Welcome to the first of what will hopefully be a long-running series 'Simon Nott Zooms In' where I catch up with people that I have had the pleasure of meeting over the past few years. They aren't interviews, just informal chats. They will be predominantly betting related. In part one I speak to professional punter Brett Lloyd, currently taking a sabbatical in Thailand, living the professional punting dream. Here are the Harness Racing dates he talks about if you fancy dipping your toe in.

*I have an affiliate deal with The DragonBet boys who Brett talks about in the interview. James Lovell and his equally handsome but shadow lurking brother David are bookmakers and businessmen in no particular order. They'll smile at you and make happy videos from the racecourses of Wales and beyond, but they are wolves or should I say fire breathing reptiles in sheep's clothing. They may seem like relatively new kids on the block but these guys heave learned their trade from one of the best, their on-course bookmaking father John. The Lovell brothers have been taking on the clever punters in all weathers for decades, do not underestimate them when you wade in. Mind you, if you can land one on their soft underbelly it's going to hurt. They are so confident, they are offering 'free' money for you to have a go at beating them, make them pay. *

                           I'd recommend give them a spin if you fancy taking them on. Bet £20 get £20 offer below.
