#BettingPeople Interview Dax and Joe Oliver Racecourse Bookmakers Part 2/3
Joe Oliver has bet on course under the name Dick Oliver since the 1970’s and has had his son and Daughter working with him over the years. Joe is now officially ‘retired’ after Dax took over at the helm. Here’s their story. Policeman, banker, bookie, the story of the Dick Oliver firm.
In Part 2, Dax talks about how a Tsunami had Joe even more miserable than he was in Part 1. He confides in us about a ruckus and fallouts between father and son, being very consistent, not ducking and diving but playing the game and staff that know exactly how they play.
There’s also reflection about a particularly bad day at Cheltenham, picking and choosing where they bet and the importance of keeping records on how good or bad meetings are and their opinions on ‘greening up’.
