Questo signore inglese, vive a Bath, dall'aspetto di un comune impiegato, è il più forte scommettitore del Pianeta. L'ho conosciuto due anni fa in occasione del master di Montecarlo e, se non me lo avessero presentato come proprietario di Denman, non gli "avrei dato una lira" come si dice.
Si chiama Harry Findlay e preferisce Tennis (Go on Feddy, my son," yells Findlay to a screen featuring Roger Federer, the player on whom our gambler won £300,000 at the US Open in 2005, having staked £400,000. "And I had another £100,000 on him when Agassi broke him to go 4-2 up in the third set of the final because the crowd over-stepped the mark. I could see what that did to Fed. It's the first time I've seen him angry. He just absolutely tore Agassi's head off after that." Federer won 6-3, 2-6, 7-6, 6-1 and Findlay won another round of his battle to stay alive and solvent.)
, Calcio e naturalmente Ippica.
"Harry Findlay is a professional gambler and owner of Desert Queen and Denman. Harry trades out of his home office in Bath where he watches sports continually - he's got 6 monitors and realtime Betfair feeds."
Ormai preferisce utilizzare solo Betfair:
"The computer screen attuned to Betfair prices is blinking merrily next to him. He prefers the exchanges to bookmakers any day.
"The bottom line is, bookmakers don't allow anyone to win. If you win they'll close your account. If you win big in cash, they won't take your bet. It's immoral, but there's no point in prolonging that argument and upsetting the bookmakers because they can't stand me anyway. I stopped betting on horses completely until the exchanges, where you bet punter against punter. It is physically impossible for anyone to make big money on the horses if they are not playing the exchanges. Anyone telling you they can is a liar. "
Credo di essere stato abbastanza esauriente su come si muove uno (dei tanti) che usano all'ingrosso betfair e "spazzolano" i denari degli utenti oltremanica.
