Summary
“The biggest risk is not taking any risk.” (Mark Zuckerberg)
David Watts and Johnny Winall have over 30 years’ experience as independent bookies. Their shocking story takes you behind the scenes that some in the horseracing world would rather not see the light of day.
Their roller-coaster journey takes in some staggering tales from the Grand National, Cheltenham Festival, and Royal Ascot. Along with a refreshingly honest account of some calamitous business dealings, the book reveals how bookmakers think and hot to improve your chances of winning.
An intriguing insight into the world of sport and gambling. Astonishing, and extensively researched, Mug Bookies is thoroughly entertaining and a must-listen for anyone who likes a bet.

Thoroughly Entertaining
Very informative with humour throughout. I was intrigued by the sample and was not disappointed. Enjoyed narration and I think this story would appeal to a wide audience

Disappointed
I was looking forward to this- as an oap who has spent his life following horse racing but interested in most sports I found it almost boring as I knew 90% of the content - as a youngster it may appeal. I was looking for anecdotes of which there were many but the narrator had no idea of expression or timing- it may have been better with a great raconteur who knew nothing about betting.

Disappointing - expected more.
Found it jumped from story to story without any real substance. Not sure what the authors target market is. As a racing enthusiast, it didn't do anything for me - mug punter, shortchanged by the bookies again ! Struggled to finish it.
