#BettingPeople Interview JON FRANKLIN Author 1/2
Jon Franklin has used his experiences firstly working in betting shops then progressing to managing them as inspiration to write his first novel ‘Shouting The Odds’ which is based in the pre-Internet betting, pre-mobile phone, halcyon days of betting shops of the 1990’s.
In Part 1, Jon talks about his life working in betting shops, from wastrels and lively knowledgeable punters rubbing shoulders with high rollers arriving in Rollers on the North Circular to the bad back streets of Nottingham.
