"irish bookies offices are packed every day, but they will take a bet"
I believe they behave like traditional bookies, and do not have fobts either. I'd go into the bookies if they were not fishing for personal info and betting habits eg types of bets and frequency, id before withdrawal, etc. Also, the fobt addicts, not keen being in their company just in case. |

How the betting scenario that has evolved with the bookmakers on horses and greyhounds hasn't become a major known issue is beyond me,money/favours have to be involved in the burying of such a disgraceful scenario.
