CALLING Aintree bookmakers from yesterday....

40 runners....half the field's prices scythed...you do the math

I was thinking more of the angle of two joint favourites, and two of the first eight in the betting being in the first four!

paying out 10 to 1 for a mcoy winner which should have been 25 plus,and could have been backed on here at 18,s on the off must have been a great winner forb the books

Could have put each and every bet back in here on the SP market for guaranteed profit

1st time poster,



Two of our local shops layed a £5000 to £200 on friday the winner!

1st time....

see previous thread. never 10/1 oncourse :|

fair play to anyone who backed it,i backed in pertemps final and have backed it many times before ,but cudnt have it yesterday,bt its always had a touch of class

"should have been 25/1 plus".................where do Betfair find these people ?

Why would the course bookmakers put their takings on here? Do you not understand the term "bookmaker" ?

well it was 50,s 10 days ago memory

wassie, I take it.. like the shops.. a disaster?

Not a disaster Hal - the one race of the year we can put the whole field in the book. Only 3rd worst result for me.

My part time cashier had a nicker ew on friday at a pony...

.. if shes picked the winner... we've no hope! :D

you dont use the machine then?

beard - I use it occasionally as a hedging tool on rags and it is a useful guide when the informed money arrives late. I certainly do not put any proper money on here. Its hard enough to take these days without giving it to unlicensed bookmakers on here.

B-)

on course books heading for self destruction through their sheer apathy, ignoring customer complaints about terms and such - too many selfish or plain ignorant books out there, by ignorance i mean percentages and coupled odds don't compute

halcyon,to answer your question,the winner was a take rfor most books i spoke to ,except the ones who the big firms bet it with,who lost

sportsadvisor,im afraid your wrong !! there is no apathy among our leaders,punters complaints are being taken seriously changes are been organised as we speak.off course there are some bad uns amonst us,but dont bet with them,as you dont use shops that charge most !!
