8.1m views on his documentary on his pinned tweet. Must bring in a few quid that? I actually think his content is mildly addictive, I like seeing the betting ring. He clearly backs hype horses, probably reads racing post spotlight for tips. The only annoying thing for me is seeing an ever increasing band of young lads simping to him, not only on the courses but if anyone says anything on social media :lol:

My week punting at The Royal Ascot Meeting and elsewhere:

Tuesday: - £1250
Wednesday: - £2200
Thursday: +£6500 (Major ante-post bet on Kyprios at 2/1)
Friday: - £8,000
Saturday: + £11,375 (Big bet at Limerick)
But only the losses were blogged, not the wins. No evidence the winners were actually ever placed.

This isn't going to end well. Not sure what the game plan is here.

Don't mind his content but looks like he's had a really rough week and giving tomorrow a miss, who funds him?

"Jack, come back, come back" has to be the best video he's ever done, tbf he's probably recouped all his losses through the money he's made from engagements on twitter

I think this is where engagement and being an 'influencer' crosses the line to bad content.

The difference between trying to be well known and leveraging that to making money and having a gambling problem is fully on display here.

Any old fool can pretend to get excited and lump on a horse. Making money from that and / or enjoy the racing is a completely different thing.

It just doesn't feel responsible to me. It's like a parkour athlete killing themselves by pushing things a bit too far.

Basher Watts's you-tube videos are well done.

More nuance with syndicate horse ownership and punting exploits included.

I had to block him this week as his rubbish kept popping up but didn't he place 4k on the last? I doubt he will make even 1/100th of just that back from x.

He's probably got a big bookie and/or affiliate deal as well?

I know he is doing it all for engagement, but I do worry it's a perfect advert for why you need strict limits on gambling.

I see Racing Blogger (Stephen Power) has done a documentary on himself :lol:

I wont put a link in there, but you can find it on YouTube if you want.

It's starts with an eponymous opening sequence and the lines: -

"I am the greatest racing influencer in the history of the modern era. Legend, racing blogger and social media."
Humility a foreign word it seems. I know a few peeps like that. Sadly.
