Peter McCormack
Peter McCormack has been passionate about punting for most of his life, with his teenage bedroom walls once lined with racetrack centrefolds. His betting approach became more structured in his 20s after discovering Don Scott’s The Winning Way. As he neared 40, Peter fulfilled a lifelong ambition by obtaining a country bookmaker’s licence, initially for fun, but it quickly turned into a full-time career spanning over two decades.
For the past four years, Peter has enjoyed working alongside his son, Scott, in a successful partnership. He remains optimistic about the future of on-course bookmaking, believing it can thrive with the continued support of race clubs and government. By offering great prices and excellent service, Peter is confident that racegoers will continue to engage with bookmakers as an essential part of the racecourse experience.
Peter McCormack competes in Betfair's Pros vs Bookies competition, held Wednesdays and Saturdays across the year.
