Funny you should suggest that amount jed. I once had someone wanting 50 quid on Watford to be relegated from the Prem but they were playing in the lunchtime game on Saturday and had kicked off so I had to get authorisation to take the bet. They were 1/12 to go down so I assumed it would be a formality. I was told we could only offer him £25. I would've been too embarrassed to tell him so I took the 50 anyway. I'm a rebel, me.

mik i used to take loads of prop bets under the banner of Coral's policy that 'The manager is able to write off any costs up to £50' No one ever pulled me up for it in 5 years either!
as for the kid boxing bet, as he was an A grade customer, he was allowed to go up to £50 ;) |

Oh, I flouted it all the time. Was just making the point that my stupid manager wanted to restrict a bet with a liability of £4 and change.

i liked that about Corals though, when i joined they actually extended you some trust (lads might have sacked you for that - really!) and as long as you weren't taking the pish, you could run your shop pretty much how you liked. A lot of the reason I quit was because after the gambling act came in, they tried to make them like Subway where every one you visit is practically identical. I hated the hoops you had to jump through but i never blamed the company for that, more the legislation.

Dave,
I'm not that fat, but compared to me, you're slim. I got the hair right, Did I get your height right? You can blame 'Lance Percival' on Nick. And I'm not washing yer Jag Neither am I. Serbians - £7. |

And while I'm here, who's the wag who signed me up for emails from the Conservative Party.
I've had 4 begging letters in a week, and now they want me to donate £25 so I can become the proud owner of a Tory mug and a fridge magnet. . http://i58.tinypic.com/2ut486x.jpg FFS. |
