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 gt the feeling tht profitable bettors on bf put up with premium charge, as thy knw thy dnt have to pay taxes on profits and if there looking 4 a similar money changing gig thy will have to play in a even bigger pond and face th likes of bridge water and goldman....its all relative end of the day
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.
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.
What a success - revolutionized the industry.
Really looking forward to the rest of this.
Thank you. It was fascinating.
The two years he looked after his brother sums him up for me well done sir.
loved betfair but uk government over regulated and now its hard to even fund the account

He can't be happy with how BF has changed. It's a shambles since they sold to PP.
PP would like exchanges to die a death
its got no customer service anymore in the old days you could email them and open a new market within an hour now its just basic
First question lol. No Ben Keith agenda here!
You could do with increasing the audio track on your videos, your recent videos have been on the quiet side.
