adge think u bet 1/5 1234 (correct me if wrong)so u wont qualify.

But REGIT, would you take a ''bad each-way bet?''

Course not - and quite right too.

daniels:it will match your joint,are you going to use the flag to replace your hat that has a poor excuse of a football team on it.lol

Why not have the gold flag for the books that dont shot most of the money back on here,you would not need many.

on the rails at aintree 85% bet the standard terms. this was 95% at ascot wednesday and 85% again at newmarketfor the craven. it appears rails bookmakers don't agree with you

THanks adge

a poem from the 1700s, of Anti welsh rhetoric
Taffy was a Welshman Taffy was a Thief
Taffy came to my house and stole a piece of beef
I went to Taffy house Taffy wasn't in
I jumped upon his Sunday hat and poked it with a Pin
The rhyme was used when ever a Bookmaker ran away without paying

A bit like calling an Irishman thick

So when ever a Bookmaker ran away without paying the English would claim he must have been a Taffy and the world Welcher followed on and had stuck.

My personnel knowledge of the Welch is to the contrary

If you look at the way the English stigmatized any other race
Scots as Mean
Irish thick
Welch as thieves
And Jewish as ????

The original usage of the word Legger was derogatory, and thought up by the Aristocrats who had Match betting to themselves,
When a match between Derby and Sefton would take place there would be 100s of supporters from both noble houses and the aristocrats would have there own agents, members of the household doing the gambling, for them.

When it was seen to be popular outsiders joined in, and at once the were called Legs, inferring that they would run away without paying.

Obviously it was difficult with both decimal and ordinary odds being displayed,so that doesn't prove anything.

whitemarsh I will enlarge on the topic tonight on my blog it is quite interesting Well I think so

Thanks all welcome.
I'm pleased it hasn't upset any of our Cardiff Friends. (the Welching Thred)

its disingenuous to suggest bookmakers can'tbet to standard terms because it's either 'unprofitable' or we'd suffer undue criticism for not reapecting exchange odds (not sure why we should but that's the debate). in actual fact most modern bookmakers cannot function without exchanges and require to cut each others throats to make profit by conveyancing every penny back on here. You simply choose to bet that way in order to grapple every fiver available

Lumponlarge.

I am sorry for anyone who lumps on large, but it is a forum and that is my opinion.

Perhaps you can give your opinion so it can be debated, I will tell you why I feel that decimal prices will be the only prices allowed on course and off, otherwise there will be a fine involved. it is just common sense.
If you think that there will be a two tier pricing structure then i disagree.

But also it is a forum and perhaps you can discuss it in a more educated manor.

Having looked at the 14.03 statement again and I know that every one knows that in 2012 The Charge to Bookmakers limited at 5 times, is to change, and all you have to do is read the Boards and Rails Association for that fact.
As for a two tier system.for prices.
When Vegs were sold in pounds every one said they wont get me Changing to kilograms,
Now.
When selling potatoes the law demands that you sell them marked in weight at Kg G. you can however mark them at lb also to help the old

But I cant see a Bookmakers board have both Fractions and Decimal up at the same time, can you.

Artful... that's what they said about
This is a list of Dodo,s that come out to roost in the Betting and gaming

a Tote monopoly in 1955 and 1927, Government.
no Betting Shops William Hill, 1957
No selling of Racecourse Pitches, RCA, 1990.
Racecourses to rule the pitches, 1990. Chepstow and Wolverhampton[ton Chief executives.
End of a Away Bookmakers Richard Muddle 1992
End of Seniority by the Lingfield 8, 1990
No chance of women right, to seniority 1997 BPA.
No Boards on Rail in the Foreseeable future, Rodney Black, , Horse-race Betting Levi Board 1997

I have another 10. however if you can see all the new racecourse Gamblers, aged 15 now, going racing and betting to fractions, when the internet, Spread Firms, and BETFAIR and a New Tote betting to decimal then I am surprised and will have to take your artful away from you
