From the Publisher:
This is the follow-up to "Ripping Gambling Yarns" - a further collection of 25 humorous stories from the "Racing Post's" Special Projects Manager recalling the days before betting shops when betting off-course was illegal. These tales cover the author's experiences in backroom betting, FA Cup finals, election fever, the Derby, mobsters at the dogs and many more.
