What an utter gem to stumble on .. could watch things like this all day ..literally was the good old days

This is just the best. They don't make documentaries like this any more. Wonderful stuff!

'Can't beat the expenses'... If you couldn't then god knows what happens now..

Shit happens.

Barry's Bismarck channel 4 racing 🐎 what a bunch of bent Ball suckers 👍

The opening clip is I believe after Barry had just lost "£10k" on the last race of the day.

As honest and straight talking as they come not to everyone's taste...but so what Barry didn't have to prove anything to anyone he did thing's his way just as everyone else does it their way. I absolutely loved seeing this again and seeing Barry's wife and home life his good lady also spoke from the heart and it's clear the love and trust they have for each other . I really felt for him when he got hit before the off just as the last race was about to start some charmer just happened to want a 'Monkey' on @ 20's which Barry obliged. ....🫣 I know this is from many year's ago and if my memory is right didn't one of Barry's lifelong mates another rails 'layer' leave him some very lucrative pitches after he died,? I would appreciate if anyone could confirm this as obviously I don't want to get it wrong. 🐎🐎🙏❤️

You have to move with the times. Betting changed. There was a monumental change in the past 20 or so years, ever since the advent of exchanges. Though bookmakers still drive the exchanges, not vice versa. But it's corporate bookmakers, essentially number crunchers and traders, that routinely and probably automatically now with AI algorithms, ban or restrict (gub) to pennies any successful or prudent accounts. Old school on course bookies are prehistoric.

Barry is correct about Royal Ascot its a total waste of time.

I remember betting on most of those horse's of the day, except they lost when I was on them.

45:08: Bet £500 at 20/1 =£10,000 - £500 = £9,500 profit the equivalent of £17,647.60 in today's money.

Is there any video explaining what a Bookie does, how do they determined the odds from a horse racing and any other sport event?

Battle of wits.

He is mr tricky.

Why would you go racing and not go to the on course bookies, you might as well sit at home

Crying poverty is usually a sign of wealth. Most bookies are always crying poverty.

Just watched this docu now (must've missed it when shown at the time) but really enjoyed it, I agree with most of the comments here regarding the exchanges & now not having to leave the house to get bets on! It's a shame as a day at the races used to be seen as a proper day out & the whole social aspect. Not everything's positive about the computer age!

Betting is really shit now bookies just rip people off and all the id checks now it’s had it now betting is shit

All that doe and has a cracked window screen 😂 typical tight ass gambler like myself 🤦‍♂️

Mardy bastard

Rough as arseholes that pair at the Derby

pretty sure the terry Tibbs charter is based of this dude lol the 90s was so good

“Over two pound a pint” 😂😂😂

What a legend....

Christ wouldn’t want to be in that motor on the way home 😅

Loved winning but hated being turned over by punters loved to have a bit of banter with Barry over Romford dogs but it’s hard not to like a rogue like this guy !

Interesting bookie - want to explore more of his world. Btw, cut the latter bit - irrelevant.

Greeting the late Barney Curley.

They can’t lose long term playing to 115+ overrounds if they can play the game .

😢😢😢😢 I was heartbroken for Dennis,s young Son, he took a monkey 500 and dennis son dint check the price move .. even if he missed it giong into 16/1 from 20s he still would of lost big .. loved this thou and like dennis now 😊❤️

oh poor barry

What an absolute goose, way he drives, could kill someone, fuckwit. i laughed when he lost lol barry dennis the goose

Good watch and insight but good god Barry Dennis is insufferable

Diamond Geezer proper gentleman salt of the earth they don’t make them that Barry anymore.

This is the funniest documentary ever. "Get your money out and start fucking gambling!"

My dad would have loved this. Bless him.

Bazza crying when he loses.. take it on the chins big man..

Brilliant video. It shows how hard Barry worked to keep ahead of the game. Even when he gets home, his mind is onto what’s happening tomorrow. It’s got to be so stressful. Fair play to his wife & family too, it’s great when the money is coming in, but how do they switch off.

Plan B won for woman who was shouting

Could never win in those days. Even when I go racing very rarely use bookmaker . Well under betfair .

Was down in Brighton for a holiday back in August 2014, i decided to have a ride to Lingfield Park i had 3 winners all with Barry Dennis lol! he was'nt a happy chappy i had £20 eway on Ohio at 8/1, £20 eway on Fiducia at 14/1 and £40 win on Secret Succes at 3/1 in the lucky last! what a day that was

Just another con man. Living off the backs of mugs betting with him. When will people learn. Betting with the bookies is mugs game.

Who is the arsehole going on about Dunkirk and him being a bookie

Always be a slave to the queens/kings head punters and bookies.

Bookies never lose because they only take bets from mugs 😂😂😂😂😂

"Soaked to the skin...done a thousand pound" ...love it!

Noo he’s not got 2 bob 😂

wana be a facking bookmaker now!!'how much did ya win barry how much did ya win !! .....🤣🤣🤣
