Screaming from, I have to disagree with you regarding the tissue's,
the trend now is for books to open up the previous evening, on the competitive races
that is, then betfair slowly follow. As you know there is almost no money available
the previous evening, so you have to head to the shops, to try and get what your after.
So now with the bookies trading principles, they just tell you to f--k off.
I absolutely dispise Ladcrrokes, (i worked for them in the 80s), I done the h/cap at epsom
spent over two hours on the race, came up with a couple, was dumfounded by the 16s offered on Communicator,
made my way to the local Ladds, got refused they didn't even offer me a score e/w. Why d f--k open
and even take a single, I must off been one of the first to back it, as they were still showing 16.eh
About 3 months ago headed to the same crew, tried to have a poxy £60 ew on on borrowed wings at 25s, on the
friday night just after they opened up, no thanks.

Sorry for the duration of post.

What is needed will happen naturally via natural selective type processes(competition)

and this will be the following so the whole industry had better take note.

1....General Bookmakers will lose if they haven't already the largest share of core sports betting too exchanges.

2....The current FOBT trend will peak and hit a decline as minds sharpen and learn in time away from induced effect of quick cycle high adrenalin betting that you cant beat a machine but you can beat the habit and warn your friends, Ditto.

3....Certain popular lower ranked and less targeted by advertising promoters ,SPORTS ,will take less revenue generally from the public while top one will increase(football).

4....The Smartphone and tablet betting will increase and continue todo so.

5....Competition between exchanges will increase slowly but surely and the possibility of three major exchange companies is a strong possibility within the next 10 years as the technology is widely available .

6....Competition will eventually create better margins for customers over comms and premium charging.

7....further and many small and satellite of chains of bookmakers will close due to inefficiency of running a hard house(shop) businesses over a soft house (Internet/software)business competition fiscal pressure from other leisure forms.

IF anybody doubts any of the above predictions which many are already happening then comment the number above ans reason and lets rebate.

The concept of morphing a Track side type bookmaker operation,needing only a brolly into an exspensive high/side street shop is a failure , provides little employment and has even given bookmaking generally a abad name as at least the trackside bookmaers have still got a pair and will take big bets, just like the exchanges will.

Are you turning this into one of your stream of consciousness threads?

Possbly only 3% of the general public know that bookmakers ban winners and close accounts, the improving interation between the general public via socail networking and other media technoligies means at some point this figure will saturate so keeep hoping and praying mr big bookmaker that this doesnt happen!

And claiming half a million was betted on big bucks by someone that wasnt paid by the said firm is complete and utter RUBBISH.

Why don't you stick all these comments on the thread eh.

P.S!!! LMFAO
