Violence in betting shops

Beatings Rapes and Murder all part and Parcel of the Job these days .

O'brien from Hills a blatant Liar absolutely Disgusting its Absolutely sickening to listen to him ,

"You can count the  the number of serious assaults on one hand over the past Decade" ,he should be immediately dismissed

he is either an Idiot or a Blatant Liar ..

Has now said ONE  serious Assault in 10 years OMG I cannot believe what I am listening to .

in my younger days I used to work in the bookies for about a year or so. Some of the sh1tholes I used to get sent to on some days I saw plenty of hardcore violence. No CCTV back then either, I doubt its as bad as that now.

can't be much violence in them nowadays - there's nobody in them

Managed for Years got out when the Evening racing arrived ,Shut them Down they dont lay a bet,Anyone wearing a Matching pair of shoes is not welcome ..

Re: violence I was never a Victim had a few Nutters in on Occasions, Inclding one Chap who would always arrive with a Bottle of  Scotch and expect me to have a Drink with him

These people playing the FOBT's are not punters not sure what they are tbh ..

The places are a scurge on the High Street ,The poor staff, little more than Machine

Minders ,Very sad   Females left on their own of an evening is a Disgrace to the

industry .

Government as usual to blame with its regulations that endanger workers.
If they allowed unlimited FOBTs per shop then the marginal single-manned bookie would close due to market forces.
