Think we all should email McCririck on this rancid practice, get it aired on Channel 4 racing
and then they moan about how bookies are in decline what a bunch of twonks
The idea of the column for the Racing Post and its bookmaker business partners is for followers not to get the prices, but still back the horses anyway, imo...

but on sunday did
both when shops open. saturday 9 am sunday 10 am

Had a long conversation about this with customer services on saturday after failing to get advertised price in the shop.He advised price available online or in shops that open 8.00am but he couldnt tell me shops that open at that time.
Can't blame the bookies for wanting rid of clueless freeloaders. I think plenty would be glad to see the back of pw but the rp need to keep it going.
Skinto is distraught at this news saddo, go cheer him up please.
have to commend lads on this one.Anything to get arbing mugs off the streets is fine by me.They have ruined racings heritage,mathmatical goons they are.
lazarus seems happy enough with the current standing.
I notice that the original poster cannot spell the simplest words.
percentages..What is the world coming to..An obvious plant..Why would anyone come on here and suggest that a PW selection can be backed at 20% bigger..Betfair please do better...
None of them really give a sh1t about racing, football etc anyway, as long as there's a reasonable supply of bandit addicts.
I emailed Channel 4 Racing about the Ubi Ace fiasco on Saturday before the race i.e.how 6/1 only was available, price didn't revert, Laddies manager couldn't understand how folk were supposed to get bets on etc. I got a nice reply from the lovely Tanya saying she'd pass my email onto the fat hairy one. Might get a mention on Saturday's Morning Line if a few more people email Channel 4. I think Tom Seagal is their special guest.
Has to be asked this weekend then if Sir Tom is the special guest
if TS is the attention seeking type he must f***ing love this forum
i like the fact that whilst he is on channel 4 on saturday anyone that follows his selections wont be watching it as they will be knocking the bookies doors down trying to get £25 on his bets. be intereting to see if they mention anything about the pathetic limits the 'big 4' put on.
when pw highlights where the bookies have gone wrong why shouldn't they change their prices? seems logical to me. Millhouse is probably right
they havent gone wrong. its called a book!!!!!!!!!!!
they are bigger about some horses but then they are shorter about others!!!!!!!!!!!

Siralex..Ask Tom Segal on Channel4+1 when you get back !!
If you can find a Ladbrooks shop in Ireland that is open before 10am you'd most likely find the cleaner behind the counter.
I honestly believe that come saturday tanya will vanish up toms rear end before 9am
Every week on the Morning Line Stevenson interviews a bookmaker rep (this is obviously a commercial endorsement, which is against OFCOM guidelines, but hey ho), and while we're sure to hear about what they've "taken money for", and what "special offers" we can all "take advantage of", she will deliberately fail to ask the only question that the punters who keep her show alive actually want asking.
The bottom line is that there is no place for boat rockers on the gravy train, as the few journalists who still have their integrity remotely intact will tell you (the victimisation of Lydia Hislop for daring to actually do her job, is a prime example)...

opened up an account in my wifes name with ladbreokes. they closed it down instantly once they realised my account is restricted. so even if she just wants a bet on the grand national with them she cant!! i never thought i'd say this, but i am starting to think they r worse than korals!!!

To be fair, what exactly did you expect?

maybe he expected to place a bet?? isn't that what crookies are meant to do? take bets????
Gonzo, surely the question Siralex is entitled to ask is where does it say in Ldbrks' rules, T and C's, advertising or media coverage that winning is not actually allowed...?
Quite agree, the issue of bookies closing accounts is one that no-one in a position to do so will dare challenge, and it's a joke. I'm absolutely in line with your own opinion on that.
But to act surprised at them closing a new account after you've been restricted on one is a bit daft.

dr gonzo - of course i wasnt surprised. it has already happened with paddy power, stan james, bet365 and others. but i wont just give up when i am trying to make money!!
but as my wife said, why cant she place a bet??? she has done nothing wrong??? she might only bet once a year but they wont even let her do that.
its wrong, thats all there is to it.

Rider, I was talking about the McCoy thing, though I understand she did question Miller on air recently about William Hill not taking bets...
if i went into sadcrooks and wanted an even 10 grand on red in a roulette spin...
1. would they take the bet?
2. would the spin be legal, shall we say?

^ There are many casinos that wouldn't take that bet.
there have been many threads on the mccoy matter and punters are split on that topic, if she has started challenging bookmakers and their shady practices then this is commendable, welcomed and not before time, though i havent seen it first hand (or read about it anywhere) i'll take your word for it, millhouse
why doesn't someone set up a union ( organisation type thingy ) to talk to the regulators of bookmakers ( the governmaent or mp's ) to discuss the problem of bookmakers taking bets of losers , but refusing bets off winners .
if they refuse to take bets , maybe there licence should be refused . or they should be limited to taking the size of bet off everyone , so losers should be restricted like the winners are .

rcing, if you went into the Big Three's hospitality boxes at the Cheltenham Festival, I've no doubt you will find plenty of MPs enjoying lavish hospitality.
You could set your watch by one former Minister for Sport at World Hurdle day every year - he even presented the trophy for Ldbrks a couple of times.
The equally contemptible Philip Davies MP, who regularly fights the bookmakers' corner in parliament on things like FOBTs, lists Ladbrokes Hospitality among the privileges he has enjoyed...

millhouse , they are taking the p.ss if thats the case . but like all things to do with mp's , its only a matter of time before a conflict of interest like this would come out in the press . such as the mp's expenses scandal .
doesn't matter if you are a mp or not, the public generally know right from wrong . its just in this case the public have not been informed , yet . thats why punters need to set up there own organisation . to show the discrepancy that occurs on a daily basis .

I wonder if you were in court in front of a judge or a dury even what they would make of it?
Only those of us within racing know the scandal that goes on day in day out.
Would be interesting if someone could get them in court!

I believe that in the 90s a punters panel was set up but unfortunately it did not last long. Bookies need bringing to task about Pricewise and banning winning punters. And those flaming FOBT's
The racing post must be spashing with this story daily.
Barney curley once tried to set something up in the early 90s i believe??
Rem seeing it on a newmkt open day.
Do they still have those?? Anybody know??
