Everstowe Sports Betting, based in Suffolk Square between Chapelfield Road and Unthank Road have been here since the first day of Cheltenham this year. W offer Guranteed Early Prices on every race for cash, with no security department to go through. You'll only ever deal with knowlegable staff with a passion for racing. We're more than happy to discuss any offers you're after and price match antepost and sports markets for singles and doubles.
Times are hard for everybody about now and local businesses are getting harder to find. Our nearest competitor is a Coral's who lay dreadful prices and wouldn't even accept a £5ew lucky 15 from a converted customer over the weekend. It annoys me that the big 4 can offer no value and still mop up a decent client base.
Come down and see us and try it out for yourself, you might be pleasantly surprised!

Do you offer telephone betting services and take bets on all sports?
Report JackS • October 25, 2010 5:50 PM BST

If you are going to lay £5. e.w. Lucky's on bad each way races unlike your competitor you will have plenty of customers. Also odds on you will be none existant this time next year.
Good luck

Bushy I think it was.

Des - No Sale, just think we should be mopping up the in shop business with the poor service around the big 4, very disillusioned by the things they can get away with and keep a decent trade. Besides I like being busy!
Mailroad - We take bet's on all sports and offer telephone betting but can only do deposit accounts, unfortunately we don't have a debit card facility installed yet. Bit prehistoric I know!
JackS- We have taken £200 on bags dogs, I'm guessing it's Sheffield your after?! ;o)
Jimbo- What are you after? We'll match deposits or first bets, find a firms offer you're happy with and we'll match it.
Mr Mulligan - Wasn't bad odds races, it's 'to protect them from arbers' which doesn't make sense to me, if you think you've priced the market up correctly I see no problem laying the prices accordingly. There was no information, none were bad ew's i took the bet and it returned £12 for a 7/1 place.
Robinlace1- Well done mate, sounds like a good days work! Would have been nice 2 have that running up and have a little touch with u! No idea what happened to Bushy I never used his shop, havent heard the pub story at all but he's a silly boy if true. I just assumed there wasn't enough business that way, same as Slapp's. The closure of a few of the shops is actually what encouraged us to get in now, daft as that may sound, I think there'll always be an in shop business and I think common sense gamblers will always search for value. The best value is always going to be with an independent who can tailor your bet and give a bit here and there.
Thanks for the responses, very much appreciate any feedback.

No mate, Crayford, Oxford, Sittingbourne. If you will take £150-200 at BP's (And not start limiting stakes) I will have someone sort out a deposit account.

Good luck.

Who are you putting on for mate?

BF are obviously not worried about any competition you pose, or they would have presumably closed down this thread by now.
But I think it has a certain homespun charm to it.
Real punters putting real bets on with real, live, local bookies.
Just like the good old days eh?
