Using masks to get on in shops

How much are you limited to and by who?

Nothing illegal about wearing a mask but I'd be surprised if you'd get served.

Difficult to see how they can refuse to pay.

Why can't you get someone else to place your bets?(preferably a machine player)

I'd guess they'd think you were about to rob them!

You sound fairly desperate to get on, to try that - are you restricted in all shops (different bookies too)? Must have done pretty well to get that!

The mask would be like an ID, unlikely that two people would be strange enough to place a bet wearing the same mask, so you should get paid out. You'd probably have to have a variety of masks though, in case they cottoned on. So, if you went into one shop wearing a Batman mask they would ring round, but if you had changed to a Del Boy mask by the time you hit the next shop, you could have what you want on.

Wigs normally do the trick. It doesn't have to be a good one either. You can pick them up quite cheaply as well.

I'm SP everywhere, and a machine player won't know what to do if the price changes between being given the slip and placing the bet.

Can a bookie refuse to pay out cash and insist on a cheque only? Can they refuse to payout before ID is shown?
