Shrewdest book in your opinion?

shrewdest bookie?

or book, as in to read?

Bookie.

he has come and gone i think, freddie williams was the only bookie i have ever liked

Shrewd? Do they not all just shadow betfair?

none all just accountants and bf readers

If you go to Cheltenham, Gregory Hughes on the top pitch on the rails used to have an opinion and take it on the chin.  Dunno if that's still the case.
Stephen Little was similar, who never seemed to flinch at whatever "bags of sand" was thrown at him.

revedesivola: The late & great Freddie Williams  was indeed a gent, with balls of steel.

Best of all in my lifetime was Freddie as has already been said,big Garry Wiltshire when he was laying his own.

A fair few more but not in the last few years,the two mentioned were shrewd and behaved like true gentlemen.

Worst ever was a guy called John Noonan and his offspring.imo

Dan hauge . . . Next question.

"The taming of the Shrew" is definately the shrewdest book out there.

do you lot still believe in santa one now has a tipping line one goes arbing for a fiver a race one had the comfort of a huge water factory behind him and one bets pick one cheltenham rails hardly a hard pitch to run

Is dan hague the one that arbs for a fiver a race ?

rsnaughty.... Was noonan a rails bookmaker??

Theressomepratonhere sounds like a real knobb,where do you bet in Cheltenham?,if you are so clever at the game why didnt you buy no 1 when it was available to buy ?.How much did you ever win off Freddie williams and his water factory?,and how much did Wiltshire and Little lose to you?

.How much did you ever win off Freddie williams and his water factory

everyone won of FW, he done it in year on year.

the real question you should be asking is how he got that water bottling factory in the first place.

*off

No mincer its not him thats arbin Eddie Thompson.

mincer sweetheart one of the reasons i did not buy pick 1 at cheltenham is because i dont and have never had a permit i believe you need one to be a bookmaker however i do spend a lot of time racing and know a lot of bookmakers both from the uk and ireland and i can assure you there are many who could run rings around those i mentioned perhaps you like to belive in the tripe you hear and read maybe you should try to get out a little who knows you might learn something

So you are a qualified judge of bookmakers because you go racing every now and then,and obviously as you know a few of them then better again.The many who could rings around them as you describe them are who exactly?

i go racing more than now and then and i would not dream of educating somebody like you who has his mind made up also i respect the books who go about there daily operation without making a song and dance about things and will not post there names on a forum where people like you who seldom leave the house can see who they are in fairness to sl i did have an account with him and always found him good to deal with one of your idles however refused me more bets than he laid me

another thing sweetheart you called me a knnob for pointing out 4 facts

Neville Porter !! Bring back that website !!

i fail to see how owning a water factory doesnt make you a good book, therearesomeprats sounds jellyous to me, he also sounds a bit familiar is dat you sweet cheeks?

John Batten.

fat dodgy the point i am making about the water factory or about any bookmakers who have big outside operations bringing them plenty of money is that its easier for them on the bad days so there is less pressure on them when making decisions to an extent they dont have to get it right

Bookies with an opinion are like unicorns.They do not exist FACT.
