The Remarkable Story of The Man Who Lives to Gamble. Every day of his adult life, Harry Findlay has gambled. He earned a reputation for being one of the world's most celebrated betters at the same time as he owned a horse that won Britain's biggest hurdle race, a greyhound that became an Irish folk hero, and earned a fortune from the billion dollar Asian Football Handicap. In the gambling fraternity, Harry earned legendary status. He says he has been skint hundreds of times, he has won 25 million pounds and lost the same amount. Fearless and formidable, bullish and bombastic, no one in the gambling game can match his style and seismic impact.
