Alastair Down talks to professional punter Neil Channing about life as a gambler

Awesome video. I love listening to professional gamblers through the years.

Really good interview. Neil is a very interesting character. Could listen to his opinion on 2 shades of beige 👍

Stop talking over Neil Alistair......

Marvellous

although Alistair is a really great guy in his own right, he is talking too much here. We want to hear Neil. That aside, great

Down should have talk a lot less

Love Alastair, he’s a bad interviewer though, doesn’t let the guest speak enough, always pissed too, great!

A true degen...but he was a nit at poker.Respect for all degens.

Stop bloody interrupting him.

neil comes across as an absolute gentleman.
interviewer talks constantly

I can't understand putting your own money on someone else's advice. I had Saint Roi, Al Boum Photo and Chosen Mate on the Friday Cheltenham. I didn't see any tipster put up three winners. Where I fall down is on how to profit from picking winners. But my biggest bet at Cheltenham was on Skandiburg, I was sure he'd win - nowhere. I've taken more out of my paddy power account than I've put in, but not by much. I gave up on place pots when I realized I was getting more winners easily enough and picking the first two home in my selections, but maybe losing the placepot and not not getting anything. I don't have a system of betting.

The only chance of winning these days, is laying favourites.

Thanks Neil, i enjoyed all of what you spoke about,,i am a little older than you so it brought back memories,, Norman

Alistair still remains one of the very best. It was his passion for horse racing which led me to fall in love with then game.

Alastair pissed again...

Professional gamblers are a thing of the past. If you win off the bookies now? They just bar you!! Telling you they no longer want your buissiness.

Most annoying interviewer ever

PAIR OF TOSSERS

Always loved Alastair but he is a terrible interviewer.
Can't help but interrupt

Quite interesting

Does channing make money now?

Neil is still the same as when he was at school, and played poker with my brother and their mates, around my Mums kitchen table when they were far too young......lol Good memories.

He’s drunk as an auld monk

Never hear of him now channel 4 racing 🐎 maggot
