Plus I see he was betting on head to heads on the Dogs which would lead me to think he was on the sharper side even if that was the first I'd seen of him.
A lot of professionals have compulsive tendencies.Comment -

#5An interesting moment in this video is when it is claimed he is giving so much action so he can get set for bigger money on the plays he really likes.
I'm sure it was more effective back in the day but that still has validity, better to try and bleed a book rather than gut them quickly.Comment -

#6Harry Findlay is a pro, but given his notoriety I'm sure he is allowed to bet into soft markets which us schmoes would get kicked from.

#7I don't know of any genuine professional punters who behave in the manner depicted in that video.
This is the ultimate consequence of his like:

I'm sure it's a bit of flash for the camera but he's obviously not a hard nosed pro grinding it out betting a quarter Kelly.
Goes without saying, if you go all in you're going to bust through your bankroll many times over. Even when he busts, I'm sure he has decent income as a celebrity punter and beard.
Video was just entertainment but those characters are great, no one wants to watch some nit grinding it out.Comment -

#8Maybe he had an edge with his approach... Who knows? But from the looks of it he seemed more like a lucky gambler rather than a professional.
Never heard of a professional going all in on a bet on a cup final with his whole life depending on that bet. Bookmakers probably loved and/or financed this video.Comment -

#9I think this guy still gambles but he's not a pro because he Bets horses that was the dead giveaway
He probably has a very small bankroll also
More gambling icon in the UK than a pro
I would think he doesn't have 25,000 pounds to his nameComment -

You couldn't be more wrong about wagering on horses though, Zeljko has done alright.Comment -

you didn't qualify your dumb statement
Betfair's useful but the real profits are to be made by getting on at early fixed odds with a bookie - if you can find one to take your bet!
So please go tell them all that we can't bet on racing. I'm sure they'll listen to you and reopen our accounts.Comment -

#20Harry hasn't learned his lesson. https://twitter.com/HarryFindlayPro. He's still calling himself a "professional punter"More like problem gambler extraordinaire. He's back having bets like £120k at 1/12 and a "small play" of £45k at 2/9. Something tells me the insolvency service are going to have another case very soon.

#21He seems like an interesting character.
Queer tagline to have on your twitter profile though! "Prompt payer of bills and debts.".Comment -

#23£10k/£70k PSG tonight. Football man insists they should be 14 on. This is a tweet from him on 8/21. What does "they should be 14 on" mean?Comment -

It seems that from the most recent tweets today, it wasn't actually Harry Findlay after all and it was somebody pretending to be him. Very convincing though.Comment -

#25When odds are less than even money in fractionals, it's called "Odds On"
So a -200 fave would be $1.50 decimal and in fractions either 1/2 or, 2/1 odds on, or 2s on.Comment -

They had their Norfolk Island licence revoked.
And because their owner had had an involvement with Citibet, no other Australian regulator would take them on.Comment
