My gripe is with Oppenheimer who runs a 200% + book near the parade ring to catch the unwary. Absolutely scandalously underpriced on EVERY single horse on EVERY single race by about 40%!
Disgusting. |

By:
Oppenheimer? sounds like a pan lid. That would explain it.

Charwell we have to face simple facts of life-- The race course is not where serious money is bet with the exception of Cheltenham.
All course bookmaker play different games - some like to lay small for high %s Others Like B Dennis wants to take 3 times as much as any other bookmaker so he will bet to smaller margins. Some go there for entertainment - The majors lose money with their on course activities but are there to control off course liablity. Serious punters don't exist on the race course any longer. I for one spent my life trailing from course to course punting - i still go racing but less often - But i never bet with on course bookmakers - most of mines done well before racing starts. |

Disagree - he gets a pitch near the parade ring with only one other bookie within sight and bets to ridiculous margins to fleece racegoers who aren't odds shrewd. It's disgusting and is not operating a book in any sense of the word. It's like a vulture waiting to swoop. And it gives other bookies a bad name.
My mate had a bet with him not realising he was half the price on every runner. He was seething when I pointed this out and has tarnished his day out feeling as though he was suckered. |

charwell - i do understand your point - But this man buys and also pays rent to stand an offer his wares, hes not a charity shop - your pal has choice he either takes the easy option and bets with the first bookmaker he sees or he goes for a hike to the main ring and shops around. Ita a bit like the local shop who opens 24 hours or Tescos. Its all down to supply - demand and availability.
Bookmakers arnt there to give free lunches- they go to make a living its a jungle- thats why we love it. |

Its shoppers choice Charwell - some iddiots go to Marks and spencers and pay £2 for 1/2 a pint of 3 month old water packed in a plastic bottle - others turn the tap on and get fresh water for nothing.
