How long can the bookies last until they go under?

Hadn't thought of that. You'd ASSUME there would be some sort of shielded account for your funds but ..

I think BF have belts and braces but these are unusual times

I worry about their future as much as they worried about my future.

BetFred can go....I would push them over cliff edge if I could.

yeh me too, they have been allowed to cherry pick customers (victims) for too long .
It was mainly just a thread to see if anybody had any idea of how long they could go without any pro sport being played
Also a warning for people to be careful how much they are holding in their accounts

CS, it's boring without any cricket isn't it!

Yep I love cricket and I love cricket trading,  I hate my life at moment but as long as this doesn't extend over 6 month I'll be OK....plenty worse off.

Yep everything has to be put into perspective
Imagine being in an African country right now or one of those Syrian refugee camps with no running water.
They are literally tinderboxes waiting to explode

Just look at Ecuador. The numbers from Europe and the US are horrendous (with top medical care), once this hits 3rd countries it's going to be catastrophic

jucel, funny you mentioning syria now, was thinking about it few mins ago, allegedly a hell hole , yet only 1 confirmed case of corona up to a few days ago, ( could that germ warfare that the west accuse assad of few months back , be corona ,( same symptoms), and whats happening for all these isis hostage camps , and the calais border lot

One thing the 'sh!thole countries' have going for them is that by there nature they have a much younger population....and its still really hard to tell how much difference good medical care will actually make....could just be the case of either your body can fight off the virus or not, no matter how much quality care you are given. Won't know the answers until the dust settles and all the figures are compared. Could even be big differences just based on race.

I think it's more like don't test don't tell.
There are diseases galore in those places and dead people will just be burnt Asap

i think betfred was one of the worst bookmakers to keep your money in as it had the lowest protection,betfair had the highest protection,there was a list on the horseracing forum
