When I mentioned to you that 30k/100k bet last night the main purpose of it (and,yes, I did fancy it) was to see if you could realistically stick that bet on on course. I don't know if there are any rails books at Carlisle, (especially at a night meeting) so the point is could you or anyone else for that matter get matched?
Royal Ascot and Cheltenham perhaps but would there have been a book there to accommodate such a bet in your opinion?

It's a while since I've been to Carlisle steve but just cannot imagine a bookie, and even a rails one at that with a message besides his board....'Maximum take out 30k'.

sparrow, the good old fashioned way....cash. That said if I put that type of bet on and I knew the bookie I would accept a cheque for payment.
I don't know if it happens now but in the glory days a punter and bookie who knew each other well would only have to tell the book....for example... 15k to 5k a 3/1 poke and things could be squared up later one way or another. |

I used to like the shout,nod,wink agreements between regular bookies and punters at the dogs.

Sadly the book who took him on is now deceased but his daughter still has a few pitches but no idea if she carried on her father's tradition of laying JP.

I know what you mean Denzil but although it still happens at the dogs, it's a practice becoming far less frequent.
