What happens when you take a professional gambler to the dog track | Can You Beat The Bookies? 

Guess there was no steak for dinner that night...

"I mean, he does seem angry" Well he is a professional gambler that just lost a grand In a matter of minutes 😂

The 3 biggest tips I can give someone on the dogs is 1: A couple of minutes before race starts, watch the betting odds and if there is a low price favourite (evens or below) and it's price rapidly increases just before the start. There's usually a good/dodgy reason why and I tend to bet bigger than normal 2: with the exception of handicapped races, dogs racing amongst each other are usually at the same level and will only have a fraction of a second difference between their best times. Look out for a dog with good form and going to toilet for a number 2 just before going into its trap. Their muscles are more relaxed and they run better. 3: dont go to the tracks and stay out of the bookies.

Professional gambler doesn’t win once...

His house didn't exactly portray a rich man so if hes only earning a normal wage it's not worth the stress to lose so much. If he had a huge house then I could say hes making it pay.

Lol I almost believed some miracle was gonna happen when he said 'dont worry about 5'

Dogs are a very corrupt sport. A real professional gambler works within the business and knows which dogs are a gud bet based on whether they were drugged or had their harnesses on too tight in qualifying. This lads a victim of the corruption and his own compulsive tendencies.

The only real 'tip' I ever recieved was for a greyhound. This was 25 years ago, but the tip came from a guy working in an old Coombes betting shop in Waterloo. 17.33 @Bristol, trap 3. Won by 15 lengths or more, Opend 8-1 backed into 5-2 fav. Apparently this dog was taken from a London track, slowed down in its trials, and graded much lower than his real ability.

It's interesting reading the comments here, they fall into the "I don't know what I'm talking about so I'll follow public preconception of gambling" camp and the "I understand betting and know professional people make a profit" camp. The first issue is … Gambling or Betting? Both apply, it depends on attitude. If you bet on Trap 3 because you fancy the dog may win (or you like it's name or it looks nice in those colours) then you are a gambler, you are playing a game of chance but, if you bet on Trap 3 because you have researched the race and your chosen dog and assess that the odds offer 'value' (I'll come onto that) then you are a bettor. You can gamble that Trap 3 will win or you can bet that it will. For those who don't understand betting 'value' is the difference between the actual probability of a runner winning and implied probability resulting from the odds offered by the bookmaker. You still won't win every race but if the actual probability of your selections is higher than their implied probability you will make a profit in the long term. A professional bettor never expects to win every bet. They are happy to lose 4 out of 5 bets and only win one if the odds are 5/1 for that means they have made a profit. Value arises because the bookmakers odds in the main are market driven, they do not reflect the bookie's opinion of the runner's probability, they reflect the odds required to balance their book so that they will attract custom by being competitive but also produce a profit regardless of which runner wins. May I respectfully suggest that those who state "mug's game", "Bookie always wins", "only win back what they previously lost" etc. actually learn something about the subject before making their proclamations of fake news!

“This is work init” didn’t know you get rinsed of 800 whilst working, don’t you EARN when you work

Gambling’s got to be one of the most expensive addictions out there.

I wouldn’t put £700 on a dog at Crayford even if someone gave me the money

Well, that Bookie will be eating steak tonight 😂😂

You lose a shitload of money, thats what happens when you take a " professional " gambler to the dogs lol

I need a coffee after that, all I need is a couple of Mugs !

I’ve raced greyhounds most of my life.. my family has done so for over 50 yrs ... let me say one thing clearly,, there are NO poor bookmakers!! If only the public knew what really goes on!!

Definitely isn’t a pro gambler, every pro gambler I’ve seen doesn’t care about a loss of £800 they brush it off, on to the next one, this guy is an addict you can tell in his facial expression

Ladbrokes broke lads

I am a bookmakers son..and at the age of 12 I was at greyhound racing with my dad and never forget one time he lost a lot of money on a race and I got upset...he said to me son don’t get upset, i am only loaning them the money,it will be back in the next couple of races and they will give us a lot of money extra for that loan and from that day I understood the bookmaker is the final winner

You can't win every day, so keep your losses to a minimum, and maximize your profit when you have the edge. Most people cannot gamble professionally because they lack discipline, not money or brains.

Great advert for gambling. It's a total waste of time and you NEVER win no matter what amount you win, the compulsion to gamble will always takeover.

If you ever fancy a laugh just watch this 🤣👏

Heartbreaking to watch...gambling is an addiction. You are basically paying for the highs and lows. Thrills can be expensive.

At the end of the day you only win back the money you LOST in the first place

The last thing u start backing is the dogs lol

Comments here are funny. That bloke had a bad day and I'm none the wiser as to whether he is a professional or not. He could be a mug having a bad day or someone profitable having a bad day, you can't decide off this video alone. But to say professional gamblers don't exist and everybody loses is very niave. Most people lose, yes. All people lose sometimes yes. But there are people who make money over a large sample size, similar to the way stock market traders do. They are also just gambling essentially

This was pure comedy ! 😂 the fact they got a comedian to do the segment too 😂😭

Right now he's living in a Homeless shelter

OK if the betting board shown after the big bet race is the race they had the big bets on .. it's race 11 the 21:16 at Crayford on 26th March 2019. The race was actually won by trap 2 and trap 4 Pennylane Roddy started 9/4F and finished 4th, it received significant interference in the race. Regarding the footage that purports to be that race .... the start looks legit as the early sectionals for the race are consistent with the way they jumped and the 4 is in the race. The vision down the straight at 2:09 is clearly from the following race, race 12 the last, which was the only race to have a vacant box and it was box 4. They obviously needed a shot and unfortunately the only race left on the card had the 4 as a vacant box. The side shot at 2:11 also seems to be a race with 5 runners so would appear to be the last as is the back straight footage 2:16. The footage from 2:20 purporting to be the finish of the big bet race appears to finish 5-6-2-3-1-4 this matches the finishing position of an earlier race, race 4 the 19.23 on the same card. So the finish of that has been edited in as the finish of the big bets race (note the guys aren't seen). As for the shot of dog 4 at 2:40 that we are supposed to believe is the 4 Pennylane Roddy they backed, well Pennylane Roddy is a Black Dog so that's obviously BS as well. Hope that clarifies what we actually see. It's also interesting that the first bet we see is 200 on trap 3 - this bet is on Topper Rocky in Race 5 the 19:38. The in race footage looks OK but the across the line footage for that bet actually has box 3 winning .... because it's the finish of Race 3 the 19:07. Bit poor using a race where the losing bet box actually wins.

Bookies finished professional gamblers off with the tax on bets changing from the punter to them, that's when many more odds on favs started to get beat, hence the death of professional gamblers.

An old freind of mine who was once involved in dogs, gave me a tip never back a dog unless you know its going to win lol.

Tough times for Jack Black.

That was gambling no doubt.. Not sure about the professional bit though!! Hope he's kept his bosses number? He's going to need his old job back, if that's how he goes about his business!!

Always happens. Ya win heaps and the one time you show off you lose

"Don't worry about 5" 5 wins. Good one.

Jack Black doing mini docos on pro-gamblers!! Nice!

What a weird video given the title. This guy is the equivalent of the punter you get in the bookies who stands up from their stool towards the end of the race and shouts COME ON NUMBER 5 before the betting slip gets scrunched up and lobbed across the floor. No idea what the score is here, but there was no professional gambler at work, nor even a keen disciplined one.

Professional gamblers don't bet on every race on the card

He would of had a better chance if he closed his eyes and picked one. 🤣🤣🤣

They should have this as the adverts for bookies - much more accurate representation.

I'd love to be a trackside bookie lol, offer 2/1 when the dog is 7/2 on betfair then back it on there for the same amount lol

That mistake made him miss steak.

I've seen professional gamblers at work. Really disciplined people, none of this chuck a few quid at a race malarkey, if it loses it doesn't bother me mentality. They punt once or twice, and they punt big. That's professionalism.

Isnt the definition of a professional that you get paid?

There were no professional gamblers in this video, just different levels of degeneracy.

What a 🔔🔚 giving it large 😂

Nevermind, this guy could make a fortune shorting on the stock market 😂😂😂

How was this instructional? I was expecting there would be some thought process in placing the bets. This is like watching an ex-alcoholic step back in a pub.

This is funny he s sweating already 🤣

Pro gamblers don’t bet on dogs, they bet on tennis.

If you dont have inside info stay clear of the dogs unless it's a fun night out at the track. Tip. Dog that leads at Crayford normally wins especially 380 meters

Your dog just called.... Saying it is still running.

Dont worry about the 5 dog, it's gonna taste nicer than a STEAK 😂

This guy could make profit lay betting 😆

2:23 me everytime I bet on racing

Don't worry about the 5 dog 🤣 5 dog wins 😂😂

yay. As realistic as it can be. I quit gambling. Was very hard to even get myself to stop. It raped me. This year I counted a loss of $900. Thats peanuts compared to the year before. Have managed to buy a lot of the things back that I sold to get by. Haven't done it for months.

I am not a professional gambler by any means but I could improve Jordan's gambling tactics very quickly. 1) never bet with the onsite bookies, always look for the best odds online via betfair/smarkets etc to maximize profits. 2) You are better off placing what are called 'lay' bets. Instead of betting on a dog or horse to win which only gives you a 1/5 chance of winning (or however many dogs or horses are running) instead bet AGAINST a dog or horse to win. Do your research and pick the worst dog/horse and bet against them winning. Sometimes upsets happen but it's like betting AGAINST Sheffield United beating Liverpool in the premier league, 99/100 times Sheffield get smashed and your bet wins.

full time gambling extremely difficult but some do make a living not many though - best of luck to them

Laughs in sample size 😂

If he was such a professional he wouldn't be gambling in every race.

Professional gamblers do not bet on dogs down the track they use only the exchange unless getting a better price which is virtually unheard of compared to betfair exchange prices lol

Ive gamble on horses abd dogs for years ..my best tip when betting on dogs is simple and pays well with no work involved ..all you do is look at racing posts selections for each race they mite say Trap 3 win Trap 6 danger Trap 1 nb All you do is back trap 6 and 1 to win singles plus a a RFC 6/1 .. Do that every race your see it works well ..test it with £2 stake each race £2 each dog to win plus 50p rfc

Steak turned to beans on toast real quick

I gamble semi-professionally on greyhounds and here is what i've learnt- I spend as much time monitoring my cash flow as i do placing bets As soon as i become successful with a bookmaker i get banned I know nothing about greyhound racing and have no desire to learn any of the things most people would claim to use to win such as form, timings or track bias If people mention any of the stratagies above they are probably deginerate gamblers and serial losers

sometimes you win some, other times you lose. Part of the game

Lloyd finishes night on a loss Jordan's heading for skid row and the food bank.

I was just thinking so a grand down so unless the next bet is even bigger, would have to win a couple of times to put that right. Trouble is with gambling in the early days of starting the worse thing you can do is win, think it’s easy, make an income out of it. You are drawn in, it’s a buzz. I have done many a spreadsheet and when you try to chase your losses boy do those numbers really add up. You need tens of thousands in reserve to bail you out, and that long losing run will finish you off anyway.

T4 was no where to be seen in any of the clips 😂🤣

Lmao this guy isnt a professional gambler, i can tell. 😅

I’ve had better gambles when I’ve farted whilst having the 💩s

Worked in a betting shop. Saw plenty of punters who would get solid tips on certain horses on certain days and walk away with a few grand not to be seen until they had another big one. Then you got the "professionals". Day in, day out; bet a few grand in a day, some days break even, some days lose, some days win a little. If they lost they knew they'd get you soon... and when that 33/1 came in at £20 they danced down the shop floor like they had proven to you once and for all that they were infallible. Then you got the guys betting on dogs. Half the time they'd be looking at the screen right until the trap lifted then running at you with their little ticket hoping to put £10 on some hound or other they liked the name of. No form. No skill. No hope.

If he was a pro u would not bet at track . That’s the biggest no no

I think he needs to change his profession 😂😂

Everything he bet on lost. Useless ! They get one horse winner at very short odds and the so called a snider tipster says this is a very special horse. After this race the horse ran twice more came stone last both times. Check the form

Just bought a new car ( BMW X1 2018 ) , SO THANKFUL to my brothers from @jbrothers_tips, I owe you for my life.

well this was boring

Gains Are Meager But Losses End Relationships , GAMBLER ..

Smart bets are on boxing You will always win you only get a big upset every 20-30 years And your not betting every day or every week only a one big fight every month or so

So many begrudgers on here! Obviously not single one of you understand the concept! If he won £1200 the following day he’s in profit. The other thing that really does my head in is the fact that the boys in the city aren’t regarded as gamblers. It is exactly the same particularly now we have exchanges. If this vid was about day trading on the city everyone would be applauding! Apart from obviously the green grilled type that just hate to see someone doing better than themselves!!

Billy big bollocks ; yh put £400 on number 4 😂😂😂😂😂

Life's a gamble , my self I'm waiting on France for 5k,

The real professional was the Bookie if you hadn't already worked it out.

Going to the dogs is a great night out, but unless you have solid inside information it's a mug's game for betting.

Professional gambler isnt going to bet on dog racing They bet football, ice hockey, boxing, basketball

Great skit by the BBC 🤣🤣🤣 love the fake awful gambler skit, brilliant

professional gamblers do not bet on every race...especially dogs!! I know a couple of people who make money from gambling but they lay on the betting exchanges...boring, but far more chance of making a profit...I'd love to take this blokes bets all day long...

Lol not only the dog being up to scratch for the run but some scrupulous trainers messing with the dogs , I have seen it before ,for me the trainer is very important not just the dog . Sometimes a bit of luck is needed for the poor pooch doing his/her best.👍

Amateur gambler: loses 1k a year. Professional gambler: loses 100k a year. Watch and learn, watch and learn.

What people don't get is most successful professional gamblers are not addicts. They only bet on events where they have an edge. Back betting on the dogs is very unpredictable. This is why bookies love the dogs.

Betting is a mugs game for 99.99% end of.

Where was 4, it wasnt even on the track 😂

He doesn’t care Cos it’s not his money he’s gambling with. He’s prob getting on for someone else

Professional MUG !

Hadn't worked for three years, now cooking steak burgers in burger king.

Haha he was NOT a professional gambler. Betting to +130% on the dogs? LOL

As a former dog owner the game is as bent as a gay man who's surname is bent.

Even god would struggle to predict 3 winners at a dog track

This is the reality. Can’t win them all, mugs game

there was no number 4 coming round that bend, i even paused it
