The Other Side: TopSport Podcast Episode 35… The annual Perth racing carnival is in full swing, but it remains a difficult area for the bookies to operate in… Tristan explains why.
Plus we get a final wrap-up of the Spring Carnival and have a chat about how market percentages work.
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.
Have you got a question for Tristan about anything we’ve discussed, or anything else related to bookmaking? Just get in touch with us and we’ll ask him on the next episode.
