Just heard what you said tonight re restricting accounts.
"Well all accounts are looked at individually, and its like the bookmaking industry has gone in recent years is, I'm not a fan of it ...but if you are a specialist you are going to struggle to get on, you know the ideal customer from all the bookmakers would say we want the guy who is betting at henlow. hove, have a go on thefootball, the tennis, if you are just a specialist you are going to struggle to get on... that is just how it is .. you could have five bets and five losers but people are going to look at your account and say its just a matter of time before this guy hits the front , and its tough and its very frustrating...I was restricted tonight to £2.50 on Maximus at 5/1"
So you are not a fan of it , but you work for a bookmaker and appear on a bookmakers t v channel ? Go and have a good long look in the mirror .... any gravy down that shirt ?

Good to know the spirit of the Nazi concentration camp commandants is still alive and kicking at the R P

what he basically said were just looking for mugs to bet with us, if you got half idea no chance
Why is everyone having a go at someone just cos he told the truth. It's hardly gravy train stuff, he still needs to make a living, I thought fair play to him for pointing out the frustration that a lot of punters experience, I cant believe he spoke about it to enhance his career prospects.
going with a mate to sittingbourne dog sales on tuesday
but unlikely to buy anything unless i get very very interested
one reason is having paid for mutley wont be able to back him
without getting hassle

Fair play to him, he has gone up in my estimation. Never heard a bookmaker representative be so open and honest about the situation.
He pays his bills by working for a bookmaking firm and represents them on the show. I would hope his honesty doesn't get him in trouble with his employers.
I would have thought `gravy train' would be way more apt to the racing post editorial staff.
As the sport sinks to greater depths almost by the week the lack of serious critical comment
or investigate rigour is truly shocking. Last Mondays article by Mr Donaldson regarding the sittigbourne/trainers championship debacle was the most cringe inducing piece of journalism I have ever read on any sport.
`Participation is not compulsary, and the three all had their valid reasons' - He obviously thinks that Mr Lister OBE (!) not realising that Sittingbourne is easier to get to by road from Newark than Wimbledon is a perfectly acceptable reason to pull out of `the sports equivalent of the champions league finals'
Apparantly, Lister (Real Madrid), Rosney (Man United) and Rab (Chelsea) pulling out cast a `slight shadow over Sittingbourne as a venue' and he `shared in the disappoinment' of them pulling out `to a degree' lololol. Sounds like a decent % of his mind was quite happy that 3 of the top 6 trainers pulled out.
The final paragraph explained that the 3 additional trainers would `ensure it is business as usual for a night which is the perfect showcase for our sport'.
You really couldn't make it up. If this is the showcase of the sport and only half of the field bother turning up then it really is lights out time!!! No comment on the need for proper leadership on the subject from the GBGB/trainers association or hard probing of the 3 trainers reasons for not bothering to turn up.
The situation sums up why the sport really is a complete amateurish mess but according to the rp's man on the spot it is just business as usual.

it ain't a sport over there anymore ... its a pantomime

Not a decent or honorable person among the whole staff
Its difficult Deptford and I think harsh to make personal judgements. I am just very disappointed by the rp's lack of comment on these important matters. They could be a driving force for change and progress but seem incapable of critical comment because of their financial need from bookmakers and cosy relationship with every trainer/owner.
The only trainer/owner who they seem to have an agenda against is the one most vocal about the leeching bookmaking industry and spineless gbgb. And the one who committed serious time and effort to try and save walthamstow stadium. He is a doer. The bookmakers/gbgb/rp are status quo, everything will be alright, apathetic takers.
I have never met P Donaldson but he appears a very likeable greyhound enthusiast. However, unless he had the mother of all hangovers and had to do that article in 4 minutes flat he clearly should not be writing in the press about the sport. The lack of rational thought or probing and general apathy on an important subject within a sport that has been heading for the abyss for a long time is stunning.

Exactly Mullah
The game needs a good kick up the @rse.....get Barry Hearn in

^^ The objective is for the sport to be in decline - the ONLY agenda now is the maximisation of bookmaker revenues through their complete control of the product...
some excellent points here
it is the lack of rational thought that gauls
it was a sport 400 years ago
it will always be a sport
its shelf life as a "product" is doomed

Can't see Barry Hearn doing much with greyhound racing even if he tried
People say yer he turned around the darts
But the main thing the darts has for it is you can be an idiot hold a card up with some writing on it and get on TV
Greyhound racing can't offer this

could get Hazel O Sullivan, Daniella Alfree, Jess Impiazzi, Sammi Marsh, Nicola Cowell and Nicola Moriarty to lead the dogs up - sure that would get a few more perverted horndogs to go racing
Barry Hearn gets things done and everything he touches turns to gold.....turned around the snooker aswell and they don't hold up cards.......what qualities do those in charge have that can push the game forward , what are their track records in controlling and promoting a sport to become successful ?
game is finished....Towcester ffs , gaff in the middle of nowhere with easy access for their trainers.....punters pay the wages and if there aren't any punters you haven't got a business....will be gone unless they sell the product online....

Those in charge are former bookmaking industry henchmen of some stature - there's no agenda whatsoever for the long term health of the sport other than as a means to generate additional betting revenue for the bookmakers who control the industry from top to bottom.
Don't expect the media to help - they all work for them...

not every1 happy with hearn in snooker mate, he's facked a lot of things up imo...been to york every year bar 1 that the uk has been there let me tell you 1st to 6, the 128 format and open viewing in venues is a joke from a spectator point of view
some good things though...a few new faces at venues etc
I don't think hearn has brought many new fans to snooker since he got involved, just turned a few loyal old school off the game

Welsh Open: Ronnie O'Sullivan likens venue to 'shopping mall'
The new venue for the Welsh Open is like a "shopping mall", according to defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan.
The Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff hosts the 10-table event for the first time since 2003 and O'Sullivan criticised it after beating Vinnie Calabrese 4-1.
"It's like playing in a shopping mall." he said. "There were people walking around and getting up as and when they wanted.
"The etiquette of snooker is not to move when a player is on his shot."
The tournament had spent the last nine years being held at the Newport Centre, before World Snooker chairman announced the tournament was being moved to a new, larger, venue for 2015.
Speaking to BBC Sport, O'Sullivan was critical of the move.
"I don't like it (the new venue)," he said.
"I thought Newport was one of the best venues I've played at, so I was really gutted to see it go.
"I had played here, so I knew what kind of venue it was. It's kind of like playing in an aircraft hangar, so it's a bit difficult.
"The atmosphere's not great, the acoustics are not as good, so from a snooker player's perspective, it's not as good a venue as Newport.
"But from a 128-perspective you need venues that are big enough to take 128 players."
O'Sullivan will face Rory McLeod in the second round.
ronnie sticking 2 fingers up to the administrators as usual
he is right though

Never understood the silence/no movement nonsense in snooker.
I grew up in snooker halls and clubs and you need to be able to show conecntration with all sort soft crap going on. Cant see why the pro's cant cope with it.
Would add to the atmosphere. The `non-darts' darts crowds have ruined live darts
but snooker could take it a few degrees without allowing all the crap involved in the live darts crowd.

I play regularly once or twice a week most weeks, have to say our games are better when it is quieter down the snooker club
I think its fair enough for the pros to complain, snooker has never been a rowdy game
apart from that 1 frame shootout event they have...glorified p1ss up
