Woz stuck in Oz so this mite have been done before, but what actually is this extra fiver for?
Your battery runs out, now u gotta pay £15 for a 'spare'!!!
Maybe for staff training! Maybe for staff vans!!
Maybe for the decimal disaster? Or maybe to make up for the reduced numbers?
It'll reduce even more shortly.

What's the daily rate?
|
|
By:
20 from 15 davy as of may 3rd.
how did you find monday night davy ? |
|
By:
quite right jimnast, one word in ur reply explains all
|
|
By:
Very hard - 1st race (3 runners a non event), took a lot of £2 bets and the results were poor, won on the book but didnt cover expenses.
I fell like the bubble is starting to burst but equally was a poor card, £17 to get in, no big screen etc |
|
By:
to often davy the fields are to short,cant understand why books are still paying the extra to bet.

sorry gleddoch you have lost me there.

i'll do the gordon brown and say i misunderstood ur reply, so please explain!!

well the bookie numbers are clearly dropping off, just the front row lineround with us. How was the paddock? You going next thursday eve or you at chester?
|
|
By:
i was refering to the new cashback scheme,where the more you spend the more you get back.
|
|
By:
paddock was ok,next thursday will depend on weather/runners how about you ?
|
|
By:
jimnast,i know you do a lot of days,but do you really think its fair the smaller operators paying more per day ?
|
|
By:
Jimnast - I dont go to chester so i'll probably go, but its flat which is even less popular than NH down that way.
|
|
By:
hard one that dm,we pay the money for insurance really i doubt any off us ever wont to call them for help,so the daily rate should be the same for everybody,however i do think its wrong if your battery runs out you have to pull up 15 quid,my biggest concern with the service is many of the staff have there favorite books which they will look after first,new years day i ended up not working at cheltenham as most of the staff were rushing around helping a well known off shore bookmaker who does around 200 days a year less than me.

By:
jimnast, i have no idea about this cashback, tell me more

THey spend most of there time doing the pitches with 3 links.think ive used them less than 5 times in 5 years apart from there software problems.i have 2 of everything and if it wasnt for the** wouldnt need them.
|
|
By:
stars = purple firm
|
|
By:
over 400 days 20%
200/400 16% 150/200 9% 100/150 5% |
|
By:
EXANTE is a £10 a day, but no on course support unless its a festival, though most issues can be dealt with over the phone.
|
|
By:
move over then regit
|
|
By:
regit thats a very good point about the link ups,i have noticed a lot of late that they spend much more time looking after those than the single books,that has to be sorted out.
|
|
By:
i think a cashback for not using them would be fairer,like a no claims discount :) or smaller fees in the minor rings,even if they do get to you there it often is delayed
|
|
By:
unfortunately the link ups pay per pitch so often £60 per day !! do they really need them 3 times as much ?
|
|
By:
dm fair point about the silver rings.
|
|
By:
bk needs them every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
By:
and your man needed them for an hour at wetherby.the same rain and wind hit me but i never needed them.
|
|
By:
i can just see lindsay saying yep after that pr disaster
|
|
By:
in less than a year bk will probably have his own man to follow him around.probably cheaper.
|
|
By:
and another 1/2 hour at sedgers !! :(
|
|
By:
That's a good point about the silver rings dm. Quite often, at Windsor particularly, we never see them until they come around for the £15.
|
|
By:
Do you have to pay them the £15, are you paying them for oncourse support or for using the network?
|
|
By:
simple solution then guys, dont pay!
|
|
By:
dj, network crashes- tough you stll pay!
|
|
By:
ianp, they'll be looking for 20, but should be related to the ring ur in surely!
|
|
By:
ian how many books would you expect at windsor monday ?
|
|
By:
Good question Davy Jones - what is the £15 for? is it to use the internet connection or is it for the technical help? If its for the technical help then why pay, if you have your own spares?
|
|
By:
smurph, u missed the header! 20 quid!!
|
|
By:
don't for the life of me understand whyanyone pays this silly money when a much more reliable system is available.
and it's not £10 per day i'm working 25 days this month and theTOTAL charge is £36.25 |
