OK guys.... for the 5th year (I think) it is time for the General Betting Christmas get together.
I know the discussions have deteriorated on here a little, but feel free to come out to this event – where I am sure we will have some lively discussion fuelled by a few drinks.
Date Dec 4th
Time 6:30 onwards
Venue TBC based on numbers.
(we could also do Sandown racing that day if enough people wanted)
Confirmed.
1) Bayes
2) Pumkinislsayer
3) The Magician

I'm tempted with that starting lineup.
But I think I will still bask in the sun somewhere else. |

A very impressive list of attendees thus far.
Seriously I would recommend to anyone in London that week to consider making it to this get together. You could very well learn something useful. |

I'd love to meet you all magician but it's a long, long way to come for a few hours in a pub. What I'd like is a betfair weekend (or any 2/3 days) where we all spend 1 or 2 nights in a hotel so we can have a decent meet up. Maybe build it around a 2 or 3 day meeting (at a course without a dress code).

The 4th is a Saturday , the busiest day in the gamblers working week

Your observation says quite a lot Coach.

Your observation says quite a lot Coach. _______________________________________ It says there are a lot of soccer games that day ! |
|
By:
Exactly.

By:
Explains why a lot of people perhaps do not feel inclined to attend.
Those that do attend are obviously either far better at time mgt., or leave it all to their pre set up bots, or are sensible enough to take some good time outs from full time gambling. But, it is an evening event after all. It all depends on when you have to leave home to get there I really suppose. |

By:
FAFH ,i only work a total of 32 hours (10 on a Saturday).
I realise how important time out is in this game , it just so happens all my time out is during mid week afternoons  |
|
By:
I'm agreeing with you btw.
I think that mid week or any particular day when there are the fewest sporting events on of real interest, would be a far more sensible time to have any type of function like this. |
|
By:
mid week will not be possible for us mere mortals who have a day job.. friday or saturday night is possible as long as there is sufficient advance notice...
come along coach and froggy's hair.. you can do your bets on phone? |
|
By:
Yeah I forgot about the mere mortals.
Sorry about that Ocean. Didn't think you were one ohf them I must admit. What's a mobile phone ? |

We'd better stop. We're hijacking an important thread.

2.22 Ayr 1000 Any other Plant, Is that based on the dress code rider or my reluctance to travel. Either way, I'll have a grand on Perth.  |

If we agree to wear Celtic shirts, that should make you feel like you have just popped down your local for a few pints, Feck..
C'mon Feck, who knows, post float we might not be on here chatting for too much longer! |

Muq, if you wore a Celtic shirt in my local you'd probably end up nailed to the bar
