#BettingPeople Interview JOHN HENWOOD Rails Bookmaker 1/4

In this the first part of our new series with John Henwood we hear his story, rising from the slums of Notting Hill (how times have changed) to the world of gambling. He started out, as so many did, as a school bookie, worked for William Hill then a colourful bookmaking character named Danny Quastel. From there he owned betting shops and dipped his toe into betting at the shark-infested waters of flapping greyhound tracks and point to points with some scrapes along the way.
