#BettingPeople Interview MICKEY FLETCHER Rails Bookmaker (1/4)
Colourful on-course bookmaker Mickey Fletcher talks about his beginnings in bookmaking taking on professional punters and combining his entrepreneurial spirit with his love of travel, greyhound racing and horse racing.
He starts by explaining how he got his moniker ‘The Asparagus Kid’, betting at the dogs and on the rails on racecourses getting in front of Ladbrokes on course to make it pay.
How laying horses for £3000 or £4000 a race made it essential to have time out and why it was essential to know who to be with, who to be against and when to wave the white flag.
