go back 20 years - 365 was just a small independent chain of betting shops in SOT - fast forward to 2012 and they're a business employing 1700 people. They sound like smart business people to me.
I think the company history tells you how clever they are. |

grim, I know what you are saying, but as you must know, I play either in the place market or lay short price favourites which I consider are beatable. This costant moaning about bookmakers refusing bets is tiresome to me and not worth the aggravation.

there's a difference between fighting (by which I take it you mean trying to outwit them?) and just moaning on here about it though is n't there?
Not much publicity in RP today about red card protest yday proposed by OP. |

I despise off course bookmakers just the same as you. grim. Just find it easier on here, but if you make it pay then fair enough.

Reaseheath..I am still fighting, betting and winning with them !! Am not interested in nicking a few quid on here or arbing.I can still moan about them though !! The more people that know that you cannot win with them then the less business they will do.Spread the word....

Many of their prices are just marketing ploys to me. It's not serious odds compiling. I can remember getting 9/2 on here early on Blue Bunting in the Irish Oaks when I heard Laddies were offering 11/2. It soon went, but how much would I have got on?

Depends how prepared you are to do battle sparrow??
Anyway its roast beef time. . . . be lucky . . . . corbi . . ditch the goon quickly. |

Sparrow they no longer have odds compilers corbiewood will tell you what they do....
"hill willnae lay me ataw' - yet they are a company that are investing hundreds of millions in sportsbook development" Imagine if you will a company investing such sums and then closing down vast swathes of accounts and not laying a bet in their shops. Sack the guy in charge of sportsbook development - it is not working !! HaHaHa... |

Grimmy have you missed me? I have been taking a bit of a sabbatical after I got banned from the forum for reasons unknown. Hopefully my new username will help me creep under the radar. |

OK corb im back.
Homefortea you have done a better job than me of slapping the bookmakers stooges down.Have you noticed when corb has no answer he changes the subject and resorts to insults and claims to have such superior knowledge that people posting the truth are beneath contempt.For someone who earns a proportion of his money off the back of the misery and suicides caused by the FOBTs to then also criticise posters character shows what an immoral worthless lowlife he is. Strawberry as for me being clueless...as Homefor tea has tried to explain to you.Bookmakers are not any longer prepared to allow a tiny % of short or long term winners along with the vast majority of losers.Now they will only allow the losers to bet and are quickly identifying and stopping anyone likely to win even short term and closing them.They now want a 100% losing clientelle. Roseheath (365)If bookmakers think it is in the terms of their government licence to operate in a way which a court may find unethical and even illegal ie to only allow customers to trade with them in a way which can only result in losing and discriminates against all other customers.Certainly government are supposed to implement the conditions of these licences for the benefit of the people( )and this loser only policy is certainly only of benefit to the bookmakers.But OK if it is legal(although unethical)and a compliant government allow it.Then bookmakers will continue with this scam but lets have the truth that punters can only lose out in the open.Then punters can make an informed decision on whether they want to bet with this loser only condition.As before the new generation would laugh at them and go elsewhere. |

I see that the broken record that is toronto44 is still going strong. Never has one man been so wrong about so much on such a regular basis. It is almost uncanny.
As Marcus Cicero once said "Any man can mistakes but only an idiot persists in his errors". He cleary prophesised the appearance of toronto44 2000 years before it happened. Inspirational stuff. |

Banks why were you banned.Nothing to do with your occupation was it,as i have never heard you say anything other than the standard bookmaker script.You may be boring but never controversial.Now i really do push it sometimes but i have never in 11 years been banned.
Let me pass on to you a wise saying which you may find relevant...."Fear most the enemy who comes as your friend" or "Beware the messenger who arrives with a smile on his face and a dagger in his pocket" |

By:
Toronto44 don't believe everything you read. Some things really are said tongue in cheek. Unfortunately this appears to pass you by to such an extent that you try and use them to "prove" your points.
As for your quotes well I must congratulate you on using 2 of the most inapproprate quotes possible. I have never "come as your friend" nor have I arrived with a "smile on my face". Mind you in your own deluded limited world you have no doubt convinced yourself that I have so it is now fact as far as you are concerned. As we are trading quotes I will leave you with a famous one from Plato. "Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something". I will leave it for you to decide who lies where! Be lucky. |

By:
Banks surely its pretty obvious that we are talking about the forum as a whole here,not me personally.For an educated man who likes to call others foolish,your narrow area of knowledge surprises me sometimes.Also with "smile on their face",Banks these quotes are not supposed to be taken literally but to make a general observation on life.I am sure you do not sit on your computer for hours with an ear to ear grin stuck on your face.That probably is only visible when your cheque for services rendered arrives.
Yes i did miss the tongue in cheek part of your post it seemed to contain only include yet another bitter, weak and pointless attack on me. Read your last quote again Banks and relate it to your constant need to come on here whatever the subject to defend everything and anything bookmakers do. Be lucky |

Bon Viveur I have welcomed you back on another thread but please do not be vindictive.
Who was it who said "to be banned once is a folly, but to be banned twice is inexcusable" |
|
By:
Your ability to twist and misinterpret pretty much everything I write on here is absolutely unprecendented.
You even make up "facts" to support your misguided views. I am no more a bookmaker/PR man etc etc than you are. I certainly wouldn't deny the fact if I was. Unfortunately peddling this myth makes it easy in your mind for you to dismiss my comments. Years ago you would no doubt have been the sort who would stubbornly believe the earth was flat regardless of the fact that someone sailed east and returned from the west. |
