Professional Punter Johnny Dineen talks to Simon Nott about his career as a professional punter, from his early days clerking at weekends for bookmakers to betting on course and now purely punting for a living, in five parts.
In Part 3, Johnny remembers the moment he decided to turn in on-course bookmaking losing a fortune in money invested in pitches in the process, why he kept his Cheltenham pitch despite Kamikaze betting, how he was always more of a professional punter than he was a bookmaker and how being well-connected opened his eyes.
