Had a look at Panoramas infamous expose of racing again last night. It was the first time id seen it since its original showing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIgG3SnfwQo
its still shocking. not so much the actual corruption, but the sheer arrogance of the racing authorities. They come across worse than characters like Brian Wright.
If they showed this every year nobody would punt on horses at all. Younger Betfarians who havnt seen it should take a look

Bookmakers will always accomodate high rollers once they have proven themselves as prolific losers

So in a 2 horse race backing 1 dont you become a layer of the tother? Or in any no of runners backing 1 you become a layer of the rest of the field surely?? |

By:
Doesn't matter either way ... Just pay the levy

By:
geoff m, this has been explained numerous times on here,
SOMEBODY HAS TO BE A LAYER you cant all be cowboys, some of you have to be indians, otherwise there aint a game |

By:
Absolutely.. There is always a layer ,no matter what, and if you want horse racing subsidized by the levy ,then the layers should pay the levy!.....
