I commenced betting off-course in 1975 from my base in East Leake, close to the market town of Loughborough, and continued until 16th November 2014.

My license to accept your bets was courtesy of the UK Gambling Commission.

Over the years I established a substantial telephone betting business, renowned for high standards of customer care and personal service. Each of my customers was known to me by their name, you were never just a "number" with Rob The Bookie.

In 1994 I was one of the first bookmakers to computerize my bet settling and client account systems – using the innovative "Betsprint" software - thus enabling me to offer my customers an unrivalled degree of accuracy and security, together with a fully itemised statement.

I offered:-

• Monthly discounts on losing balances. 
  
  
• Best Odds Guaranteed on your singles up to £100 per selection on all UK and Irish racing, except Dundalk. 
  
  
• Fifth place on each-way singles in handicaps of more than 22 runners.
  
  
• Payment on singles up to £100 when your horse was disqualified for a race riding transgression. 
  
  
• The choice and value only an Independent Bookmaker could offer.
  
  
• Almost 40 years of British expertise.
  
  
• Based in the United Kingdom and regulated by the UK authorities and paying UK taxes.
  
  
• Fast, expert and friendly, individual service. 
  
  
• Accurate and confidential statements.

All in all - The very best of the latest technology, together with professional and truly personal service only an independent bookmaker could offer.
