Never Back Losers is a 1961 British 'B'[1] crime film directed by Robert Tronson and starring Jack Hedley, Jacqueline Ellis and Patrick Magee.

Jim Matthews, a shrewd insurance investigator, follows up the company's suspicion of foul play and finds himself deep in a web of gambling and corruption surrounding the racetrack.

Racing scenes occur only at the start and close of the story, which is otherwise unfolded with quiet slickness within betting circles and night-clubs.

Jack Hedley has quite a way with him as Jim, Jacqueline Ellis is a pert Marion, and Patrick Magee and Harry Locke keep one guessing as Lucky Ben and Burnside.

Night clubs scenes relieve the tension, the horse races exhilarate and what few loose strings there are are firmly tied at the finish.
