Making over £1 million from betting is enough to grab anyone's attention. The real story, though, is how my guest in Episode 105, Harry, got there.

In this episode, Harry lifts the lid on two decades of professional betting, from exploiting early Betfair markets and building successful betting syndicates, to finding value on today's betting exchanges, managing variance, surviving losing years and continually adapting as betting markets have evolved. He also explains why exchanges now form the backbone of his betting, how he identifies inflated prices, and the practical challenges of funding accounts in an era of affordability checks.

If you've ever wondered what separates long term winning bettors from everyone else, this is an honest and fascinating insight into the mindset, discipline and decision making required to stay ahead.
