loved betfair but uk government over regulated and now its hard to even fund the account
Thank you. It was fascinating.
Does Andrew use the Exchange? What does he think of the other exchanges?
Seems like a right dour arrogant r sole, price a race up🙄couldn’t read a race, to save
His life
Hard to believe this man has been the ruination of horse racing.
You could do with increasing the audio track on your videos, your recent videos have been on the quiet side.
Pretty soulless room.
The two years he looked after his brother sums him up for me well done sir.
Interesting chap for sure, look forward to seeing the rest of these. That first answer though, certainly was a very genuine legitimate product that added to the landscape… and then premium charge and the sportsbook came along. I suspect he isn't quite so proud of that bit, still, everyone has their price and I can't fault him for cashing out.
I remember him being interviewed on Steve Wright in the Afternoon on Radio 2 when first launched ! Imagine a bookie being promoted like that on radio these days. That's how innovative if was back then.
First question lol. No Ben Keith agenda here!
Seems like a great guy. Real shame he decided football club ownership wasn't for him. Swindon Town were heading back to the Premier League with him at the helm.
He can't be happy with how BF has changed. It's a shambles since they sold to PP.
Really looking forward to the rest of this.
Thanks for posting
what a FANTASTIC bloke!
