Sky should be ashamed of themselves after not giving him his job back.
Absolutely
WHEN A JOCKEY IS RIDING IN HIS LAST RACE THE OTHER RIDERS DONT SEEM TO PUSH THERES THAT HARD WHEN FRANKIE RODE 6 WINNERS GOING FOR 7 I SAY NO MORE
@Perfect Power absoluuuutely rambo
@@billsamuls7620 You could well be right sir. Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝
Met him often at the race tracks he is all ways smiling and never seen him moaning when he pays out either unlike a lot of other bookies
Great interview - could listen to Gary all day, a proper bloke.
Gary is an absolute legend. Such a lovely genuine guy. I could listen to his stories all day long. Best interview ever, Racing TV. Dave
Absolutely
Nick is the best interviewer bar none
After a couple of large gin and tonics what a lovely way to finish the day reading all the wonderful comments thanks so much gal ❤️
A lot of respect for you mate. You take care of yourself.
jockeys if one is retirering they do there best to make him win i say no more@@garythompson9452
What an absolute geezer, could listen to his stories all day long. One of lifes true characters. Don't get the sort anymore. Will be buying the book for sure.
A fantastic insight, brilliant Nick Luck presenting, let the man tell the story, no interuptions
fantastic interview with Mr Wiltshire ... a real bookmaker back in the day before all the algorithm kings
What a great listen this was, best of luck for the future Gary
Top man Gary, remember when he moved 3 doors from me in mk then he moved to racecourses estate built a brick wall for him , used to see him at colvill dogs hinckley, flapping, and at Bletchley dogs lovely man 👍
A man of his words. My gambling was getting out of control. I earn 12k a month and was gambling half that. Admitted to the wife and she already knew. So I now limit myself to £100 a week and we've never been so better off. This interview has just made me order his book winning it back
I have £200 a month spare, got to 15k in 6 months, then lost it, ruined me for 8 years, mate get as many holidays as you can they only £500 a week away 🎉 better then laying horses at Southwell like me 🥹
Marvellous ! Great I use word loosely interview as it was the Gary show, well done Nick for letting Gary talk
Everybody loves a true story, I'm no different, and watching this is the first time I've heard of this Man. Finished watching it thinking "what a Legend"
evening, gary
Could not believe my eyes at Kingston Blount point to point one day and one of the bookies clerks was Gary. Happy as Larry talking to every one.
They don’t make em like they used to. Proper bookmaker, not these exchange merchants nowadays
Very true unfortunately
The man is a survivor.
Great man and a great interview
The book (his first) that Gary referred to is called Winning It Back …..it’s a great read. God bless you Gary Wiltshire
Sky a disgraceful sacking this bloke one of the nicest blokes in the game
Great interview.Well done
fred done paid for the operation basically saved gary s life.thanks for a cracking video an good luck
Great interview boys! Very interesting! 🏇🏇🏇
Absolutely mark
I have to say that Gary is a fantastic bloke and I have fed him from my hospitality unit on the other side of the track at Ascot in the past. He still does Warwick where he has stood for over 30 years. Lovely lovely bloke.
Wonderful Interview :)
The racing community is second to none and I think the stories from punters of near missis and unlucky losers are sometimes better than those of winners.....after all its something we can all relate to......right? .....and the Magnificent 7, I was there and didn't back a single one of them!! Lol.
Thanks for posting
A lovely lovely man great interview guys👌
Great interview top fella Gary
Should make film about this fella and the events of 1996 and beyond.
Absolutely, what a story.👍
Nick is a great interviewer too. Genuinely interested and knows the material backwards. Good listener too, not interrupting constantly like most modern interviewers.
Paid shill for corrupt bookies more like 😂😂😂😂😂
Riveting interview. Brilliant stuff.
Absolutely
Just quite simply a great man....
Respect from Thailand
I had 40/1 or maybe 60/1 winner at Brighton in the last race at Brighton many year's ago. Went to collect my winnings and he was trying to do a runner. I got my winnings. Bookmakers bent crooks the lot.
great guy and a great story; thanks a bunch;
Well said
Never met Gary but if I did pint would be on me! What a guy!! Never heard someone so so happy he deserves the world! Off to buy the book now❤️
Top Top bloke! Seen gary commentating on the pool and seems a cracking man!
Very nice interview nice guy
Absolutely
What a fantastic man, great story!
Well said Jim
@Perfect Power I see you were sat there at 3a.m commenting on everyones posts from your 50th email address wayne....lolololololol
what an absolute Gentleman, go on Gary Lad.....
This is meant as a big compliment but people like Gary (also more extreme Harry Findlay) have had so many life experiences with so many highs that when interviewed they cannot help being jogged by memories that take them off track for a bit so they jump around. Always a sign of a life well lived
program was a pleasure to watch
This is what happens to me on trading platforms. Take bets thinking can’t lose here
Can we have more of Gary please?
Proper bookie and a great bloke better than the crap today
Mr Witshire is a true gent and legend - from the old school of bookmakers
WHAT A BLOODY LEGEND SOME GUY 👏🙌👏
Well said Gary
Wayne your a bully who wouldn’t say it to my face
Enjoyed that
Absolutely brilliant genuine guy well done
Couldn’t agree more
Good one wayne
Brilliant watch what a top top man
From heaven to hell and back again. Well done Gary
lovely man remember when he use to come to hinckley dogs track on a sat night
Really enjoyed that Gary great guy
What a life. Legend
Well put
@Perfect Power Wayne sat there at 3 in the morning being a cheesy wotsit as per usual
Good interview had not known his story good on him.i have had my share of losing bets had a Bentley my pride and joy sold it put the money on S.C to win gold Cup (David Nichols) didn't win come out next time 3 weeks later and won a 2 mile race at Liverpool even money.Now just my pension to live on were I earned a day now a month but would not change a thing trying to beat the bookie keeps the heart ticking.
Proper gentleman
Top top lad u can only wish good things for him
Disgusting how hills wanted there dough within a week ,good on coral giving him time ,fair play to him playing with the big guns tho ppl like him I want them to win
Absolutely
A true gent and bookmaker.
Great character.
Amazing story, what a character. Its easy in hindsight but laying 40k at 4s to Coral when he looking for 9/2 seems incredibly generous. Nowadays these bookies don't take any sort of size.
Gary used to present the dogs with my dad (Dave Smith) many years ago.
i hope your dad is well, i remember seeing him some time back now in billericay,he disappeared from the telly because of one mistake...calling a result at lingfield too fast if i remember right, i would still prefer dave to alot of the presenters today.
Great man Gary
Absolutely
I see you were up at 3 a.m commenting on everyone’s posts again. Jealousy is a sad thing wayne
Oxford dog wonderful times take bet pay out or lose new every one name great day just memories now
⭐Unadulterated👌
I remember Derek Burrows I'm sure he was at Henlow as well
What a great interview. Gary and the Legand harry Findley are two of the best people the game will ever have.
Totally agree
one layed an horse that bankrupted him and the other lost a fortune on the horses.....hardly people to look up to
Findley admitted he lost 3 million on the horses though he did make more than that on other sports....but as regards racing he was a poor judge who backed long odds on shots and lost
Legend..
so Unlucky, I still cant believe that bloody horse won
Can we please go back to the old days whereby Bookies pay 1/4 odds for 1st 4 in Handicaps of 16 runners or more & the rest of the older rules!! Clerks of Courses should be telling the Rails Bookies they do same or they don't get a Pitch!! - Also the 1/5 odds 1st 4,5,6 or 7 Bollocks for online Bookies - They're Raking it in - Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it!!!!!!!
How Nick luck was overlooked in favour of ed chamberlain for the itv racing job is a mystery to me . Old wooden top ed isn’t a patch on Nick
i was in a ladbrokes bookies in Wimbledon London that day. i was just a young dumb punter and i was chatting to an old man who seemed to know more than me about horses. i asked him if he fancied anything that day and he said he thought frankies 1st 5 races had a good each way chance. i wrote out a bet to do 10 pounds each way accumulator on the 1st 5 races and then i thought i wouldn't be that lucky and i threw the bet in the bin. not sure what i would have win but it would have been quite a bit
roughly 30k
actually nearer to 55k
Wiltshire is a real gangster ...
I have an interesting Gary story , he was filling in on a tipping line and i happened to phone it once! and that was the day i heard Gary say the following unforgettable quote ...."whoever put that in at 15/8 has s h i ** in their a r ** !!! " shortly after i believe he was fired from said tipping line :PP
Seems like a really decent geezer.
If you can lose your fortune on a game of pitch and toss and make no mention of the loss. Or in this case talk about it to anyone who'll pay you an appearance fee from that day onward.
Lovely man he may be, and yes everyone got paid...eventually, but he was betting with money he didn't have.
The last race of the 7 was one of the most fixed races you'll ever see. Yet it's very rarely mentioned and was never investigated. Just shows that race fixing is fine if it gets the sport untold attention.
Was paddling water for last 2 furlongs
He is right about the lack of smartness and style in bookies attire these days - its disgusting
Well done to Fred Done.
Very.Goodman.what Astor you.wish him.well
Stephen nolans best friend is northern irelands biggest independent bookmaker.. did gary know that?
Some people would think he's crazy ? But only the people with that rouge gambler inside who does some crazy shit planning ahead thinking the dream is in sight ! Truly understand he enjoyed it in a sick way, he felt that emotion very few ever will when it all fell apart that sickness 🤢🤢
Well put
Gary , have met you in a betting shop in Birmingham by robin hood island , what an experience ,also i have read you book , absolutely brilliant.
Small bookie ! fuck me he is massive now
funny i was in bookies norm bout 20folk in, was at least 200, all in backing dettori, but i done a gary! and backed the 2nd pat edderys i was same like surely must get beat lol
Love to hear these stories from the ring... sounds like a top bloke.... not sure about how far he's stretching the truth when laying a nag for close to 1.5 mill with a 3k float... but whatever floats ur boat makes 4 a good Jackanory!!! As someone mentioned love listening to this guy, Harry Findlay and Barry Dennis not forgetting barney curly
oh he did thou lay that nag ...
It was layed to bookies on the slate
He’s right though bookies are not proper bookies no more! The only proper bookmaker is Fred done who pushes out his odds as he’s willing to be the only proper bookmaker atm and he will take over the bookmaking in time.
Come oncourse mate you’ll be able to get whatever lumps you want on.
Fred done hahahahaha your takin the piss
Didn’t he already publish a book back in the day?
"Winning it Back" good read
What a story....Gary should hold his head high. He saw an opportunity in the market and a 1 in a million beat him. I bet you he would take the same bet over and over again....most people should as that is how you make money over time. Just a shame it was a touch "too" much risk for him at the time
Well said mate
Proper man. Se him last at high easter point to point grand national day 3 horse race. 1 to 3 6 to 4 3 to 1 the rag 😂😂😂😂😂
Gal would also give Shakespeare a run for his money.....one of his chapters is called: "I Done Me Bollocks Again"!!!! go on Gal! :))))))))) what a title for a chapter :))) also he details about being about to get married to his jew girlfriend and she said he would have to be circumcised !! this was arranged :P but Gal f ed off to Jersey ! i was roaring with laughter reading that :)))) our hero wasn't having that! great character great man
nice bloke but he has put me of betting for life ,
A lovely chap from corals don't you mean a bbbbbbb
Gary has a free syndicate wow that's good but count me out lol
Bookies waste of space nowadays , impossible to get a bet on unless ur a losing punter ,, exchanges outshine bookies all day long 💯💥💥💥
Tommo wanted 2000 shares if it’s free 😂
😂😂😂😂
Class .
Wonder how much he could of greened your the race for .
He should of got compensation from sky what a joke thinking he masterminded some dog bet for 8 bags
but I remember..... Montagues Dawson.
Why didn’t he just put 300k on 9/2 payout the 1.8 then keep 350k
What is this all about!?
Show me a poor bookie .
typical of most punters betting in the shops you win
they scream blue murder bookies died years ago
run by stockbrokers who play by their own rules
