I wonder how many betting shop staff and online gambling site staff would know how many bets there are in a round robin and what the bet is?. I reckon in this day and age 10%.

Everyone who worked in the business before EPOS came in around the start of the millennium, nobody afterwards. As a bookie we rarely see them and the punters that do them are totally clueless as to how to settle them in my experience.

90% of them are as thick as two planks. Glorified till assistants. If the computers were taken off them, they wouldn`t be able to settle a bet. As for their knowledge of sport, it would make one laugh. It must be hard for the veteran settlers working alongside these new recruits.
