#BettingPeople: DAVID LOVELL

#BettingPeople: David Lovell, born into a respected and innovative bookmaking family, started life learning the odds with his father John, and started one of Wales’ first in-running suites, where fortunes were made before he became a full-time professional punter with runners countrywide until founding DragonBet with his brother James. Reticent to talk publicly for years, finally we have David Lovell in the #BettingPeople chair, speaking to Simon Nott.
