Kevin Blake the latest to leave Betfair..no more columns,no more pods

Some personal news. After many happy years, I’ve decided not to renew my ambassador role with Betfair. I’m very grateful to all the team there, both past and present, as they were a pleasure to work with. After over 12 years of weekly podcasts, it’s time for a little break!

Irish Whisper from the forum.

Girl tipster I've never heard of on this week's podcast....

There is certainly no shortage of wanabee Tipsters everywhere

.

He should run a private tipping line i have been punting for over 40 Years and he is the best tipster i have ever come across and not just by a wee bit.

yes he's decent Kevin, possibly gone even further up in the world for this current gig

Sounds like he's had a very good Summer of punting, landing plenty of hefty bets and no longer needs the chicken feed Betfair were paying him.

Certainly wouldn't have been there for the money, he's Joseph O'Brien's race planner, small time breeder, works for ITV and ATR.

Barber will be the next one out the door IMO.

Kev needs a haircut?

stewarty b is looking for a job.

Unfortunately,selections have to be pre race,TT

I often spoke to him at meetings a really nice guy , also very good overall at what he turns his hand to. He's light years ahead of most tipsters ..

Tipping Tom is on the rise …..

Tossing Tom?

Barber probably trapped in 'cos of his Timeform job...with all the talk of trimming and cutting back at Flutter you'd have to wonder can Timeform survive as it is

Very much agree acey.

nothing wrong with blake. hes no mug and he speaks his mind except when he was gagged by notfair, which was disappointing. all this about a 'break' is cobblers, if basil borr was still there he wouldnt be doing this, as everyone knows

unless hes agreed an nda informally it would be good if he could tip us off as the prognosis is gloomy for loons like me who do nothing else and are incapable

its clear notfair are moving away, just hope we get plenty of notice. the tax thing will be an excuse. the only and probably forlorn hope is 'consolidation', ie far fewer markets and hope that will concentrate liquidity, if you can still call it that
