its not going to go away it needs sorting out there should be no option.if books choose to bet win only then fine.
|
|
By:
I agree with you foxy, it should be the standard terms or win only, no other option should be even considered.
In fairness to the on course books, it is hard to price a handicap at 1/4 odds when the place book is showing 93%. Punters do not understand that its not viable to bet to those terms, but it makes the bookies look bad when they are betting 1/5 odds when the place terms should be 1/4. |
|
By:
its as simple as that mincer there are many races where the place terms are very kind to us.
|
|
By:
Yes of course there are. An option for the bookies are to bet win only and still allow the smaller punters on who are oblivious to the fact that its win only. I think what the bookies want ideally to be able to do is to bet win only and each way to small stakes.
The type of bet that they certainly wont want to lay is 800/100 ew something thats tight enough on the win and about 2.6 on the place. |

By:
you tend to get a few regulars each time you bet and even if you are betting win only most would always let them bet each way.

it costs me £60 to get to bath from brum (just 98mile) £18 + to get in and the bus is probably in the £5-£6 region now, not having any food or drinks on course and having to sneak food and drink through the gates, not allowed at Worcester food and drink, £4.50 a pint in most places, good job I dried up years ago hey?

Bookmakers who stick signs up saying mo bet higher than £10 may do better business, as silly as it may seem,. The opposite(general practice) i can assure you scares the poor away.

Monmore didn't want it, to me that would have been the perfect running surface. Towcester have got the greyhound Derby, what a joke of a track.
|
|
By:
Take ya binoculars!
|
|
By:
Yes slippyBlue, I agree, Hotels , Train station 5mins from track, Birmingham just 25 minutes away also, the farmers win again.
|
|
By:
I thought the Gambling Commission had stopped on course books offering place only ?
Couldn't have the Derby at Monmore .. the going is too inconsistant. |

Monmore didn't want it, to me that would have been the perfect running surface slippy, its been hideously slow for months and needs completely re-laying the surface at towcester is much better but the actual shape of the circuit is laughable |

I know of a couple of lads who were interested in sourcing a dog for the greyhound derby in England next year. Two guys who wouldnt have minded ponying up 50k for the right model. The intention was to get a run in the derby and have a few weekends in and around London, with the possibility of going deep into the competition.
I know for certain that if they got the dog for nothing they wouldnt to go Towcester, just absolutely no interest in going to some place out in the middle of nowhere. The English Derby was a fantastic competition when it was held in London, but whoever thought of having it in Towcester was off their rocker. |
|
By:
sadly the chances of the greyhound derby being held in london again this century are between slim and none
|
|
By:
Well they can forget about greyhound racing in Britain then, because for most Irish people the big attraction was coming to London, the dogs were only part of the experience. And without the Irish, then the same as Cheltenham would be, the English greyhound derby is a dead rubber.

Most northern lads would agree!

I'm a yorkshireman MJ so I understand exactly what you mean but the sport needs a presence in london as that is where the strongest concentration of wealth is
its the natural home of the sport's flagship event but its all gone now so got to move on and get behind towcester |
