Self inflicted is precisely my point. If we work together more, stop moaning about out individual lot - it is possible to bring about change. Too many bookies hell bent on blaming everyone but themselves
Permit me to bore you with brief tale from Newbury, where i bet next to a very nice gent- he's a modern day trader- put majority back as is his wont said to me at the end of trading how little he had made out of a muggy crowd bolstered by concert conveniently forgetting he is 1. exchange odds 2. restrictive each way 3. Never offered any other bookie a single hedge all day Sums up the blinkered approach I hear from too many these days eh? |

By:
OK SPORT,SO HOW WOULD THIS "WORKING TOGETHER MORE" MANIFEST ITSELF,DEMOCRATIC VOTING ON ALL MAJOR ISSUES,ONE BOOKIE ONE VOTE,FAIR AND TRANSPARENT NEGOTIATIONS WITH RACECOURSES,ONLY AGREED IF THE MAJORITY ACCEPT,GOOD LUCK U WOULD HAVE MY VOTE!

Fact- Sounds good ....... hasn't it always worked this way.....
why-ever not |

By:
Just had a look at the Newbury list,this would be rails pick 10 no doubt,a very early exchange pioneer,anybody remember the meeting at York racecourse where plenty of books attended in a debate on whether we used exchanges?
Will Rosoff gave a very reasoned argument for us not to use them,this guy was on the front row pleading the case for using them so that all the fiddlers could stick their chest out,2 minutes later he was out of the game as he discovered fast pics was the future (good luck to him),now the edge has gone there he's back. |

AGM's are all well and good giving the members a yearly opportunity to air their views and concerns regarding the status quo but at the end of the day are they nothing more than fulfilling a constitutional necessity and tantamount to window dressing? If the Chairman is worth his salt and fair minded he should without exception ask for a vote from the floor in favour or against the motion and the Association MUST then take the matter forward. Chairmen take note !!! Pursuit of such democratic processes would be a major step towards the establishment of a much needed improved working framework.

Ok - would somewhere out there please educate me ? How does the linkage / reporting structure / hierarchy / call it what you will work between the likes of the various area associations and the FRB, ARB and ARB - apologies to any body I have omitted ? What is the reporting structure ? If one Association has many more members than another and has voted for a certain action that should surely count for more than an opposite view expressed by very few members of a different Association with a far lesser membership. Until a structure is in place that binds those elected to negotiate and represent to express the views of the masses then the prospects remain questionable and unsatisfactory. Is the time near for the consolidation of the area associations in order that the premise of 'divide and rule' by others will have far less chance than it does now ?

Ribero - rails newbury pick 10 would never consider voting pro exchanges in any shape or form on track. I believe in sustainable margin
Price ladder- 'modified' ie certain spurious prices removed any halves over 11/2 9/1, 11/1, 22/1 28/1 and any silly bit in between ie 13/1 also removed? 10/3 and 6/5 consider the effect on your book. It's a small change- but very transparent geoff banks |

FACT if you are saying that despite an overwhelming democratic decision outlawing pitch renting it would still go on then you might be correct. This issue would need to be supported by another decision to allow one person to be on only one Schedule Y - this in itself would not prevent pitch renting but it would definitely reduce it.

By:
If we had the remit to run the pitches then, yes, we could have a vote and that would then decide what happened.
Unfortunately we don't. |

adge, that is appalling. I thought such shenanigans were a thing of the past. Disgrace.

Mmmama pickpockets are disciplined, professional and organised in what they do, ( some even work as a team ) - your comparison does not seem very appropriate !

mmamaluska still bookie bashing (do u never give up !! )
as you know you get better win prices with the 1/5th odds ,and as anyone who has tried betting 1/4 odds in 16 runner races , will tell you, the majority of the punters want the best WIN prices !! and before you say use your phone : you consistently beat the show and SP on course !! |
