Don't feed the trolls.

Agreed, but if Ladbrokes aren't able to offer anything new on the day of their glorious launch, then it doesn't augur well for the immediate future. The fact that they've virtually withdrawn from the cut and thrust of the fixed-odds market suggests that they are devoid of trading nous, and all...

You didn't mention millions, but if this new venture can't guarantee millions of pounds of new liquidity, then the venture is no more than a loss leader. Does anyone else feel that Ladbrokes can create an influx of new money, or even seed their own horseracing markets? I'd be gobsmacked if...

I would wager that they wouldn't have a clue how to do that on horseracing markets, so it won't be happening.

The notion that millions of pounds of exchange liquidity has been lying dormant because of customer loyalty to Ladbrokes is utterly risible. Has there been more than twenty quid matched on tomorrow's racing yet?

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Nobody gives a flying feck about the "skin" or the layout - this is just another door into Betdaq. It may benefit Ladbrokes to treat them as separate entities for accounting purposes, but from the point of view of the punter (that is, the only point of view which counts) there is absolutely...

Even Ladbrokes aren't stupid enough to operate 2 separate exchanges!

It's not integrated with Betdaq - it is Betdaq. Massive yawn.

I, for one, am all in favour of a thread in which the words "pish" and "poshos" are bandied about willy-nilly. More please.

You keep forgetting whether you're meant to be a clueless sheep or a stopwatch veteran. It's hard keeping track of false identities, isn't it?

This must have come as quite a shock to the gentleman bookie.

You'll be hoping for low sun with this dreadful lepper, Grassy. Makes Stormez look spring-heeled. :ninja:

If he's that well treated, what's he doing in inverted commas? :whistle:

You didn't factor in the ****-poor jockey. :mad:

Jumping fine, but he still has the most awkward head carriage, and that doesn't help a jockey trying to position him in a better race. He also seems dependant on dominating, which will be fine in minor graded company, but simply impossible in a race like the Arkle. Just my opinion, of course...

He'd be a million to get round at Cheltenham, never mind win. Huge engine, but a nutcase who will (imo) be better beating up his inferiors. He didn't wear blinkers, btw, but a hood, as he has done since his debut.

The beast he won on at Cheltenham won a point when Charlie rode as well, but looked nearly useless under other riders (hence the SP). He looks decent, and certainly doesn't lack confidence, or admirers. Would be more concerned about him keeping his feet on the ground than about his ability.

:lol:

Would this be the full list of yards by any chance: http://www.fromthestables.com/trainers.asp
