As said earlier I also haven't seen him on here for ages.

Breeding
No it isn't Reg something or other.

Does anyone actually believe the Palmer stuff? Sunday is the only day I get the post but never read his column as I read the first paragraph once and considered it unbelievable drivel.

sunday is the hail mary bet

I am the same as you flanders, just on Sundays for me to have a read up with a glass of vino....i used to love his article at the back but it all seems a little poor nowadays.

Keith Johnson lives in Wendslydale in the Yorkshire dales and believe he posts under that name [Wendslydale]

Not looking good for KJ according to this..

SP

Of his pregnant wife Nicola, he says: “Her betting knowledge is so poor she doesn’t understand how much I have won or lost.” However, Nicola, one of life’s stoics, is seemingly quite well aware that they once had a hundred grand for a deposit on a house but then they only had 25.

He will have to amend his ways if she is to stay imo.....nice bloke but i don't think he will come across well tonight

palmer is a good golf tipster and should stick to that and pack in the crazy gambling...........about 6 mths ago he got a double up in the golf euro/us tour............that is incredible

double but which ones ,5 picks euro/pga

You only go as far as Fontwell 

You only go as far as Fontwell
Thought she went 'all the way'.

Don't know which is the bigger laugh , c0rals excepting a £5000 bet or Steve Palmer

i cant get anything on online just been closed down for all sportsbets but they said i can still bet on casino bingo games i told them to **** off

in shops i cannot bet on anything area manager decision i was told i asked for it in writing

biggest load ofbollocks iveever seen

Is that a new BBC Sitcom ...

'Inside Bruce's Office'

What a pair of ...

wtf are they going on about a punter who goes racing and bets £1 on a race?

what is the point of this?

it reminds me of when I firstseen the office

then steve palmer, (who couldn't tip sh1t out of a bucket on the golf) shown to be just a compulsive gambler rather than a so called expert.

God I dislike these Coral traders

****s mate

Steve just a compulsive guesser.More interested in the private layer and what he does with the information.

Gawd Millie looked as rough as a bears rse to be an editor of the  Racing Post jeez.

Yeah to promote Steve Palmer as a columnist of the great rag would have liked an insight into his  m.o. eg  golfing database, lucky pin, anything to give us a clue how he works on a day to day basis or did i miss that ??

He couldn't find his PIN ...

So they could not show it.

Please don't confuse those Coral James Blunts with proper odds compilers.   That lot just sit with an Exchange screen in front of them, and that's fact, they not really sure which end of a horse does the eating etc.

Read his book Born To Punt. That will give you an insight into his m.o.
I'll give you a clue. There isn't one ! The guy is a mug.

.... as is the fella who gave the bookie back £40 for a drink.....  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.   

owner of lulu the zulu

must be loaded,doesn't need to bet

I agree. Done purely for the TV cameras. Pathetic !!

Whats the point in asking for 18-1 then giving £40 back effectively getting 16-1

To get on the telly?

That Steve guy has no self control

WOT A KNOBED

Sure there was a older Steve Palmer guest/pundit on the racing channels 15 years ago , he was just another bluffer on the gravy train ......

Can't understand the negativity towards Stevie P...ok he gets paid for it but disclosing every punting session to RP readers is praiseworthy surely? Yes he's a bit of a maverick in his gambling style but should get credit for his honesty...and has shown that he can adapt his stakes to his situation as in last night's episode, thought the programme but much better than last week's - good luck sir.

^^
Spokesman for Steve Palmers fan club reads out a statement on behalf of the club ....

He has the luxury to be paid to bet like a mug and write about it.

Always amazed that he rarely lays off, even when fortunes are on the line, suppose that's to secure the value of each punt but gives an insight to the all or nothing philosophy - probably better off this way in the long run but tough keeping turnover flowing when short of cash..

grey shark...Barry Faulkner maybe?

Hmmmnnn....not another of my favs Nevo!
