Probably your best bet (pardon the pun), would be to go along to a meeting and talk to one of the on course bookies themselves. One of them is bound to give you info on what you need to know.
Spend a few days following what they do and try and pick up what/not to do.
I would imagine it would be a tough profession to get into as most bookies pass on their profession to their sons/daughters.
Also you would need a bit of cash to lay the punters - if you can't offer them their bet they will avoid you.

Fairyhouse and Leopardstown have meetings this week.

Good Luck.

I thought the numbers of pitches on track are limited and generally passed between generations.

To buy one you would need a lot of capital.
