Event Details

Join EA Festival for a lunch-time talk with Jamie Reid, author of Monsieur X—nominated for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year. This gripping true story follows Patrice des Moutis, the French aristocrat who manipulated the nation’s state-run horse racing system for years. By exploiting loopholes, orchestrating syndicates, and applying advanced probability, he forced the government to repeatedly rewrite the rules—while continuing to win millions. The book blends thriller-style narrative with insider insights, ideal for general readers, racing fans, punters, and bettors seeking the story behind the odds.

About Jamie Reid:
Jamie Reid is a journalist and lifelong racing enthusiast, a regular contributor to the Financial Times’ How To Spend It, and has written for The Guardian, The Independent on Sunday, and various magazines. His previous books include A Licence to Print Money, Blown, and Doped: The Real Life Story of the 1960s Racehorse Doping Gang—winner of the 2013 William Hill Sports Book of the Year. Reid is an authority on gambling, horse racing history, and the cultural mythology surrounding sport.

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, EA Festival Limited generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through EA Festival Limited, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
