John Done, no relation to Fred but they are from the same neck of the woods, contacted me after he'd made the decision to ditch his proper job and go punting first time. A brave move I think you'll agree. In this Zooms-In #18 he talks about his new 'career' though he doesn't like the term 'Professional Punter', his strategies and hopes for his future as a full time punter. Over to you John.

Julian is a lovely fella, always charming, smiling and happy. He's often seen around Plumpton where he's good enough to sponsor, he's very affable and generous. That's because he's got all the money! How many horses have you got? Julian has got loads and they win big pots at the top courses. Now it's all very Good that our hero puts something back into the game, but he Wins too. Julian is one of those benevolent bookmakers that will give his punters all sorts of compensation when they do their dough to ease their pain in losing. He might be all smiley but if you get four up in a Yankee or Lucky 15 and he's got to pull up five or six figures that's going to sting, what would be better than knowing Julian is gazing through tear filled eyes into an empty hod as you are counting your readies. Nothing, is the answer you are looking for, especially as they are offering a ' £25 money back as a free bet deal if you have a bad start - click below to fill your boots.

*So, Goodwin is today's bookmaking suggestion as we plough forward in our quest to beat the bookmakers. Bet with the independents who will seriously know about it if they have a bad day. This will make you feel even better, I only cop from this if you lose so if you do cop a good Lucky 15 or Footie accumulator up, that's my commission kyboshed too!  Good Luck. *
