In a race they sponsor worth £300K to the winner, the max bet on their already ridiculous price of 10/1 because they offer a stupid number of places so they can rip you off even further with non-comp prices, is the grans sum of £1.20.

I know it's pretty much academic, but do they allow you to take SP rather than their shortened price?

Means ***k all when they won't take a bet. Utterly pointless.

I am sure if you work out all their odds in a spreadsheet their betting to >150% because of their great value 8 places.

At 1/5th the odds its not great value though is it. Total rip off terms and too many mugs fall for it.

Book is 159.05%

Why have such a profitable book and not take any bets!

as i said it's academic unless they take a bet later, but the sp book will prob be 140, so unless you are reasonably sure your selection will be backed, taking sp would be better. btw when I caculated the book it was 165%!

Perhaps Chapman or Chamberlin might say something today about bookmaker restrictions ruining the fun for many punters?

So is the post from Simon Nott about Star taking 1000 e/w and 500 bets etc is all bs?

I don’t know if you’re cherry picking these bets or not, Trusty? You obviously didn’t want to be backing it at that price. Out of curiosity (and for a bit of balance) what will it let you have on Audience in the 3pm?

This outfit is profoundly poor. They will only allow 250p on any of their bet boost.

I thought it may have just been on the ew races with massive places. Look like they’re willing to lose a tenner on those and twenty quid on the others.

They should all be called out for this, when you could phone up spoilsports, i asked for a £40 bet and was told by the polite young Irish girl on the phone,
''the trader has offered you £10 max on that sir, we must have taken a lot of money on that, why don't you pick another one'' i kid you not.

Did this race not worth £500k to winner at one time? I'd be wrong.
