the sad thing about it is they will take the shirt of the backs of "mug" punters and compulsive gamblers regardless. The thing is that the average betting shop punter doesn`t believe you if you tell them what they are up to. A betting shop should accept bets from any customer.

Winker - next time you are in Joke Corals film them restricting you to £10 on the horses, walk away from the counter, return and then ask them to put £100 on the FOBT using your debit card - I guarantee that'll get plenty of views on Ewe Tube...

Don't blame the manager, it's the PTL mob that need shooting not the manager. He cannot accept certain bets without reference, if he does he could easily be accused of collusion and dismissed for gross misconduct.

Slippy, is it true that staff are trained to ask "faces" questions and build a profile for head office to distribute to other shops?
They say that if L`s had run military intelligence during WWII it would have finished in 1943. |
By:
Yes of course, monitored customers have a profile and all bets are tagged i.e. a name is attached to each slip. The profile is then scrutinised, it's been going on for years. I was Mr.X with Corals for ages and like many people on here when they eventually had enpugh they told me to eff off.
Also face images are captured by security and handwriting examples are passed from shop to shop to identify punters who are not wanted. Basically, if you continuously beat the S.P. you are surplus to requirements. |

Slippy - of course betting shop staff cannot be blamed for bookmaker policy but they don't exactly help themselves sometimes.

No doubt some of your friends are Coral manager's, they will soon inform you that the next step for monitored customers is that the area manager will want to know who the trainer is on the horses that they are betting on. Just got back from York one prominent bookmaker who used to have 4 or 5 people working for him was so busy today that he let young lass working for him take the bets whilst he ate his bait, how the betting ring has declined. |

Guys, there was a punter in a local shop during Cheltenham. He had identical bets on 2 slips and actually said to the manager, "I`ve wrote it twice because the bet, if it comes up, breaks the shop limit". I saw him outside and told him if he got it up, he would only be paid the £20,000 daily limit. "No", he argued, "It`s 2 separate bets, I`ll get 40k". I spent anothe few minutes trying to get through to this thicko, who only had been betting for 30 years, that the limit was £20,000 per person and not 20k per bet. "If you are going to do this, get another person to write the 2nd bet, or better still, put the second bet on in rival shop across the road". Complete waste of time. Like speaking to a brick wall. Mind you manageress, totally clueless too. Years ago most managers were quite knowledgeable but now it`s mostly people who know **** all about betting or sport.

Never ever seen handwriting of bets passed to other bookies, nor do they have the handwriting visable on tills matched to the customer

nice idea. i still need to get korals back for banning me from their shops for having the cheek to have £25 on in 3 different shops.
just go into korals between 8.30 and 8.45 tomorrow and ask for £20 on one of the pricewise horses. they will knock u back for certain to 5e/w or 10 win. then ask them to mput £1000 on a machine. record that and put it on u tube. classic. |

ianhamilton, passing slips for handwriting comparisons is common practice. Think Kenny Envers, Barry Conway and the second favourite man with the arrow. Ronnie Rails will know who they are..
|
By:
i had a bet in lad crooks the other day the old bird behind the counter took my slip she then pulled out a massive file from under the desk , she proceded to compare my handwriting to a load of different photocopied slips , ten mins later she said yep thas fine and put the £60 bet through the till..

normally discreatly but from now on i tell them straight this fella even plays up to the camera u are about to see...

![]() It's ridiculous but that is what the staff have to do. Like I said earlier, a gross misconduct and an instant dismissal case is waiting for them if they don't comply.. |
By:
id rather clean toilets than be threatend with the sack if i take a bet and it wins....
|
By:
u r right slippy, the korals staff are threatened with gross misconduct if they take my bets or give over the limit on pwise bets.
but the fact is they have gamcare posters over the wall next to the fobt's yet no one stops anyone putting hundreds into the machines and yet u cant get more than 10 on a horse. although you can have hundreds on pwise horses if u are an A grade. i asked what you have to do to be an A grade, was told basically someone who loses lots...... |

telling me being processed . if my mate has still got his one will try to get it added to yours

I recently went into a Merseyside independent to put a placepot on. I wanted to do a 5p permutation but they only had the tote minimum 10p forms. They did however have their own placepot forms so I filled one in. 162 lines x 5p . Girl at the counter said she would have to ring the bet up to head office. Unbelievable. Reluctantly they accepted the bet. Got the bet up £10.20 return. Hardly a threat to their future.

Bookies are now just casino's - anyone wanting to put a serious bet on doesn't go there anymore. Surely betfair is the only way to get a decent bet on - you can't be refused if there is enough liquidity. I only go into a betting shop to do the placepot or Scoop 6.
