Magic Sign & Joes to merge....

Why would tonnes (sic) of shops go ? They all want more FOBT's.

they would have to get rid of some, when hills took stanley im sure they couldnt take them all, sure paddies will have whats left though

Ah i meant that there hand might be forced to sell lots, but if there are no buyers, then ultimately the unprofitable ones would be gone...and then they can play the "fobt tax increases have forced all these redundancies" etc etc

They'd have 4,000 betting shops and the other bookies would refer it to the CMA (think Monopolies Commission).

If either of them hired a decent website designer, they might take more bets online.

They might take more bets online if they didn't keep refusing them.

2 of the worst bookies merging -

reminds me of the merger between kwik save and somerfield...put two badly managed companies together and you end up with a disaster

Rofl, posy.

new company name

BOLLOCKSED

which is the bigger and stronger of the two? Who gets to head this hybrid and which companies bet acceptance will take precedence? Which oily bastard, Williams or Clare? In 3 years the newly formed company will be in the same distress as each is now because the policy of not wanting to lay anything is ingrained.

Both in a shocking state, but if laddies done this it would be there final death nell as bad as laddies are corals are worse.

If they was to merge what would be there name . . . .Ladols sounds like a bog paper which is what there shares would be worth

Corbrokes, the Gentleman's Bookmaker

Brokecorals . . .The scallys fobt empire

Let's say you combine the worst of each of them in the shops.

You can only have £25 each way on at bottom industry price (except you can't get a bet ew in anything) and the majority of races aren't even priced up until after midday.

Great!
