Victor Chandler - 60 Years of Pioneering Spirit.
The Victor Chandler business celebrates its 60th anniversary
this year and, with that in mind, it seems a relevant time to
look back at how the business has grown into the international
betting and gaming business that it is today.
The story began back in 1925 when Victor's grandfather, William,
opened up Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium, still a popular
sporting venue owned by the Chandler family today. However, it
was not until 1946 that Victor Chandler senior created the
company as we know it now.
As soon as betting shops were made legal under the 1963
betting, gaming and lotteries act, Victor Chandler began to
build up his own retail estate, taking bets in various locations
across the south-east of England. It is safe to say that betting
shops in 1963 were a far cry from the luxurious betting lounges
that Victor operates today.
What has remained constant over the 60 years, is the pioneering
spirit, commitment to technology and a willingness to satisfy
the customer, qualities that so embody Victor Chandler and his
business.
It is no coincidence
that Victor is known as "The Gentleman Bookmaker". He
hates to refuse anyone a bet and as the racing journalist and
Channel 4 presenter, Alastair Down, once wrote "he is the
acceptable face of bookmaking. All right, he is there to part
you from your money, but you get a straight deal, a civilised
relationship and a sense of humour that reminds you that this
game is meant to be fun."
Within this site you'll find a massive array of betting and
gaming opportunities on all major sports including football,
horse racing, golf, greyhound racing, rugby, cricket, snooker,
NFL, NHL, NBA, college football and baseball.
