#BettingPeople Interview MARK HILL Bookmaker and Punter 2/3
Pro punter and bookmaker Mark Hill sees bookmaking and punting as sides of the same coin. He has excelled in both spheres. He bets on course under his own name at a select few racecourses and at the Midlands point to point circuit. He openly admits his main income is punting. He comes from good stock, in the 1980’s his late father Angus was feared by bookies as the ‘Coup King’. It’s all here and more.
Mark talks about the problems of getting his bets on, not going ‘all out’ at Point to Points though opinionated bookmakers make his task easier. Getting on betting on Hunter Chases, how watching videos and having a real feel for the form book aids his quest to back winners. How laying a keen rider £50,000 – £1000 and £33,000 – £1000 paid off.
