    Favourite/ least favourite courses

    That was one of the best things about racing in those days mate. We saw all our old favourites, Bregawn, Silver Buck, Night Nurse, Comedy Of Errors, Lanzarote etc etc etc run regularly and more to the point, all run in handicaps. Unlike a few of the "wrapped in cotton wool" merchants of today.

    Thats right mate. And some individual affiliates made some bloody good money years ago with their cuts.

    Favourite/ least favourite courses

    I love going to Market Rasen and have stayed close by when attending on quite a few occasions. But it is the worst track in the country for extending race distances and there is never a meeting that goes by without the advertised race distance being a million miles out (Not literally of course...

    If Carlsberg did bookmakers.......

    Well done to the people who set Oddschecker up i say. I do like to hear stories of other peoples good fortune and i think "fortune" is definitely the right word here. And it also tickles me when i read of occasions where, to me, it is obvious that some people (or companies) have far more...

    If Carlsberg did bookmakers.......

    It is owned by Bruin Capital who bought it from Flutter for around £155m. I remember reading something about the deal a few months ago and one thing stuck in my mind. So i've searched around and found the piece. In it, it says that Bruin thought that Flutter had underinvested in Oddschecker...

    If Carlsberg did bookmakers.......

    This day and age i reckon they only need to show the prices of three firms at the most. Because as we all know, as soon as Powers have gone up, the copy and pasters do their stuff and all of a sudden you have a row of about twenty firms all going the same price. It looks ridiculous and IS...

    Apparently, for your tenner a month you get - Unlimited grids - ??? Hasnt it been the usual suspects to the left hand side and the Mickey Mouse firms that nobody should touch with a bargepole to the centre and right. Unlimited tips - :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL: I'd rather have my testicles...

    If Carlsberg did bookmakers.......

    I dont either mate. Never have done, never will do. Never been a "member" if such a thing exists. Thee is nothing today for me so i didnt really have to check in on the ATR site yesterday but i did so about dozen times and it is more or less the same as Oddschecker so i will just use ATR...

    "Incognito mode" ? Do you mean wear my overcoat with the collar up and wear some dark glasses and try and blend in ??? And try not to speak until spoken to ??? Bear in mind that if i've not got my head buried in the form i am either gardening, cooking, cleaning or acting as a chauffeur...

    Needs sending back over hurdles. Slowed into far too many fences and clipped a few more.

    If Carlsberg did bookmakers.......

    Thats where the individuals own personal usage comes into play. For those who just look at the prices when putting their bets on and only look once or twice a day, there shouldnt be a problem. But for someone like myself, and many others like me, i am checking in from around 2.00 and at...

    If Carlsberg did bookmakers.......

    Good luck mate, fingers crossed. I very rarely go under 8/1 but the 15/2 was a couple of points bigger than i had put it in at so i had to take up their kind offer. As for Oddschecker, they can go and swivel now. I tried this morning to see if i could get on but i still got the same "no go"...

    Unsocial media i call it. I only used twitter but deactivated my account a few months ago. It was getting over-run by "experts" :LOL: We are all guessers mate. Each and every one of us. And anybody who thinks he's not a guesser or above a guesser is living in cloud cuckoo land. I guessed...

    If Carlsberg did bookmakers.......

    Yes. Ten pounds a month to view the price history and a few other totally worthless items. I would be amazed if anyone has taken them up on it.
