I have the attention span of a gnat. what has happened here,
Can the corps bar people-? Do they have to be to a minimum? Are they playing shifties with odds? |
|
By:
Yes, yes, yes

The odds for me on New South Wales races on the Centrebet website are now the same for me, whether I am logged in or not.
Peter V'landys had done a great job pulling the William Hill group into line. The two tier system is now gone. |

By:
Cheers, I will check them out. Only have Sportingbet left with them, but may look around if it is worth it. Do Will Hill have the same odds on their books, or are they just in charge of seperate "bookies"? I mean, are centrebet/sportingbet/tomwaterhouse all the same odds?

NVM. Just opened up Kembla Grange. Nothing changed for mine. Still about 25% worse on offer whilst logged in vs (v's for lets elope) "indicative" prices.

Has no effect whatsoever on me....
Remember the days (as we all do) where we would run up to a bookmakers stand waving fist fulls with 10 other mugs all wanting to get the last of the attractive odds... The bookie would say you.. you.. you ..ok that all!!! Can only think that with technology the 10 others is now 1000 others.... again with technology I would have thought they could lay off any unwanted bets anyway ... In any event BF has the best odds most the time anyway so ....Why go elsewhere ??? |

Thebas, this was in the 90's. Of course we all forget, while looking through our rose coloured glasses, that they usually only got down to about 114%
|
|
By:
yes 114% was great ...
Bill was ALWAYS first up with a market .. bout 5 mins or so after the previous race completed ... never any longer the rest of the rails usually followed before the up & down moves began my issue with robbie was not price or getting on in a long queue ... but bookie to punter behaviour he told me he was forced as an individual to be bound by the Rules Of Racing that was 3 months to the day almost before the Fine Cotton saga surfaced |
