Strikes me as a real decent bloke. This wasn't long before I more or less gave the punt away because my work started to take up too much time, which didn't leave me enough time to do the form sufficient enough to give me much of a chance. I figured that it was hard enough to win putting in the time and effort, so I'd only be donating money to the bookies if I continued on. The number of bookies had well and truly dwindled by that time, so there really wasn't much competition to offer attractive prices anymore, not in Newcastle anyway.
It's crazy, I was born in 1997 when this came out - But I grew up and had my first job as a bagman with one of the rails bookies, and I recognise a lot of these blokes. They're still around.
Terry Page said in the media in 1977, to the effect, ' put it this way, I haven't been winning '. Then in 1988 he comes back with, " I'll back South Sydney to make the semis, if anyone wants to take me on. ". And he'd have got done on that. I had a real mind to actually have some of that, but my personal finances were not going ideally enough, so I let it go. This is all public media stuff which I'm citing.
Nothing like the good old days, especially New Years Day at Wallabadah, up near Quirindi and Tamworth. Massive crowds in the old days. The internet changed the gambling game forever.
I wish I could punt where I am. I'm stuck with the pari-mutuals which means I don't know the final odds of the horse until right after the race starts. If a bookie could give me odds, and stick with them, then there would be a potential to make money playing the horses.
The good old day's of betting, now on line betting has changed how we bet.You will find now that when you go into a bookies, there usually empty except for the odd punter player the machines.In time horse racing will go the same way as speedway, down the plug hole.
@@Vile_Entity_3545 Are you joking, no punters no horse racing.No punters no levy means no prize money, means racing for rosette's, no punters means race courses would close.Oh wait a minute you played an April fool joke a day later.You got me there Bro, i thought you where being serious.
@@tommyhughes2264 Racing was happening well before the public as a whole could gamble. It started in the 1600’s so it will always be a thing whether the racecourses have 10 punters or thousands. The money will never stop online so tell me how are they going to race if hardly anybody goes racing anymore? I’ll tell you how. They will still race around the racecourses because they won’t be racing around the M25.
Sean is a very successful and rich punter who bets a lot of money on a number of different horses in each race he has a go at. His turnover is huge. He also sold his online bookmaking business to Sportsbet.
The one thing racing around world has in common is outsiders and unfancied horses ,win most of the races worst and craziest of all is , American racing all small fields but still more than there fair share of outsiders ,to feed the bookies because without them there isn't racing .and without trainers bent ways there wouldn't be bookies .
God said come forth but he got blocked for a run and came fifth..
We used to have a similar saying, Go fourth and multiply, but he came fifth and lost his beer money
"God wants me to gamble"
The good old days
Really interesting look back at the days when racecourse bookies needed to have an opinion about horse was going to win
Can you expand on what that means?
@@terencenordberg7482 They don't need to have an opinion these days because they just follow Betfair and only let you on to win $2k max.
the internet killed the tracks. todays punters are online playing poker and betting on football

Funny how he got an answer from God about wether he should gamble or not. I never got one on more pressing matters.
Good stuff, wish we had more like this video.
Might and power was the sort of horse who would die before letting another horse get past him
Great call. There's no way in my opinion that Winx has her way against him.
Shocking decision the "winner " actually kept a straight line from the start
Thats the game

@@dennispicone6801As a young person, I’m always a bit upset I couldn’t have experienced those days. Especially dog tracks, just dead empty.
@@AdamSabir1 it's not just those. The gambling days of yesterday are forever finished. The culture forward now and has been digital for quite awhile.
Every man on Earth was on Might and Power, probably even Doemius owners😂. Even Moses was on him
Please add more videos like this please please please 🙏 💜
Good to see this side of the game
Not as easy as it looks they all work a different way God won't help good luck is what you want

Who's the silverfox with the horn-rims, and is he still punting?
There's not many bookies take losing with a smile on their face
The good old days at the races,,.

No it won’t. It is the sport of kings and does not need punters to keep the sport going. There might be less races but it would never die.

Haha, you only have to look in the carpark to see what they drive to know that the ones that survive do so in absolute comfort.
How did he make his money prior to becoming a bookie?
