Thousand pound to get here and only 2 pound each way bets🤣🤣🤣🤣 same everywhere Barry!
Proper gambler our Barry.. no seat belt.
Remember watching this when it first came out ( still have it on vhs ) probably the best programme ever made describing the life of an oncourse bookmaker.
Legend. Thanks so much for uploading. Keep well.
Best ever. Been hunting for years for this!!
Mrs Dennis is a pure gem God bless her ....
Yeah she seems like a diamond. they was back then. No ambition other than to hold the fort down and by the way theres nothing wrong with that.
Mrs Middleton as it 'appens.
She must be Married to that drack
Fascinating to listen the old boys speculating about the future , totally clueless that Betfair would turn them all into dinosaurs
Came in just 4/5 years later....
@@Isleofskye less. June 2000
20 years !! I used it for years at The Track without anyone really picking up on it though some did suspect :)
@@Isleofskye I don't go to races often but when I have I've always seen the bookies playing on the exchanges
Always now but when I played on them 12 years ago they were not allowed at the track ...:)
The real life terry tibbs
Was down in Brighton for a holiday back in August 2014, i decided to have a ride to Lingfield Park i had 3 winners all with Barry Dennis lol! he was'nt a happy chappy i had £20 eway on Ohio at 8/1, £20 eway on Fiducia at 14/1 and £40 win on Secret Succes at 3/1 in the lucky last! what a day that was
As long as short priced favourites don’t win bookies don’t give a monkeys. That’s where they earn their dosh.
I’ve even spoken to the horse and it can’t win
I remember this when it was on TV, a fantastic programme
BARRY REAL BOOKIE
pretty sure the terry Tibbs charter is based of this dude lol the 90s was so good
I'm Irish live in New York the racing is depressing here without on couse bookies hope Ireland Wales Scotland England never stop the on couse action great intertainment
What is 'on cause' betting please? I'm American and can't understand some of the common terms used in the U.K.
@@Shawk95 it’s on course. It means betting at the track ( ie the course) with the bookmakers.
He was so kind to that American lady by offering Place & Show instead of Each-way.
Big Barry hates the old dears with there 2pnd ew bets lol 😂😂
Christ wouldn’t want to be in that motor on the way home 😅
Bookies never lose because they only take bets from mugs 😂😂😂😂😂
That guys wife seems like a really good woman.
My dad would have loved this. Bless him.
Amazing documentary
"Soaked to the skin...done a thousand pound" ...love it!
£500 at 20/1 - Lucky Bastard lol
Barry Dennis is a legend of the game! Always used to come on the Morning line with his Bismarck! A proper character he was and never shirked a bet! Good old bazza
That's Henry VIII level of dinner calories there Barry!
35.42 Pioneer computer king the great John Lovell watching Barry in action.
fantastic
wana be a facking bookmaker now!!'how much did ya win barry how much did ya win !! .....🤣🤣🤣
Loved winning but hated being turned over by punters loved to have a bit of banter with Barry over Romford dogs but it’s hard not to like a rogue like this guy !
I'm finding his wife strangely alluring.
So am I, hahaha.
I’m actually in the documentary, I’m the guy with the blonde hair when he sings who wants to be a millionaire about 41 minutes in. The good old days
@Jack Sheppard The good old days
Days sadly gone, great days and characters.
Was you off your nut at the time because you look it 😂
Mr tipsy
Was it? Sit at home now in the lap of ones luxury watching it on Sky or on any of the betting platforms having a bet. Im 52 and prefer these days mate.
I'm spreading the word about how u use the date for horse racing and sports fantastic and the scratchings are fantastic 🤫
Don't forget THe Pork Scratchings....
@@Isleofskye I'm on to the letters and numbers 🤣
You're going in the right direction :)
"You show me a broke bookey-maker" I think that perfectly sums up Royal Ascot.
yep. absolute cunts with too much money yet argue the price of £2.50 each way wager.
To be fair she was talking more sense than the fella she was talking to lol
37:45 is brilliant
All that doe and has a cracked window screen 😂 typical tight ass gambler like myself 🤦♂️
“Over two pound a pint” 😂😂😂
Went to ascot in 98 good times.
Brilliant , steak 2 eggs 😂
Just watched this docu now (must've missed it when shown at the time) but really enjoyed it, I agree with most of the comments here regarding the exchanges & now not having to leave the house to get bets on! It's a shame as a day at the races used to be seen as a proper day out & the whole social aspect. Not everything's positive about the computer age!
Its part of the FUN !, Trying to beat your bookmaker ! and having a laugh , one way or another ! And for Greyhounds , the late , John Power ! both would say come on give us your Money !! and laugh ! and lay you a bet ! and when you retired your horse / greyhound to take them home ! They always wished them well , as say they ve earned it ! give em ,a good life ! Though you had a friend / foe friendship , with your bookmaker , at the end of the day ,you could still have a laugh ! and don t loose my money I will win it back , ha , ha .
Just shows you what the toffs get up too when drunk... Regards Tony
Legend
20:24 france 7/1 to win the world cup GET ON!

What a legend....
BARRY, NUMBER ONE BOOKIE.GOOD ON YA SON.
Core blimey , the wokes and snowflakes would have to be interned listening to half of this , blady well loved this 👍
Great documentary ,There used to be lots of interesting characters years ago very rare to see any these days .Feel sorry for his wife ,she will def take second place to racing in his selfish life just like mine did before she got rid of me
What an honest comment, takes a proper man that
What is so selfish about working ?
@@MrDanallmanwhen you get married and have a family I've found out they want quality time with you ,I was like a donkey chasing the carrot it took over my life ,I gave them holidays all over the world ,new cars ,and I gave my wife very good house keeping money.but. they wanted love more than money and quality time with me .I ended up a slave to work and missed lots of time seeing them when they needed me there instead of being at work .I can see in this video alot of the old me,more interested in earning lots of money ,very selfish (I didn't see it for many years I just thought she was can ungrate ful nagging wife my drinking partners not friends all told me I'm was great as I gave them their needs like lending them money etc),the more rope she gave me the more the more I strangled myself.she was a good girl ,and I missed alot of time with my kids because I was chasing the carrot,they needed more love and time from me . Every ones got to work and make money but I can clearly see that this man like myself is chasing money ,and doesn't know when to stop. He's like me ,he thinks his family should be grateful and over the moon because he's bringing lots of money home from work I can see how this man is a workhorse and he's making plenty of money but wants more and more and more ,he's just like myself
He is mr tricky.
Good to see Gary Selby any one know if he’s still about!
Who is the old bookie at 28:05?
Forgotten his name but he traded as Morry Levy. Used to go racing a lot at this time. Things were changing and it was just before the internet took off in a big way - Betfair. Still a few Jewish bookies around in the late 90s (my fave was Jolly Joe) but now there's only one, that I know of. Being an on course bookie is the mug's game. Why bother laying out exes when you can lay horses at home on Betfair and/or arb. If the game was still any good, you'd see lots Jewish layers at the tracks.
Must of seen this 10 times
*have
Bazza crying when he loses.. take it on the chins big man..
When someone calls St Tropez Santropra best believe their rich 🤑 👍
Proper times these
Barry is doing so well he cant afford a new windscreen in his motor, look 2.35 to 3.00 mins.
They didnt see computers coming? The writing was on the wall even then...
The typing was on the keyboard ?
😢😢😢😢 I was heartbroken for Dennis,s young Son, he took a monkey 500 and dennis son dint check the price move .. even if he missed it giong into 16/1 from 20s he still would of lost big .. loved this thou and like dennis now 😊❤️
Greeting the late Barney Curley.
I go to the bookie offering the best price on the horse i want to back. Where he is stationed is irrelevant.
This is the funniest documentary ever. "Get your money out and start fucking gambling!"
i know its hard to teach an old dog new tricks , but youve had yourwell earned trackside time and with your odds staking knowlege you could be a ducthing master and get the best of both sides of the tote
Wants locking up for driving like that
They can’t lose long term playing to 115+ overrounds if they can play the game .
It is very easy for bookmakers to win. You'll get some races where every bar bozo will come rushing in at the last minute throwing tens of dollars on all sorts of runners and by definition nearly all of them are gonna come a gutzer. And they'll be taking stable money which is sometimes good and sometimes astray. They'll sometimes get hit by a move which turns out to be good. I know a bloke who recreationally went to the races and had a hundred on his surname namesake, and only because of that, but he was on it when it was right, and probably took a few hundred out of an on-course bookie in that single instance.
Are we really not talking about the gurning Albino at Ascot?
Diamond Geezer proper gentleman salt of the earth they don’t make them that Barry anymore.
He's a good winner.
Why would you go racing and not go to the on course bookies, you might as well sit at home
Could never win in those days. Even when I go racing very rarely use bookmaker . Well under betfair .
Always be a slave to the queens/kings head punters and bookies.
Do you think he bought that doorbell of Del Boy 🤣
"The Doorbell of Del boy" is that like a mythical weapon or a sacred charm? or did you mean "Off Del boy" which is also incorrect, possibly "From Del boy" Not sure.
Things evolve.... numbers drop as folk stay home for all sports. Culture and new profiteers.
Can someone explain the monkey on 20/1? Why did that matter the lad missing it what do they do ?
Odds can change/fluctuate near the start of a race and that horse must have been being backed everywhere and so the true Odds of that horse should have been shorter than 20/1 Barry didn't spot it in time to change his odds...the punter did and knew he was getting value at 20/1
His son, Patrick, missed the move in the ring leaving Barry with 20/1 on his board. It happens. It meant that Barry was stuck with the bet and couldn’t hedge any if it back.Incidentally, Patrick is now a corporate partner in a decent solicitors firm.
Respect - Are you still in the game Barry?
He’s about 83 now and still stands at Lingfield most meetings.
Thanks for the news - I wasn't aware if he was still in the game or not @@AnthonyWilliams-ew3wp
All the money he's got and wouldn't get that crack in the windscreen fixed ha! Only joking a star
Poor blokes had his pants down at Epsom 44:50 😂😂
Battle of wits.
Exactly what I thought. Up to the legislation of Betting Shops and before there were far more ways to spend the leisure pound a majority of THe Bookies were Jewish as you can, clearly, see in the earlier shots. Once the De-Mob money dried up and the game got quieter most were nowhere to be seen...
45 minute ouchhhh
Had an each way bet once with Barry in a 16 runner handicap when most of the ring were betting win only and I took the fractions as well for the extra value! He wasn't happy, swearing like a trooper, moaning and complaining as he gave me my ticket. Horse finished 5th of course! Great character.
Thats Barry if he has to pay you over 500 on a bad day he swears moans n pretends to be sick lol 😂
Feel sorry for his wife. Is not a wife is a private Chef that cooks him Egg + Chips at the precise time. Am gona. Pant 10 grand on a 2-1 one day and am gona do him.
I go to the racing for the actual racing, put my bets on in the morning online. Better odds, no rushing about trying to find the best price minutes before the off, and you have too many rick folk bothered about what frock they're wearing.
Couldn't do that, love the hustle and bustle of getting bet
Back when petrol was. 64 per litre
What year was this filmed plz?
1998..year France won World Cup.
Well, Barry said he had " waited for a pitch since 1970 which was 29 years ago !" so on that basis around 1999 , my friend :)
@@Isleofskye It's 1998 mate, as someone said below Barry has prices for the World Cup on his board.
I should have known. Backing France at home is the only time since 1981 that I have won decent money :)
I can’t understand a word but I am certain he’s speaking English.
Plan B won for woman who was shouting
Is he still alive
Yes, and kicking

It doesn't quite work like that ........
Alfred's real job when he i'nt dicken aroun' wif the batman
Royal Ascot - a parade for the rich
Crying poverty is usually a sign of wealth. Most bookies are always crying poverty.
Barry Dennis I would love to have taken him for 100k on some cup final or summit it's me and I Barry head to head 2 hourse race 1/1 or 10/11 ..go on my son that would have made him shake.l. o.l
did someone just walk up to a woman and pull her dress up?! i know 98 was the year of the woman as lad culture but fucking hell
Was Princess Diana with this guy?

Pre-exchanges I take it?
Jesus Christ 😂😂
Betting is really shit now bookies just rip people off and all the id checks now it’s had it now betting is shit
