I remember going to the races when he was mentoring Tom and would just sit on his chair and watch. Even back then-when the betting ring still had some life-it was nothing compared to his day.

Interesting viewing even for a younger bloke like myself, can’t say I’ve got any memories of punting with the old paper notes but it brought back some memories
Betting in tens of thousands these days is a decent go let alone back in those days especially in a greyhound race! just go to show how big they really were at the time

We bet like piss ants compared to how they used to bet. I wonder if they ever thought “we will ban this punter because he is too good”..... how times have changed.
That article is unbeleivable. Could be an awesome new underbelly series? They'd never let it air
Well most of those huge bets were on credit or 'on the nod' and if the allegations in that Four Corners story and newspaper article are true, why would the bookies refuse the bets when they KNEW certain horses/ dogs had been nobbled?
There's a link to the article posted above by @JimmyPop and you'll note the timing of its release @JayJay becos you can't defame a deceased person
