Be all sorts of crap coming out next week.
Was quite glad last year when a few locals ran a book in the pubs/clubs and Hills was dead round our way. Hopefully do the same this year. |

i must admit some of the managers these firms employ leave a lot to be desired.
a new shop that opened 3 months ago is a classic tale of when you really must blame the staff and higher up for not dealing with this. on sunday the take in the shop was £624.00 for 364 slips. on tuesday the take was £433.00 for 325 slips. when a district manager queried the slippage for tuesday it turned out one old dear had placed 295 of the slips all on virtual racing with stakes of anything from .03 pence to .15 pence a slip. this shop has been fitted out with all the latest tv screens showing the companys own virtual as well as the sis crap. the managers response was at least he is getting the slippage up and the district manager agrees but no one has pointed out to them take the care in the community old dear out and the shop has been open from 08.30 to 22.00 and took 30 slips for approx £400.00. it really is that frighting that you would not let these 2 run you a bath let alone a business |

Cant wait till next week to all the BS about laying horses for millions at Cheltenham.
Ruthlessly take your business away from the media platforms who knowingly perpetuate these lies, imo - one of which, I would bet very good money, now has William Hill as a shareholder... |

if anyone has it off this weekend with a certain firm do not expect to be paid cash for 4 figures and above as staff have been instructed to bank as much as possible
one district the area manager did not bother wondering where the spare keys to all the shops in his district were. it looks like relief staff just left the spare keys anywhere and when staff left or where sacked no safe codes were changed so some enterprising member of staff has been nicking the keys and keeping the safe numbers. after emptying the safes of at least 8 shops at night he got more adventurous this week he sent someone into a shop when the manager was out and the guy was dressed in uniform and told the cashier he was working there she let him behind the counter where he then went into the back room and emptied the safe of 12k. he then asked the cashier if she wanted anything from the sweet shop and vanished. when the manager came back she told him the relief cashier went out and has not come back and he thought strange extra staff today and it was not until he went to do the banking he realised the safe had been raped |

The do with the slips, ha ha ha.
Another Gary Markar (DOM) - Fairbairn ("LBO MANAGER") classic up here in Carlisle that. Fairbrass asks his regulars to do multiple slips for him so as his slips are higher, eg: 5 quid on t1 208 Romford - do 5 slips with 1 quid on each to up the slippage. Makar agrees with this and even says "this lad has good business sense". William Hills - stupidity all the way. |

The high street firms do not give a hoot what they take over the counter, unless it is virtual racing.
