Sad to say the shop was the quietest can ever recall for a Royal Ascot meeting,just got in sat down having a nice glass of chablis with my prawn and avocado salad.The shop never took a bet over 30 quid at Ascot on gold cup day looking back i dont think we took a single bet on al asifhan.what was even worse when the stalls opened for the gold cup opened the shop only had one guy in putting coppers in the fobts.
Believe it or not i have had one of the best meetings i have ever had.i have laid 78 horses this week and only 3 have won at 11/8 ev and 6/1.

Ive heard of better business at a Newsagents.
I wish they would shut all the places up and compensate the long term staff.
Problem gambling would fall dramatically with fools playing machines, its tedious it really is.

Perhaps Ronnie some punters finding the meeting rubbish so farcand have decided enough is enough?
perhaps Ronnie it might be because your better punters were asked affordability checks a reminder perhaps to Jokers the gravy train has long departed choo choo.
Stranger walks through the door. Let's make him a red one.
A shame some here yet to differentiate genuine posters instead of spouting their entrenched perception of aftertiming. A blessing these posters are not in high office eg judge, manager of an entity/human resource, etc. Otherwise, the same sh1t, different day result eg Men's FA England on Mr Southgate.
WTF are you on about impossible, of course we All know Ronnie is one of the genuine posters on here but it doesnt mean you have to agree with him, some good points well made about the emptying shops.
'GLASGOWCALLING', with respect 'ronnie' has been one of a small handful of depleting genuine and candid posters here. And, I've no doubt what 'ronnie' posted earlier was genuine and sincere 100%.
Much the same up here Ronnie, took more otc on Monday, than the first 2 days at Royal Ascot. The last week of the month is brutal turnover wise, people just don't have any spare cash these days,
Went into my local Corals yesterday, nobody in there, woman behind the counter having her lunch, they usually close between 12-1pm for lunch, but as its Ascot week they kindly stayed open. I asked for prices on 4 horses, the woman told me she was new and struggled to find the prices, she said go on the remote machine it'd be quicker, i found the 4 horses, then the machine wouldn't take my £20. i walked out. they all lost . Joe Coral would turn in his grave
Since when did shops close for lunch
Back in the day I would eat lunch in the corner, sat at my settling table.
Some shops you dared not leave for fear that cashiers would start taking late bets [intentionally or otherwise]

If I was a punter I'd not go into a shop where the staff seem to hate their job so much either.
I was at Worcester on Wed., and watched one of the Ascot races in the course betting shop. The Ascot race was off, and they immediately went to a split screen with the dogs parading at Newcastle. Meanwhile, each full-size screen on either side was showing the same virtual horse race.
Paddy's are stopping online BOG on the dogs from July 1st and any customers who wants to continue to get BOG on the horses can only do so if they opt in to receiving promotions. Shameless.
PP went in yesterday they cut the tv feed from itv when he said 14/1 on world pool 9/1 in the shops lol they had new auto coffee machine behind counter cappuccino or latte and its better than costa so had 2 free said its been rolled out to the rest so they will have a edge
Remember going in a H ills in York 30 years ago. Wanted £100 on a 10/1 shot in a Royal Ascot handicap. One word reply "No" Soon only towns/cities like Darlington /York will only have ONE shop imo. Smaller towns zero.
The Corals near to the Kennington Oval close for lunch, if it's single manned that is which is perfectly okay in my book.
Although having said that, the manager is a right bitter piece of work and obviously hates the job and the punters are a nuisance.

Impossible, with regards your 9-14 post I haven't contradicted any of that, read my replies properly Ta.
The shop's are dying ! With Harry boy promoting the Tote 24/7, they'll be gone soon enough !
Without football they're brown bread !

Advised by source I trust that 61% of Badblokes profits are online casino/shop FOBT's.
Racing is irrelevant to them now.
Assume most others similar?

Ladbrokes stated back in the 90s that Horse Racing and greyhound turnover was just 51% of total turnover.
That, and the advent of the crack-cocaine machines convinced me to get out of the managing shops malarkey.

'Star' in Mayfair is managed by an acquaintance of many years ago. Even then he showed the potential and attitude for the bookmaking business. I think James won 'Manager of the Year'.
the Star staff are a credit to their business to be fair. Very friendly and their shop in Clapham is very pleasant. Good customer experience
and the staff aren't all over the internet shítting all over the business

I was underpaid in the Blackpool shop.I was only visiting so it could have been a genuine mistake.
