gamble,
I still live in Basingstoke, I am pursuing other interests nowadays, but I am still keen on racing and go when I can – Salisbury and Windsor mostly.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Err….I said he was invisible if you care to take a look.
It would be kinda nice to be accepted – we could all then move on.
This interrogation is quite entertaining but, even though it is not of my making, it makes Me look like an attention-seeking self-publicist….and that’s just not me.
Not any more, anyway.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Basingstoke Town FC, of course.
No, not on there to this day – lots of history there, sadly.
Mostly my own fault – as usual.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I doubt googling would provide the answer – maybe the truth is somewhat more prosaic….I really AM Ian Davies.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Ah, one I can answer!
Wagamama – and, at the time I moved there (2002), it was probably the most bohemian restaurant in the town.
Things have got better since, thankfully!
Yes, I confess I created the invisible Harvey – I was working 100-hour weeks (14 hours a day, seven days a week) at the time so I needed a little forum insanity to keep me sane.
If that makes sense!

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I used my initiative to create ”Harvey” to keep you entertained on the Flutter forum between races.
You were, after all, the doyen of that old Flutter forum, which I think was on ”World crossing.”
How times change.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Good point, but though it may look like after timing, I don’t think ANY horse should ever be single-figure odds for The Derby after winning a maiden as a 2yo.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"gamble, remember ”harvey” from the old Flutter forum?
Remember our chat on the phone?
Wish I remember it better, actually – but I can only recall where I was sat in Flutter’s offices at the time, sadly.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Dungheap – there’s another blast from the past.
We met for a curry in Wolverhampton on the day I went to Central TV to participate in the making of a documentary entitled ‘Scam.’

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Well, I am starting to think it is truly pointless for me to try to convince people of the truth – I am Ian Davies.
But not to worry.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"I’ve only just noticed this thread.
I am honestly trying really hard to find a way of saying the following that is not offensive – it was all a long time ago, a lot has happened before and since and those conversation were sadly not so important to me that I committed them all to memory.
Maybe I am the one at fault for that?
The funny thing is, I reappear here having recalled being none too popular in the past only to find I am elevated to such legend status now that I am apparently insulting my memory by simply saying I am me?
You’re right, gamble, we only spoke on the phone the once, and we never met in person.
But I cannot remember all that stuff you’re asking me.
The best I can do is say Glenn dubbed it The Jolly Green Giant and you had a thing about how decimal odds should not include the stake – i.e. 7/4 should be expressed as 1.75, not 2.75 and 4/5 should be 0.8, not 1.8
I am ashamed of myself for even remembering THAT.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Imagine what racing would look like without the funding from the Levy and betting operator sponsorship, and imagine the atmosphere at racecourses (and crowds) without bookmakers or a Tote and there you have your answer.
Racecourses would be deserted bar the entourages of the owners, trainers and jockeys plus a handful of racing purists.
