The Other Side: TopSport Podcast Episode 9… On the latest podcast, we chat with Tristan from TopSport about how they handle their book different levels of racing, and how their successful clients bet – are all winning punters just win bettors, or are there long-term winners betting place, multis and exotics?
We’re all punters. And we speak to a lot of other punters. On The Other Side podcast series we jump the fence and speak with Tristan Merlehan, Director at TopSport, to get an insight into modern-day bookmaking.
Tristan takes us through how a modern corporate bookmaker operates, the issues they face, and how changes in racing and sport impact the business.
