That said, it hasn’t stopped them from growing a big Asian customer base thanks to the Asian handicap betting opportunities which are available.

Background
The story began back in 1925 when Victor's grandfather, William, opened up Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium. However, it was not until 1946 that Victor Chandler senior created the company as we know it now. The operation is now run by his son, another Victor Chandler, and this bookmaker has developed a reputation for honesty, integrity and a willingness to accommodate high-stakes customers. Based in Gibraltar, They have been online since 1994 and were the first UK bookmaker to offer customers tax-free betting.
It is no coincidence that Victor is known as "The Gentleman Bookmaker". He hates to refuse anyone a bet and the firm regularly bend over backwards to offer customers extra value such as an extra place on the Grand National and enhanced odds on particular horses or football teams.
