I used to use them.You pay about 25 quid for use of SIS pics and a pc.
Surprising who you bump into in these shops lol.

famous people ? is it just free money ? are the pics that much faster ?
Report Agent G May 1, 2010 12:46 AM BST
if it was free money there would be a queue at the door waiting for a seat.

but there isn't.

you need 4 hours of training at least on the Gruss softwarwe that the trading exchanges use,
you need to be a very big hitter to make it worth your while, these guys sweep the money up this means your laying massive odds in running,dont even think about playing unless you have at least a 5k bank, and pref 50k

and dont forget the high street trading exchanges are only second in the pecking order, now most courses have them, the guys at the courses are playing without the delay of the high street trading exchanges, which makes them almost live

Ring up and ask for a seat on your chosen day.
Travel and arrive early in anticipation, pay up.
Feel like the new boy on the block.
Take your seat.
Ask how to switch on your computer.
Load up Gruss and spend twenty minutes loading your preferences.
Ask how to switch channels on your tv.
Wonder how the first race went by without you managing to strike a bet.
Scratch your betty swollocks.
Ask how to switch your headphones on.
Determine to do better and strike a bet during the next race.
Realise your watching the wrong channel and you've missed the last race.
Rise confidentally and walk to lounge to have a cuppa.
Walk back to your seat, eyes front, portraying nothing but professionalism.
Their off for the next, strike your first bet.
It's a loser, but never mind because you've clicked on the wrong horse.
Nod in agreement at the rooms general dissing of Spencer's ride.
Back the fav as it races prominently in the next.
Watch unemotionally as said fav falls in a heap a furlong out.
Back your fancy in the next before the off.
Try to lay it back i/r at evens, pressing lay, but lay at 7.0, leaving you hoping your choice falls in a hole.
Your fancy wins leaving you a few hundred out of pocket.
Stay the rest of the afternoon, playing safe, knowing you've done your conkers.
Determine to stay to near the last race - don't let anyone see that you've fecked up.
Drive home in silence.
Wonder how people make it pay - you know (or think) they do, but you can't figure it out.
Take a week to come up with Plan B.
