£100,000 Fairy Godmother at 2/1

Indeed! I'd not blame him if he'd torn up his bet voucher 2f out; he'd have 5/2 with 365 (boost), but Ms Coates would have kittens, if so.

2 100k bets struck with starsports and both winners...

wel aye.

star sports again

just tried to get £1 on Kitty Rose with them online

offered me 4p

mussed av ewe doon as a shreewdie

No doubt a known face, and account/credit betting. No bookie will take a bet like that unless it was from a known face.

indeed

a known face

gareth from accounts, handing over the £100k they gave him 10 minutes previously ....

Who'd carry £100k on a racetrack? Neither in any shop not even that in Mayfair, I believe.

Plenty premier league footballers with disposable income.

You can use a card these days impossible

why would ewe need to be a known face to plaice a huge bet at royal ascot?

Stick a  £1 on something in the 6 15 with star sports and screenshot what your offered

To hulk

An acquaintance at a pimp-my-ride entity said a then Chelsea footballer paid his £15k bill with the mobile. He then showed him his balance. It was almost £862k+ credit. My firend was gobsmacked!

Yes,I hate to think what some are paying for car insurance, regarding age and car type

were u of the view he didnt have a stars account or that he didnt have a quid?

Imagine a recreational punter here walks into a Starsport shop and asks for £5k cash on a prestigious meeting on a 2/1 fav Listed race. He'll most likely be knocked-back eg £2k at 2/1, the rest on sp.

To elise

hello tom, hope you are well?

Doing okay, had an infection in the lung that been a bstard to shift over the last 2 months 

Hope your doing okay

Star Sports traders once said to me we will lay you any bet at the right price (for them). Then 2 bets later closed my account.

good ty, hope the infection thing sorts, not nice

Cheers mate, made of strong stuff up here

2x 100 grand bets one wins their never getting it back this week, both win  months to get it back, reading their blog they seem to fioeld about 40 grand a race, the business model doesnt stand taking 100 grand bets, unless their laying them back on the machines in which case they arnt realyl standing the bet

Its all just a guess what business they do, take or lay some of, how much online busines, online casino business do you think they do 1tp?
I would imagine it will be very healthy imho

Dealer.
How's the shops being  this week desperate  in dark and depressed  Darlo.
Ronnie.

Quiet Ronnie, probably doing better than some, 400 bets otc and 190 on the ssbts, no big money though but in fairness we don't have many large staking customers left

£2100  otc
£1800  ssbts
£2550  fobts

Dealer
Very sad to say the shops are like my dreams my dreams they are fading  and dying. Told a young  staff member  only yesterday  to get out its only a matter of time.Sad but true..
Ronnie.

Dealer .
About the same in Darlo must have took a hundred bets today under 3 quid  told the young  staff member I was taking that in the school  playground  50 years ago.
Ronnie.

Yeah I'm hoping to retire next year. It's a shambles

Dealer.
The worst  thing is the  otc is going  through  the floor but  nobody  is bothered  the ams don't give a toss.
Ronnie.

Yes everything revolves around online or slots.

Just before covid we were doing over 5000 slips, struggle to get over 2000 now.

Dealer.
The shop never took a bet above a bullseye today.
I think i will turn the lights out very very soon.
Ronnie.

Dealer
A Lads shop in Darlo Monday to thurs will take less than 400 slips for the 4 days a Hills shop will take even less..
Ronnie.

Jeez that is sad,

Makes a good blog, which is self promotional.
Good luck to all.
Should tidy up the Kensington shop tho, had less offers in the Hacienda in '88.

all these 100k bets with starsports hae been coolmoore (there was 100k on diego valesquez),so highly likely its Tabor.

Yeah they also took 100k on Opera Singer (2nd )  another of his.   I believe they have said the course business can lose but it keeps them in the spotlight with publicity for new accounts/ shops.

yeah and 100k on auguste rodin

"Fairy Story"

It was probably someone who would not miss £100k but he must have been writing it off 2 furlongs out. Port Fairy was the only half decent priced winner Aiden O'Brien has had.

See the firm have laid plenty already  including  a 48 k to 3k.the cient didn't  ask for 50 k to 3.
Have a good day  guys and gals.
Ronnie
