Very good interviews Simon
I knew him as an 18 year old,or so,in the Cardiff exchange shop that his dad,John, set up in the social club next to the bookies, that he speaks about in the interviews His dad and him used to tell me that laying back your stake for a free bet,or even to lock in a profit,was generally bad value in that you were laying over the odds to do so,and letting the bet run was more profitable in the long run I was there for a few months until the Bristol shop opened, about a mile from home at the time,but the 2 sons and John Lovell were great people |

Just to add to the above...
There was a fella in the exchange shop who made a living out of backing almost "over the line" winners at lowish prices, but basically accommodating people who had backed higher and wanted to trade out,even though the "real price" should be even lower. Not unique now, I know, but was eye opening to me at the time |

Comes across as a good guy. Anyone know the punter who wasnt the form student...not surprised there was the chance for massive success but somewhat surprised that the tactic is still lucrative now.

Scooby, I was also surprised that the tactic is still lucrative
Twenty years ago in his dad's exchange shop, David had a couple of his 18 year old mates occupying seats...they knew nothing about horse racing but were very quick on the keyboards...they were taught just to back the fastest finishing horse...I kid you not, the system was that simple as I recall, no disrespect to them...they were making plenty |
