I wanted 80 quid each way on a horse for the paddy power I had to use 3 phone accounts and 2 shops,
its about time something was done about these wasters masquerading as bookmakers.

- go into the shop put a £100 on the machine
- win a bit lose a bit try no to do too much damage - gesticulate a lot, head in hands etc - say things like 'Red is "due" 'these are my lucky numbers' .... etc - go up to the counter looking flustered - have your bet on the horse = cost of doing business |

With regard to all these joke bookies, I read a new book last week entitled Speaking With Forked Tongues
by someone called Mick McDermott. It lambasts, with evidence all the leading bookies for closing accounts, restricting people to SP only or offering pathetic bets in response to modest requests. It also states quite clearly that the entire racing media wont go near the issue as many are closely linked to bookmaker money. |

so journalists/media are part of the racing mafia..thats true you dont ever hear them talk about this issue...so they all continue to get on,,,blackmail i suppose..but they are all on for the ride
im just a small stakes punter the odd lucky 15 etc..but had some winning months and getting restricted all over the place...time to get on and make this a much bigger issue. i think there is much credence in what you say when you read journo blogs and bits of stories about there punting day and the amounts they are betting in, usual stuff about a them and us issue and frankly dont weall get fed up with gettin a feckin raw deal the elite dont care at all so long as they are all aboard the gravy train |

I know a well known RUK pundit who is a professional punter , he told me basically he only gets on because of his high profile in the game.
I vowed that if any bookmaker refused to take one of my bets ,I would oppose their license,but I only have a bet in the bookmakers3/4 times a month and they are normally a treble or an accumalator when I take the wife shopping. |

they rarely refuse a bet altogether frank but will restrict stakes & go sp only on a regular basis.
i had a terrific argument with a baldy manager about his sp only restriction on a race which the poster behind him declared was best odds "guaranteed" sadly he was too fic to see the contradiction. |

its a wonderful read and also very funny- 3 titbits from the book 1 boyles more likely to come across dr livingstone
than anyone with a usable boylesport account 2 skybet in order for skybet staff to see money they would have to be taken on a day trip to the vaults of the bank of England 3 Ladbrokes had they been around at the time of the crimea war they would only have been paying first four on the charge of the light brigade (673 runners). I also like the picture painted of the 3 shepherds calling into a betfred shop in Bethlehem on their way to the stable to see jesus and fred done seated by an fobt inside Westminster abbey giving us all a xmas blessing. |

This book would be a good opportunity to go for the jugular and expose the whole corrupt bookmaker media cartel, imo - it only needs to be promoted by someone who knows what they are doing and the mainstream media will be all over it, imho...

By:
Ladbrokes had they been around at the time of the crimea war
they would only have been paying first four on the charge of the light brigade (673 runners)  they would have only paid first 3 as it wasn't a handicap. |

By:

The author could do us all a favour by posting copies of his book to a few of the National Papers, see if anyone's interested in taking up the gauntlet? but don't hold your breath.

Proper book, not home made, 90 pages and a real laugh, think the author should be a stand up comedian now his betting exploits have been knocked for six by the BIG FOUR
