A Showman of the Betting Ring: Troubles of a Travelling Life

The betting ring is my stage, the punters are my audience, the racecourse is my arena and the betting ring is home. As I take you through my years growing up within the betting ring, I am going to open up and bare all. I joined a 'traveling show' within the betting ring at the age of 6 years old. I spent my childhood observing the movements of the ring, and the operations behind an on-course bookmaker. I had perfected my role as a front man, and I set out to achieve my dreams of becoming a figure within the betting ring. From appearing on Geordie Shore in 2012, to being named as the champion bet taker at Cheltenham in 2014, I had attracted the attention of some of the biggest names within the industry. Channel 4 Racing introduced me as "A Showman Of The Betting Ring" in 2015, I pushed myself further and went on to appear in 4 high profile Morning Line interviews representing the betting ring. Yet I still ached for more! From a youngster within the jungle that is the betting ring, to creating my "showman" persona on the betting stool, to Britain's Got Talent and the downfall which I faced from rejection. From a traveling life and the troubles that come with it. This is my battle with life.
