Here's the question for 2026/27. All the attributes - mathematical talent, application, drive - and the characteristics - desire to be wealthy, fondness for the high life - that have powered PV to his lofty perch in betting on horse-racing would also have served him well in a financial career in hedge funds or private equity. If he'd just completed his math degree at Trinity College then he'd have been a mortal lock for that route. So was it +EV or -EV when he first pushed open the betting shop door in his teens?
Maybe but he also wouldn’t have had any of the freedom that he has had. He has done very well out of what he has done and maybe wouldn’t have been so dominant in that field. It’s a cliche but it is horses for courses
😂 All of that means absolutely fark all, if You can’t read a race or pick the right horses. Mr. Veitchs ideal model of winning Is to punt one of his horses, two stone well in. He don’t bet on Uk racing now, as no one Can win. He’s off to Hong Kong I hear, to try Punt there. They won’t be your horses Patrick?? Will have no inside info there, eh?? End up like Rory 😂
Well look at it this way, do you think it’s Acceptable for the books, to be able To drain some people’s life’s savings, financially ruin their lives, knowing they have an addiction problem?? And on the other, refuse to accept a penny, from 100s of 1000s of punters who they think may win a few quid???

A balanced solution would be important. Having maximum player protection and also maximum freedom to access the market.
There’s a load of virtue signalling tosh talked about “safer gambling “
