Racing rip- offs name and shame

Ascot - £17 for a glass of champagne!

The cost of food and drink at virtually every racecourse is a disgrace. Add to that the service,again a disgrace

every fookin bookie on the planet

Ripon - Chester & Bangor Bet - SP minus 10%

Tote dividends, The concept moey back as free stake - which is not returned - this to me is bordering on fraud.

each-way terms on course - any fraction you want sometimes
or none if you want  - should be standardised across the industry (i know a lot are)

had a free can of coke ladcrokes out of date

£20 a month (minimum) to watch it !

Newmarket - burger £6....slice of cheese 50p, onions 50p...tastes like crap, straight in the bin

profit was prob £6.75

What is 'Chesterbet' in English please?

I've just found this nonsense and I'm a tad puzzled as it says fcuk all about what a rip-off it is:

"chesterBet is the Race Company’s in-house betting company, and similar to the Tote, it’s really easy to understand. The ‘live information’ screens around the course and close to every betting position gives you an indication of how much you could win. These ‘odds’ are shown to a £1 stake and are a live estimate of the likely Racecourse Price (RP)"

I've heard how greasy some of the returns are but does anyone know what it's really about?
AND does anyone bother with it?

must make a profit of about £30 on an onion.  not bad work if you can get it.

each-way terms on course - any fraction you want sometimes
or none if you want  - should be standardised across the industry (i know a lot are)

Each way terms on course are standardised and have been for some time.

agree so why do you guys go racing

Music nights. Why not have racing on one night and a concert on the following evening. That way no-one gets pissed off.

buying a burger / hot dog van is the way forward...you may stink like burgers each night but your profits will be huge

Do the racing circuit and  festival circuit = quids in - 3o cans of deodorant a day still = £££££

not really ,these sites want fairly hefty fees ,many fix the price of food  sold so its not as simple as it sounds .

Burger sales went south  after the horsebeef scandel

Neigh, breadnbutter that can't be right.

THE ONCOURSE SP SYSTEM,100% CORRUPT!

£4.50 for pint of fosters at york

Worse still Brendrew, £4.50 a pint for John Smiths. They would have to pay me more than that to drink the stuff!

What was wrong  with the refreshment at Ascot?
Celtic Warrior had no complaints,water was free & he thought it was great deal as he stood there reckoning the %'s up on his phone.Actually Celtic if you read this ALL courses have got to supply free water once I believe the temperature tops a certain figure which isn't very high.

Lingfield Park tomorrow. 4 class 5s and 3 class 6s. £23 !!!

£25 entry into Newbury last night, only one race had horses rated above 70, banded racing at its finest.
