Hills limit everyone anyway. Just stop betting with them and stick to betfair

It's a concession withdrawable at any time , trouble is with these companies they leave them that long everyone thinks it's in the rule book.

Gambling is just like shopping , visit the place you get the best value and leave the rest to get on with it.


Good luck today  Happy

I think there will come a time when the main firms will only bet on horses at the big 4 meetings in the year or not at all.
You see, with horses, people can study form and about 1% of them will make a profit, whereas casinos and roulette, nobody wins in the long term.
So that suits the big firms, everyone has to be a loser, because that's what there traders are told.

Will lose a few on line customers for sure.

Same on here, if you take the 2% on the exchange no guarantee's or offers.

They'll lose some for sure barstool but the majority will probably be customers they don't mind losing , in other words having a business mix that doesn't suit their model and only bet to take advantage of concessions.

They'll probably keep the vast majority that comply with a business mix that contains mug soccer acca's and other high over round stuff.

Online bookmakers Stewart’s it was brought in during lockdown as a temporary measure,the firms played fair at first but then got a taste for it as it became clear it was here to stay.

Does it make a huge difference who sets the SP? Those betting at SP take their bumps like it is important, like birthdays?

Reality is the SP is for idiots and BOG etc made betting better than most of us ever knew?

Yes Cagliari it make a big difference
