He has restricted a punter to £25 in all his local shops on any of his pushes (after telling everybody you can back them up to £100). The punter had backed one winner to £100!!!

beat this ,at goodwood after the first day betfrud put a 25 mile exclusion zone around goodwood and if anybody even looked as though they were involved in horserace betting it was no bet , in fact in the racecourse silver ring office there was an area manager vetting people as they entered to see if they were bookmakers or worked for a bookmaker and barring them .

Great Yarmouth has four shops
No one, including holiday makers, of which during the summer months there are quite a few, can have any more than £25 on any push
Quite disgusting really
Makes you wonder if Fred knows what's going on or its all down to the area managers
You would think they would want to take as much as possible as they think they can get these pushes beaten?

Cant stand fred but the arbers are killing the game. Not laying pricewise selections in huddersfield shops. A gang of ten were doing both shops (within 5 minutes of each other). Going by Tom's recent picks Fred would be better off increasing the limits instead of knocking punters back.

Why are the arbers killing the game? I always thought that was just bookie's bile to stop laying bets.

ARBERS this is term describing a small minority of people which is used by bookmakers to justify their widespread banning of any punter with more than two brain cells.

Above is correct. The problem isn't arbers, it is bookmakers who don't want to lay a bet to anyone they think has a chance of making it pay. The arbers are a convenient excuse. If bookmakers have confidence in their compilers and a built in percentage in their favour they should be happy to take wagers, but they clearly don't.

Rayman, are you talking about the Bretton shop or is this another instance ?

I can see the reasoning behind restricting bets on Pricewise but restricting bets on your chosen promotional selections is plain stupid.

The Bald Knocker is well past his sell by date..

My information is that he is at present in a home at Didsbury trying to peel a banana and Mo is arguing with the Phillipino staff about room rates..

He is in the top bunk but Mo cannot get on...Love
