It's an episode with a difference today as my guest is Simon Nott - a man more used to posing the questions then answering them via his very popular Betting People interview series.

Simon is someone steeped in betting having worked in the ring for several on-course bookmakers for several years and now perhaps most famous for his interviews with some of the biggest movers and shakers in the betting world.

We explore Simon's vast experience working on course and the buzz this used to generate for both bookmakers and punters alike with the need for quick thinking, excellent math skills and a very thick skin.

Simon also discusses how bookmaking has changed these days and the challenges on course layers face, yet also why punters might wish to consider venturing back to the racecourse to get their bets on and some of the up-and-coming firms trying out new approaches.

He also shares his thoughts on the Betting People series of interviews and some of the guests he has had on, how it all began, the guest he most regrets not having on and the plans to develop it further in the future.

As well as being someone with a wealth of experience in the betting world, Simon is also one of the nicest guys you would ever hope to meet and so it was an absolute pleasure to spend time talking to him for this episode.
