Went into a bookies for the first time in months today. There was 3 punters in, all playing the machines, oblivious to all around them.
By co-incidence I happen to know the new manager and he was telling me the machines make 75% of the profit at £5,000 per week. Couldn't believe it, horse racing and footy only make up 25% of a bookies profit, unless it's just this shop.
I used to work in Hills and I can say it's all bookies, they are pulling away from horses and sports, why risk it when then have a mathmatical certainty with the machines? They only still offer the horses and sports for the mug punters who don't know anything and want to put £2 on the next Fav or do a 25 team acca on a weekend
