Think you will find a massive reduction in betting firms high Street estates. Lots were earmarked to close anyway. Anyone who tells you otherwise are talking through their spout. |

Most of the shops with marginal profit/loss have closed already or are trading until their leases expire so imminent closures were inevitable before the virus. Whether punters go back to the shops or not after having a sabbatical is a very good point and one that I hadn't really considered; personally I think that some who have been able to work during lockdown will have a hell of a lot of disposable income burning a whole in their pocket as they haven't been able to spend it, either down the bookies, on their kids, down the pub or gym, meals out etc; but others may decide after three months of enforced exclusion they have changed their habits and routines and can easily live without it; who knows really!
My gut instinct makes me think they'll be alright, but I might be wrong. |

Does anyone really give a fcuk if half of them close?
The only people I sympathise with are the ones who'll be out of a job...not some shíthouse arcade & amusement engineer/technician who point blank refuses to offer any fair terms - it's endemic throughout the rotten industry, highlighted in spades at the Cheltenham Festival and before that, last year's Royal Ascot, where they ALL (the first time I've ever seen it) paid 1/5 odds. Utter cowards - fcuk 'em!  |

As you can tell...I sit on the fence as regards bookmakers (a trades & standards misnomer) and struggle to get my point across - the game's up for the bástards...the golden goose has been fcuked in trap 2 for so long, I'd even welcome a Tote monopoly out of spite!

It was said that when this virus has gone,there will be a recession like the 1920,.If thats the case ,betting shops will be flying .Just think of the betting shops in deprived areas they are usually the busiest.Bookmakers shares have risen sharply over recent days

Do you not think this break....
Give them the ideal opportunity to review accounts and unblock a few "marginal" restriction calls...loads of sport backend of the year... take some effing bets? |
