I didn't think on course bookies would take £1 or £2 bets? (From flat cap man and his bird)
Most will.
Apparently...
Oh and this!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING GIVING THE SCUM £40 TIP WTF
Haggled the price up and then donates it back.
Get flat cap man on Tips for Tikay. He'll fit right in with his staking plan. Fair play to him, though. His bankroll management is far better than the "pro with a day job".
Enjoyed this show. Will catch up on the first episode.
Enjoyed it too. £2 guy can GTFO though. Chancer pretending he is a pro and producers fell for it.

Was MVG ever 4/1 for the worlds? This Steve guy is deluded.
Must have backed him on betfair, as he said the return was £5,100 for a grand. Must have been a while before December though.

Andy was a lovely bloke and spoke a lot of sense for a small staking casual punter
Steve palmer is exactly as he writes came across well
The coral horse trader who backs horses named after his kid was the highlight for me

The flat cap man effectively went through the card finding 2 x 20/1 shots in the process and walked home with £40 profit. I'd rather not bet!

On course bookies are definitely not scum on the whole.
Just trying to make a living, don't turn down a bet. The second oldest profession.

Good watch but ultimately an utter pile of horseshit.
The Coral loltraders stuff was hilarious. "What price we going Elm Park? 7/4? I'm happy to go 2/1."
Whole scene obv staged. In reality James Knight, their main man, who's supposedly shrewd, would be sitting in front of a screen looking at oddschecker and betfair, and going the same price as everyone else.
"We good to take £5000 at 2-1?"
"Hold on, let me see if he's 3.05 or bigger on the machine. Nope, he's 2.98, tell him he can have £50."
I couldn't remember the result of the Code Red race offhand, as it was last autumn, but had the feeling 'Code' would be winning, probably at the main expense of the 'booooo' favourite Portamento. So tilting.
Flatcap man was probably the shrewdest cookie on display.

Yeah I wouldn't turn down a bet either if I could have it arbed on betfair 13 seconds later.

Steve Palmer whilst entertaining seemed to have a lot tendencies you would associate with an average Joe punter ,betting random dogs and seemingly adopting little process or methodology with his selections . Based on what we saw in the programme I can understand his wife's concerns about him losing his bank roll.

Divorce within 5 years is massive odds on I'm afraid.

Enjoyed the bit when Andy thought he had spotted an edge with the two Middleham runners, blissfully unaware of how many different syndicates run in their colours, and it paid off.

Yep his system!
Looked like he was having more fun than anyone on the show

Agree with this, thought it was very positive tonight.
