Scary Ronnie for sure.
 Hope it doesn't mean there was a record number of bets at £49.99 in a clumsy attempt to keep under a radar  |

ronnie, a wee question. Had I walked into your shop yesterday and put a ticket over the counter with a 1k bet on a 7/4 chance would it have been accepted?

The answer is no if you asked for a carpet on you would have been ok. Ronnie. |

If you were a green customer who would have been given a coffee a cream cake had your shoes polished and been told you can have what you want on.

And you wonder why no 50 quid bets..

I’ve always liked a bet in shop. Pre Covid I’d pop in every day. Now it’s twice a week maximum.
The shops don’t even try to compete with online any more. 20’s online, 16’s in the shop. Six or seven places online, five in shop. BOG either gone or on its way out in shops. There’s very little point in bothering any more. The fobts would always be full. I rarely see people playing them now. Even the betting terminals are shocking value yet seem the most popular thing in the shops these day. High Street bookies need to be tempting people in, not pushing them away. |

Simple solution there steve. Just tell the staff to take up to 500 on a 6/1 maximum shot....without phoning in.. |

Most shop punters want a tenner or less on. They want footy accas or Lucky 15s. If anybody is trying to £500 on a horse then this place is the place to be doing it. Not in shop.

A coffee and a warm up is what High st bookies are for imo.

a guy comes into the shop today and asks for a 600/500 on the Toon as advertised in the shop, send to PTL and sad to say he didn't get a cent on. the answer is get Kenny back |

That's now. Go back thirty years and it was never a problem. |

the same guy also wanted a monkey on a short price one at Donny, it was well beat but when I said he couldn't have the bet on the Toon at 6/5 he said forget it and abruptly left a very unhappy punter, as I would have if I had been him. The game has gone |

Swad. the nearest billys to me was an absolute goldmine. 100 yards from a pub. Shut down 4 months ago. There will come a time that if you want to get say, 2500/1000 on a horse you will have to be on-course.

** Of course the game may go underground as it has done in the past when you had to pay 9-10% betting tax. There be no shortage of opportunists......gladly taking your bets in a pub. I've seen it for myself.
No tax but the overround in your favour.. |

never understand why they will never take a proper proper wager on an event where its IMPOSS to be a fix.
Hard to spread 600 around eleven Premiership players... |

I expect if anyone had gone to the rails at Doncaster and asked for a £2000-£500 they would have got on…..

Formy its all well and good but relate back to your argument 2 month ago when ironically I was at Doncaster.
Unless you are being a tight arris its £50 on exes min... Carrying plenty of cash around... Its not for me. |

By:
Getting on undetground is no myth...infact its quite easy...
If you have a winning stratergy they dont wanna know...its a myth that they will take anything. The most successful undergrounds will only take a bet on highly liquid events...good luck beating them. |
|
By:
Apart from job losses of people I'd love them to shut all retail shops...
They are a complete waste of time and may as well be advertised as Casino's. |
|
By:
It truly beggars belief that bet wasn't taken, it's an absolute nonsense.

Have to disagree and I've been there. I wont mention which side of the fence.. |

Still busy up here Ronnie and averaging out around £30K a week turn over from the betting terminals and over the counter bets. Just under 600 bets yesterday and 279 on the betting terminals.
Between 9 and 9.30 today over a thousand pounds on football bets on the machines. Lowest earner we have are the fobts. |

monkey on a 6/5 wghilst 2.3 on the masheen and refused...absolutely beggars utter bee leaf.

Ronnie I got that ticket thanks, did pm you last week ...

Ronnie, not taking a 600/500 on any event let alone a Premier football match is hard to understand
Was 7/5 in baldy shop today, had a small bet on it myself, I'd be confident that I could have got a monkey on at 7/5 even if in 2 or 3 bets without referral Although yesterday in same shop a stranger tried to have a 3 quid each way lucky 15 at BOG ,got phoned through and told 3 quid win only at sp |

Affordability checks ARE 100% bookies not taking BETS. When will the Racing Post and the media understand this? You can't have a tenner EW sometimes in a big handicap. Racing is in BIG trouble.

Watch Swad on Twitter he’s actually a decent spud….likes a dig like most but 1.01 he doesn’t have a nasty streak
Unlike a good few I could mention…. |

The 600/500 punter should have wrote it out ten times as 60/50, hence getting what he wanted and satisfying the shops ambition to take £50 bets
