How can people not like this man, the bookies didn't have a thought for taking his old man's money which resulted in barney having no shoes as a kid, all he done is got back what was rightly his with a little more besides, pure genius. R.I.P Barney Curley.
@@CaanBerryProTrader it obviously stuck with him as child and he wanted to get his revenge, he done what thousands of us wish we could do pull off a great coup.
Always interesting hearing about characters in the punting game. You should do more of this Caan, plenty of gambling legends to pick from. Some fascinating stories of bookies being caught with their pants down which always cheers people up. Longer format would be welcome. RIP Barney Curley
@@MikaSaastamoinenYou should definitely have a lot more respect for people who have passed away!Complete idiot.You will never achieve anything close to any of them.Get back in your cave.Troll.
As a fellow Irish man I wish I had 25 %of his intelligence/mindset. Not simply to make money but to stand up Strong and not give a dam. He never wanted friends, just loyal people who he could call Friends. God bless the Olde Boy. X
Barney is one of many colourful characters that have plied their trade against the enemy, he once lost £350,000 in a day at the races without batting an eyelid...He's also won £350,000 in a day -and he didn't get too excited about that, either! The day he lost £350,000 he was quoted as saying "its only money and you cant take it with you"I knew I'd make it up. If I put less than £10,000 on a horse it would mean I didn't rate it and that was 1989...He also brought the Newmarket home of Flamboyant failed super punter Terry Ramsden who was estimated to have lost more than 77million in the 1980s....Considering Ramsden was once the 57th richest man in Britain it was a big fall from grace to end up in prison in 1987..
Ian Terry was a true great he ended in prison because one of the socall big bookies he bet with says he fail to pay a bet also he said he was bankrupt but he had money. A few years back he was punting in America why because nobody knew who he was. In fact he bet 2million on his horse that one no one in these days bets that a mount on horses simply so called bookies wouldn't except this they are not bookies now in UK bookies win profit of over 12 billion a year. One wm hill it's not wm hill it's American company now who ownes it and bett 888 the other half. And if you watch South African racing as I bet now . Watch hills returns of winners and forecasts are some differences to other bookies in UK.
Long before Harry Findlay was well known I was at a dog track and we were chatting about punting and it was when snooker was making its debut on TV. He wasnt scared of betting 1/7 about Steve Davis or Terry Griffiths as he knew that the bookies had under-priced these professionals. In those early days snooker on Tv was in its infancy and the bookies weren't too au fait with value etc and Harry enjoyed their generosity. 🙂
@@CaanBerryProTrader yea never heard of him but it’s probably the exact thing I would do to try and beat the bookies if I had the clout and know how..I was more of a roulette man if I’m honest. Back in the days when you would “pull the plug” on the machine if you knew your number won’t coming in on Ladbrokes machines. Not that I would do such a naughty thing. Let’s just say a few people cleaned up until they started putting skirting boards around the electrical points😂. I will have a drink for him at the next race meeting I go to.👏. Great video
@@KorisnickoIme84 No it can be done. I've had 7 winning years. But you need patience and discipline. Something over 99% of gamblers lack. Which is of course why they fail. Even if they have a good system.
The biggest crooks in the racing game have to be the paid tipsters! I won on a horse that was getting 40/1 for the win. Everyone was going crazy for this horse that had been winning on wet tracks for months. there was only one horse that could do any thing on a dry track. Biggest win I have ever got
Caan, do you have to be a Freemason in order to be able to keep your winning account open? It worries me that they can close your account on a whim for no reason at all.
They don't tend to close them but restrict u to 50p bets or less..I have to keep buying accounts cuz all mine are restricted to 20p bets and getting on in a bookies is near impossible
Typical Barney Curley horse form: 6/67P5/ Hasn't run for 586 days ... yet is 5/1 favourite for a big handicap race! This is how sh*t scared Barney had the bookies - fair play to him :) My Dad used to lecture me about Barney Curley gambles in the 1980's and even got on a couple of them himself
A hero barney for the ordinary punter,today's racing is harder to win ,jockeys are all out academy's, not like eddery, Carson piggott, ap mc coy, great jockeys,
It's a hard game gambling I lost 700 yesterday in over 1 hour oxford road but I win loads as well its just controlling the addiction I love and hate it
No the phone call was to stop bookies to hedge bets off the tracks. And another time was at a track in the borders someone used the phone to stop the result coming through on the plower to all so call bookies in towns so then chaps like my friends put money on the horse that one 5min earlier. And it was more than what u said ok
The most interesting part of the interview which has been removed from the interview most people show . Barney states that the channel need investigating i for stating prices because the prices the channel states are only available with the bookies to mug punters and they won't take shrewd money. 'You couldn't have 2 bananas to a banana with the bookmakers. I often wonder who is behind this video editing when the most important part for punters is removed.Watch the removed part of the video below. ua-cam.com/video/LfPpBpDaSXE/v-deo.html
close to being a genius but not a punters pal or nothing .. he was all for himself and only himself ..no body would bet in the race if one of his was running ... he was very friendly with lots of flat and jump jockeys ... very very close shall we say .... but a certain g bradley was not having any of his im the boss crap .... he mentioned a friend of his a mr white and big bad barney soon hushed up and went away ... the conversation was taped . very interesting to say the least ,
Why is everyone applauding this cheat that traded on inside information? And do you really believe that Yellow Sam wasn't deliberately held back in its previous races? Don't forget that barney will have cheated other punters out of their money on that day. Bookies are bad but Barnie is no better.
I see no one in the comments section here backed any of his runners in the many 'prep' races for these betting coups. I remember a horse (rated mid 70s) was transfered to his yard and a well-known tipster said "the BHA could save us all a lot of time and money and just drop the horse 15 lbs now". Sums it up pretty well for me. I won't say what I really think but there's more to this than just Curley v the bookies. There's a third party involved in the shape of 1000s of punters who were short changed along the way. Let's not brand his as some sort of hero.
If you enjoyed this video, you'll probably want to see this one about betting strategy too: ua-cam.com/video/iL4rmbwFwEY/v-deo.html

Yes I found that very cutting. Almost like it was revenge on the bookies.
@@CaanBerryProTrader it obviously stuck with him as child and he wanted to get his revenge, he done what thousands of us wish we could do pull off a great coup.
@Pa. D spot on. Well said. Every coup he instigated cheated his fellow punters who backed other horses in the race.
That clip of barney curley on at the races putting mccurrick and harvey in his place is brilliant it never gets old!
Too true, I must have watched it 20 times myself! A different generation to those now who say what their paymasters want to hear instead.
harvey just wanted the ground to open up and swallow him to get the heat off haha was classic curley :)
the time he spent in the seminary limerick studing for the priesthood served him well
Lies again? Lady Luck LA Liga
Thanks for the video, very much enjoyed it. This man was definitely a legend and colourful character, RIP

One hell of a charachter this one! Will think on it, could do, there are a few. Bill Benter was a bit of a legend too.
@@CaanBerryProTrader Bill Benter is my hero :)
Good video Caan .I have just recently finished his book,love the phone box story..A great man .!
Nice One Caan, good to see you pay tribute! The Graph screen was particularly interesting....
They used to be mental trades, Shane.
An absolute legend and as generous as they come
Certainly gave plenty back.
Great video. God bless Mr Curley and may he rest in peace. 🙏
Indeed, a true charachter.
a legend R.I.P Barney Curley.
A true horse racing legend.
Another fine vid from Caan, i meet Barney a couple of times a good man [ not if your a bookie] good subject for a Movie , RIP
Love the videos , love your intelligence, you are a f***in star .! Hate the bookies!, glad to find you .
Cool, thanks for subscribing!
What a lad. Rest In Peace
Fair play if you can pull it off. Can you imagine the paperwork he would have to fill out to get a bet on now LOL
Very well made video, great content, well edited and clearly narrated - I’m onboard.

Great story Caan.
Great video. Very informative. Rip Barney
Cheers, PF. Few more like this?
@@CaanBerryProTrader For sure, Caan. I spend more time watching your vids than Netflix. Caan Berry- the Che Guevara of gambling!
I taught his daughter at Suffolk College in the mid 1990s. I asked about her Dad a couple of times but she she didn't say much

Truly an inspiration
What a Legend
I did not know Barney was still putting it about a bit - fair play to him

I loved the guy, we all know racing is bent, I'd just like to be a fly on the wall when they're planning the coup
Would make for a great film wouldn't it...
Rest in peace you legend even the younger punters know of this man speaks volumes 💔♥️🇮🇪🇮🇪 G.B.N.F
Barney you legend. RIP
Sorely missed by many I'm sure. Barney Curley was one of a kind.
didnt hear he died, RIP big barney, well played sir
Were you in a cave? haha it was everywhere.
A working class hero
Rags to riches that one!
Shame we don't really have people like this in racing anymore...I guess Harry Findlay is a character but never again will we see another Barney curly
Yea, not quite the same though I don't think...
@@CaanBerryProTrader agreed but he's the closest I came to finding a similar racing personality.. maybe JP McManus is a better example?? Idk

Fascinating.
Never heard of the fella but great life he seemed to have had. I detest the bookies too.
He certainly lived it to the fullest, cant believe you never heard of him!!

Haha fair point.
Legend , saved frankies ass when he was young and foolish
17 million went on analogy in 2005 in the space of 30 minutes . Bookies covering their bets
All inspiring
interesting to see top jock Jamie Spencer with Barney in Africa
Ye, if you read up they were close.
King Curley R.I.P.
A betting legend in his own right. Yellow Sam was one hell of a Coup.
And my question is can we earn regularly in Gambling
No.. You will lose more than you win in the long run..

Top man for a stroke or two ! No mobile phones back then ? 😜
This guy sounds like a legend, are there any good docs on him on UA-cam or elsewhere online?
I would advise a book that was written about him by Nick Townsend, "the sure thing". Details here: caanberry.com/the-sure-thing/
There's a 50 minute interview with him and Nick Luck doing the rounds atm.

Hello
Caan, do you have to be a Freemason in order to be able to keep your winning account open? It worries me that they can close your account on a whim for no reason at all.
lol, I wish... no, just use an exchange, thats your only option!
They don't tend to close them but restrict u to 50p bets or less..I have to keep buying accounts cuz all mine are restricted to 20p bets and getting on in a bookies is near impossible
Hi mate could you do a video on how to bet with pinacle sports?
and what it is?
Not really something for me although will consider it.

Bankrupt a few bookies in the process.

It's pronounced Bell-ewes_town.....
Noted :)
He was a crook done the charity work to make people think otherwise,a very smart man
Seems more sincere than that with his own background and his son passing when he started it.
