‘Skint Mob – Tales From The Betting Ring’
NOMINATED BRITISH SPORTS BOOKS AWARDS 2014
Author: Simon Nott
IBSN 9780992755409
Genre: Non Fiction
Subject: Horseracing Bookmaking Racecourses

Skint Mob! revolves around the betting rings of UK racecourses from Aintree to Newton Abbot via point to points and the odd nip into a betting shop. The author uses his own experiences working for bookmakers since the late 1980s as a vehicle to bring to life the colour and characters of that most vibrant and exciting of habitats. Add a liberal sprinkling of humour and you have a must-read for all fans of UK racing and its unique atmosphere. 

Simon Nott is from Tiverton in Devon, left school with virtually no qualifications then embarked on some mind-numbing jobs before a stint in the Army. On his return he started working with on-course bookmakers in the betting rings of the South-West and has continued to do so for three decades in various capacities. He has now been a racecourse regular for 30 years and is an internationally published freelance writer on both racing and music.

‘Skint Mob – Tales From The Betting Ring’ is a humorous and, at times, thoughtful look at Simon’s journeys around the betting rings of the UK. The author has a real flair for storytelling, bringing the characters to life with clarity and good humour. His great observations and anecdotes of the wonderful (and not so wonderful) characters are heart-warming and witty and make the personalities spring from the page. Simon makes the stories even funnier when he delivers them in a ‘matter of fact’ way that makes his adventures truly entertaining. Simon is an astute observer and a genuine wit.
