Steve Walters
Steve Walters has been immersed in racing and betting his entire life, growing up on a 15-acre property where his father trained greyhounds and later standardbred pacers. Alongside his two brothers, Steve developed a love for the sport, working their father's horses on a homemade track. In his late teens, Steve began as a bookie’s clerk, experiencing the pre-digital era of bustling bookmaker rings. At 35, he obtained his own licence in Tasmania, which he has held ever since.
Known for his willingness to take on punters, Steve thrives in the ever-evolving betting landscape, with Betfair SP as his trusted safety net. He has supported grassroots harness racing for years and values the strong friendships he’s formed along the way. A keen Betfair player from the platform’s inception, Steve believes in-play technology is the future of betting and encourages punters to enjoy the thrill of trackside action and banter with local bookies.
Steve competes in Betfair's Pros vs Bookies competition, held Wednesdays and Saturdays across the year.
