The Other Side: TopSport podcast

We’re all punters. And we speak to a lot of other punters. On The Other Side TopSport podcast series we jump the fence and speak with Tristan Merlehan, CEO at TopSport, to get an insight into modern-day bookmaking.

Tristan takes us through how a modern corporate bookmaker operates, the issues they face, and how changes in racing and sport impact the business.

Have you got a question for Tristan about anything we’ve discussed, or anything else related to bookmaking? Just get in touch with us and we’ll ask him on the next episode.
