And on that note, this just shows how ridiculous it has become these days. I called into a Betfred shop around 10.00 this morning and as i walked past the counter one of the staff asked, "Dont i know you from somewhere. Were you in our Middlesbrough shop yesterday " ? So i told her that i had...

And i totally agree. I seem to think we are arguing the same point here. I dont know how they can fix it. The real question is, do they want to fix it ! From nearly 10,000 shops 8-10 years ago, i think we are down to less than 6,000 now. And it will keep falling. The point i was trying to...

The theme of the posts has been about how the firms can move their shop business forward and not really about moaning about the fact that people cant get on. That has been done to death over the years and will never change. Shop business is down and shop numbers are down and that will continue...

The aim of the "bookmakers" these days should be to try and tempt punters back into the shops. But since the Budget, the silence has been deafening. There must be many ways to coax them back thru offers, promotions etc that will boost turnover and in turn profits. One they could try, and this...

On a slightly different note, the answer to the OP is NO, there is not and also NO, there never will be any more ! The "bookmakers" are squealing about how much money it is gonna cost them because of the near doubling of the remote gaming duty but rather than sit down and think of POSITIVE ways...

I told the story on here just a few weeks ago about when i called in a Hills shop (i cant get on online) one Sunday when they were betting really early on a few races for the following day. I was told that i couldnt have the price showing on the website because the online business was separate...

The Haslam pair in the Sedgefield 1.33 race tomorrow need keeping an eye on.

:D They lived happily ever after. As for JP's boys. I reckon they will get by in life but they were truly miffed that morning. They didnt just ask who had backed the horse, they DEMANDED to know. But of course, a) client confidentiality and b) its none of their damn business !!!!! :)

:) The mind boggles. I doubt its one of the ones i know. He came to our office one day and i was lucky enough to be volunteered to show him round and then make him a cuppa after which we had a half hour chat. Or should i say, he talked and i listened. And very entertaining too. I know we...

Exactly !! And you know whats running. What the going is. What the weather is like etc etc. It seems as though as the years go by, more and more people are jumping on the "Lets all start talking about the Cheltenham Festival around August/September time". As if they are doing something...

Spot on mate. And i have done a piece about this in the past although i do think it was on my previous forum. Take the Tingle Creek for instance. It is a great race in its own right celebrating one of the most entertaining two mile chasers i have ever seen. And the race itself has thrown up...

And i would listen to you if you did one mate. And the simple reason is - i/we would be hearing something different. And more to the point, if you did a few of them, it would no doubt be different every time. Compare that to the oh so boring gravy train riders that hog the screens these days...

I 100% agree with Dannys 9.33 post. There are a thousand and one people/pundits/"experts":lolup:/podcasters talking about Cheltenham and it is as boring as f**k !!!!! The time to start thinking about Cheltenham festival bets, for me, is on the Sunday before the first day when the first of the...

Apologies for being pedantic and a smart arse (especially seeing as that role is already spoken for) but i think you will find it is now KC YFUSA . Anyway, i'm QC !!!!!!!!! :)

You and me together mate. In this day and age, and you will know far more than me about the dangers of hackers, cyber crime etc, i do not trust ANYONE when it comes to giving out personal information. I've actually been stopped twice this morning by people wanting me to sign up to a Dogs trust...

I wouldnt dream of even trying to open an account with any of the aforementioned "firms". I've seen many "fly by night" firms appear on Oddschecker only to disappear again before too long. And then replaced by other chancers. Its bad enough trying to deal with the "reputable" firms (and i...

I have to admit that i could never have a bet with any of those fly by night firms (i cant call them bookmakers) and i would never even open an account and give them my details. it seems as though there are new ones appearing every day in the grids on Oddschecker and its probably only a matter...

:) Yes, i noticed that too.

I can recall a few races over the years where the advertised distance has been meaningless. But the difference with Market Rasen is that they do it EVERY race, EVERY meeting. I recall doing a few races there over the past few years where the distance have been extended by over 300yds. And we...

I'm not going to do this every time there is a meeting on at Rasen but it is the worst track in the country for not racing over the advertised distances and i thought i would just inform people of the changes for tomorrow. Then i will leave it to your good selves to check the changes. The extra...
