Agree it can be hard to get hedge bets in the ring, but some of us will take them (as you know). He is the only one I can think of who has a sign up though.

Do they have a sign up or just blow you out?

I'll always lay you and anyone else a bet if its on the board. Don't see any reason not to. No trade from a bookmaker is an admission that you're not very good at it imo.

On-course bookmakers are basically rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic and have always had an unhealthy pre-occupation with the success/or failure of other peoples business. I remember a fellow layer at the dogs having a dreadful night one evening and moaning like mad all the way home (I was pals with his clerk/son at the time)...then the clerk told him I had lost 2k more and he starting singing in delight for the rest of the journey. Basically the solution is simple....standard each-way terms for all or win only betting...and ban hedging into betfair on-course (perhaps ban it altogether)...the cash stays in the ring/punters come racing again....simple...but sadly bookmakers are cliquey and sadly incapable of agreeing about anything!

OZZIEBOB,SHOULD U BE CALLED OLDHALLPAUL
|
|
By:
Lightbulbs - that is the solution imo. Trying to get the bookmakers to agree to it is the hard part, as most wont stand horses for 2 bob nowadays, the majority wont lay fellow bookmakers a bet of any kind, and the really poor bookmakers can only keep going by flimping the EW terms and turning over the punters.

cashless it was on saturday at haydock in the 14 runner handicap 4 bookmakers were displaying 123 1/5th odds ab bet steve lloyde bob denman which surprised me a little and mt which surprised me a lot
it was thankfully then a mistake by mt in forgetting to change his display board which is easily done in hindsight i perhaps should have pointed the mistake out to them but as they were betting next to lloyde i thought they might have had enough please pass on my apoligies to them and its very nice to hear they are not going down the route of the many that have no balls or honour to bet the correct way |
