In Zooms-In #19 I talk to Darran Pearce, a successful punter and tipster who specialises betting on Non-League Football, Hunter Chases and Australian Jumps and dive deep into the world of non-league football betting and horse racing, including UK hunter chases and Australian jump racing. Darran shares how he specialises in betting on non-league UK football, discusses his passion for hunter chases and National Hunt racing, and explains how he gets his money down in a competitive betting environment. He also talks about the challenges of becoming a full-time professional punter and why he’s chosen a different path despite his long-term success. You’ll hear how he gives out his selections, his thoughts on the big flat meetings like Royal Ascot, and what it takes to be a successful sports bettor in niche markets.

*So, Bet Goodwin and Star Sports are today's bookmaking suggestions 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. *
