Skint Mob!: Tales from the Betting Ring

by Simon J. Nott

Skint Mob! brings to life the betting rings of UK racecourses from Aintree to Ascot and Newton Abbot to Newbury via point to points and the odd nip into a betting shop. The author uses his own experiences working for bookmakers since the late 1980′s as a vehicle to bring to life the colour and characters of that most vibrant and exciting of habitats. Add a liberal sprinkling of humour and you have a must-read for all fans of UK racing and its unique atmosphere.

I thoroughly annoyed this, and (during lockdown), read
it within 3-days.
An entertaining and thoughtful account of how it used to be.
