ahh the memories. Used to be a legendary forum. Some top tipsters on there - football, racing, and tennis in particular come to mind.

RIP :-(

god that was 8/9 years ago. the forum was good, the tool that was spamming it for the 1% drip system was just completely desperate though. If he would have maintained the site without the endless spam then it may have took off properly imo. some funny forumites though.

Ah...BoookieBusters, Fond Memories

Tremendous memories. I was part of the infamous 'Turnways Punting Posse' and was actually given a few quid by the site to write a blog from the 2002 French Open. We did the money on the first night though and I was hit with an iron bar and told to f*ck off by Carlos Moya.

Dave ??

are any of the legends still about, either on here or on that new forum you mentioned?

in particular,

Steve on the horse racing forum
Lawrence on the footie forum
and the likes of Huggy, blackcat, and Jimmy69 (he's on here somewhere isn't he?) on tennis forum


and of course we can't forget the legend that was Tony Quinlan.

Knew one of the BB team personally. Fantastic bloke from Glasgow with a great sense of humour & love of betting (particularly on the golf).

Jimmy, I thought I'd seen you around LOL

Alex, do you mean Joe (guy that ran the website) ?

He used to call himself Joe Jackson. Seemed a nice enough bloke!

Some stuff from the old site

Tony Quinlan is simply the webs best Premiership pundit.

The Broxman still hasn't spoken the word Celtic for almost three years and nothing looks like changing. He does however have an inside track on all things blue and continues to dazzle all and sundry.

Bertie Smart the bookmaker doesn't give a flying f*ck at a rolling doughnut for what anyone thinks of him as he's too busy filling his pockets from the mugs who inhabit his shops. more..

Psycho Willie is our resident security expert, but we use the word 'expert' in its loosest possible sense. The Crazy One is to subtlety what Richard Nixon was to the truth and says gratuitous violence is cool. more..

Rusty Pin is an enigma. Amazing betting skills allied to an insane lifestyle culminating in frequent treatment at the Essex Home for the Permanently Bewildered have left him thoroughly confused. more..

Uncle Arfur is our 'agony uncle' and that just about sums up his betting skills, pure agony. Nevertheless he has an unrivalled knack for fixing disputes between gamblers and bookies. more..

Axeman. Poor old axe has the unenviable task of trying to hold all the threads together. He provides the bail money, fixes broken things, and generally tries to keep everyone happy.
