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.

This should make you think deeply into gambling, not many punters win.

Last paper tip won..@1/4!,

[@jackdineen8983]

Seamus it was 11/8 with every single firm and 6/4 with 365. There was a 40 cent rule 4 which makes it just bigger than 4/5. I backed it at 6/5 and got paid 8/11 so I am quite happy to get on a 4 on shot at 8/11. You probably are one of those cretins who won’t bet odds on shots but will back 50 losers in a row at 20/1 and think they are clever because some of them out ran their odds.
