Betting and online gambling staff.

good clue

My money would be on less than 10%. Last year in a Hills shop I asked the manager what price New England to win the Superbowl? He asked me what time is it running?

Even 15 years they were struggling once had £100 on a dog @ EVS and watched the counter person use the OTT machine.

Was it a dead heat

10 years ago I asked for a price on Blackburn v some European team...she said what race?

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.

One year I overheard a cashier talk about the Grand National being run at Anfield.

If punters have contempt for betting staff, think how much contempt they must have for gamblers who throw their money away to pay their wages.

FOBT punters get treat very well horsey people not so much,from my times of doing the shops early doors have experienced the changes in attitudes that comes with the realisation that you only bet on racing and aren't a complete mug.

I have absolutely nil contempt whatsoever for betting shop staff, quite the reverse in fact and if I manage to get a decent placepot up I'll always give them a tenner for a drink. If you don't train them, you can't blame them.

The giving of tips when having a decent return was always something I did as a rule and was part of trying to keep shop staff onside.

Always used to tip after a lumpy but they never hesitated to administer the bum's rush when Mr Deal or No Deal told them to.

They struggle to remember their own name, let alone what colour they're supposed to be painting their nails whilst watching neighbours.

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.
