#BettingPeople Interview DAVE O’REILLY Betting Industry Veteran 2/3
Dave O’Reilly has spent a lifetime in the betting industry, working with Mecca, Ladbrokes then rising through the ranks with Paddy Power. In that time he survived robberies and other hardships with the humour and big personality he’s become known for. Now a freelancer he spreads his time between opening betting shops, commentating live at the dogs and off tube for Ladbrokes, works on-course for AK Bets and in his spare time, marries people.
Part 2 Dave goes deeper into his robbery stories and his doubts about the victim, a funny story from his days working in on-course betting shops and why his idea of customer service and that of his employers ultimately led to him leaving.
