#BettingPeople: VICTOR CHANDLER: Victor Chandler is the third in line of a bookmaking dynasty. He inherited his father’s business aged just shy of 23 when he passed away. He did so despite not being able to work those prime pitches he left, instead embarking on a career on the rails. It didn’t take long for Victor to forge a fearless reputation as a bookmaker but also one that liked to punt too. The Victor Chandler brand grew rapidly throughout the 1980’s taking on the biggest names in the betting ring, before growing to a brand that spread globally. This is his story, as told to Simon Nott from the comfort of (one of his) own homes. Meeting Victor Chandler with Simon Nott.
