Interview MIKE O’NEIL: Mike had spent his working life in computing developing software. He sold his last company he was in his mid-40’s and turned his attention to betting.

In this interview with Simon Nott, he explains his idea, inspiration and the thinking behind RaceStatsApp.com. Meeting Mike O’Neil.
