Neil Channing

For interest I just watched his video for today with sound off and automated subtitles on (watching TV at same time). I found it funny.

Not long ago Poker was promoting Boris Becker

on the subject of Becker, how can you be released after only serving 8 months of a 30 month sentence?? 8 months done, time to go off and spend the millions he's stashed away no doubt.

Won @ 6/5

swifty...if he stays in this country he will have a tag

Really nice and very honourable guy, with a very sharp, very astute betting mind.
Widely and deservedly respected by all the upper echelon gamblers.

worked for a few years in the industry before buying circa 50 pitches at auction and becoming an on-course bookie (pre Betfair days), so he definitely know his horse betting.

One of the bigger players in Betfairs early years, running (very profitable) books on markets from the Oscars to the Derby.

As for the time he won E800,000 and the Irish Open.... Paddy Power ran a book on the event and had him at 30/1. Slightly incensed by being priced so high in the field, and possibly fuelled by red wine he perceived value at 30/1 so he cornered the MD of paddy power at the start of the event (who he was/is a good acquaintance of) and bet £10k on himself... and picked up £300k as well E800k 1st prize.

He has an adventurous approach to life and as a consequence is very amiable company.



P.S.
Neil, if you ever get around to reading this...
Back around 2013/14, I believe The Magician and Dor made casual enquiries to you about myself. I don't know what you said but the light you portrayed me in certainly seemed to impress them, and elevate their belief in my poker skills to probably way beyond actuality.
Thanks for that.

Long time no see, hope you are well.

what a ridiculous selction.

seems like a level headed and knowledgeable bloke from what ive seen of him om luck on sunday.

think ill follow the thread at a fiver a point

I like him but he's tipped a dart player he's barely heard of to beat a player he's never heard of to win 3-0.

far better than that narcissistic sociopath georgeb

That was the first game in five today where the favourite didn’t win 3-0. A poor loss for R-J-R.

too busy playing to the crowd sk

aha....kembo and smirny...is this comedy hour?

He’s got form for that, Smirnoff.

It must be Happy Hour, Chav!

hey chavs if ya fancy gannin to Chelters giza shout - and you can meet up wiv me and hal in our dresses - any day ya like as we are doing all 4 days- ala Little Britain in our dresses

Gona do Warwick and Srtatford the two days b4 as well

dont do big meetings mate,warwick and stratford a long way but when exactly

for clarity chelts no,but what dates the others

12th and 13th - we are stopping in Worcester but hal is only travelling down on 14th for Chelters

Both cracking courses by the way - Strat/War

was gona do Wolves day b4 but course tekkin piss re ticket price and similar re Monmore dogs on the Sat night

dunno,ill see...gone quite high up the ladder workwise now

send me a pm if ya up4it

im quite normal away from here - honest

wonder why he's playing horses at SP

in previous years the Star boys were front running his selections could be why

would think he says SP because there isn't any dispute about what the price is and whether it was available or not. Eg Hugh Taylor's selections are at prices almost no one gets.

Day 6
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sFUtJs6sH8

Darts. Under 7.5 180s in Adam Gorlas vs Richie Burnett
Seven points at 10/11

Cheers Ramruma…saved me looking

Under 7.5….just takes them to hit top form during the match…seems confident punting 7 points..

Where’s our very own Richie Burnett these days?

Looking great so far…no 180s after 2 sets

And like buses…..

Neil knows his arrers

Was never in doubt. You don’t really want to see games go all the way though when you’ve played unders on the 180s.

But they were pony

They sure were.

Day 7 (Sunday)

Neil discusses the World Cup and his bet is more goals in the second half at 21/20 for five points.

Neil on Luck on Sunday now.

Well said, Neil

Because I've watched the first seven days, Youtube's algorithm offered me this 2019-ish interview of Channing by Alastair Down, best characterised as two old geezers reminiscing about past Cheltenham winners, if you like that sort of thing.

Day 8 (Monday)

Having to take SP for a Hugh Taylor tip

Back to racing…

On the drift a 2 now….not a fan of the yard…can’t remember the last time I punted one…apart from place laying the hotpot at York..

Fair play.

Let's have it right!

Ok….

Just seen his views on the gambling commission on luck on Sunday ,he was absolutely spot on ,I wished he could on for longer.

Yes, he spoke very well Jimnast, shame they only gave him 2 Minutes, I would of took even money he

could have gone on for 2 hrs.!

Day 10, Wednesday.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHDnOSqGjM8

2.53 Taunton. Norley. 4 points at 7/2.

Finishing with a flourish

Just seen his views on the gambling commission on luck on Sunday ,he was absolutely spot on ,I wished he could on for longer.

Hi Jimnast, Channing has done quite a few longer analyses on gambling commission and affordability on Luck show over past year, if you can find them!

Going to Kelso next week and going to pub this Friday to plan DRF trip.  Hope all well with you.

Norley. 4 points at 7/2.

4.5 but 6.0 on here...

Tough race to pick a winner,Nicholls,Beau Balko first time handicap,could be anything and Amelia Dance has had two wins at Taunton and not a bad animal.

I like his reasoning on this one though, in relation to stable details and fact this is running off a lower mark than it should really be.

Hope you copped on Amelias there tangle...

Just as I thought AD,cheers stu 11/1

I too backed the winner, thanks to baby Amelia who was born some three hours earlier.

How can he be taken seriously when he advertises 4.5 when 6 is available here?

If he can't advertise the best price he should say nothing.

Bets like a mug!

He seems to be factoring in trainer form in a big way, so it was a bit of a surprise that he went for a Richard Rowe horse yesterday, given the trainer had gone over 240 days without a winner, but unlucky, he was was just a day premature as RR had one go in today

Day 11, Thursday.
Darts.
Six points Cameron Menzies to beat Vincent van der Voort 11/10

Only looked at him for the first time this morning....anyone think he looks a bit like a scruffy David Walliams?  I may need Specsavers though..

Neil has always come across as a likeable character. But his tipping service is very very expensive. You would have to bet 50k a year to cover the cost before making a profit. No thanks

Just googled him and came across his website Betting Emporium.
There's a template letter he's done to send to your m.p. about the gambling review.

.
https://www.bettingemporium.com/pages/view/gambling-review

Tipping service? 

He's sounding more like a failed pro gambler every day

Darts game 2130

Menzies was tipped up in the RP as well, but all the late money seemingly for van der Voort

he must have impressed the paddock watchers during the walk on

Does Channing throw his last darts tomorrow?

I'm gonna release a couple of flies up my wall at 2pm if he's interested, 10/11 each of 2.

Day 12, Thursday.
He does not look like David Walliams imo.
Darts again, and only one point to avoid a big loss over the 12 days.
Rob Cross to beat Scott Williams 3-0, 1 point at 11/4

Oops, Friday not Thursday.

Oops, Friday not Thursday.

It's that time of year Ramruma

Oh dear, Neil tells us he's been losing sleep over this

But fair play to him, cuz as he says, when he was winning he could have played it safe and just done one point bets, but instead he staked what he thought the bet was worth.

Guesser!

He used to do well punting bad EW races round North West London about 15 years ago and nobody had a clue who he was until he walked into my shop. Late Night Poker wasn't a staple for the majority of betting shop staff!
