Gary Woodgate has been at the sharp end of Star Sports since jumping ship from an established career with Ladbrokes. In that time he has helped the firm to a meteoric rise from its humble beginnings taking credit bets on the telephone of a residential flat to one of UK's largest independent firms renowned for taking huge bets. In this four part interview he tells his story.
In Part 1, Gary talks about not exactly being 'off' at school, turning to the betting industry, working for Ladbrokes for 15 until discovering the identity of the man behind sticking on teams backing hot information plaguing his shop and a boozy meeting that changed his life.
