Who punts in the betting ring with plastic ?

I often use my debit card in the bookies. Never used it on course but if having a bad day and the cash has gone……..

Imagine a pen thrower in the betting ring having a bad day with a few quid in the account at the mercy…..deary me doesn’t bear thinking about…

having a bad day,cash gone, GO HOME

Punt the banker and enjoy the rest of your day win or lose….

Debit cards in bookies have been used for years. No different from taking cash out the ATM really.

The ones throwing pens around probably haven’t got any money in their bank so a debit card is irrelevant to them!

I’ve never been in a betting shop since 1995 Kenbo apart from the one on course just being nosey tbh….and that’s not often…Perth and Hamilton…..dodged the ones in York recently…

Katie Price uses plastic in her pink ring.

Another strange individual tbh…..people just don’t like to be natural nowadays…..teeth b@@bs and anything that goes…

I know a woman in her eighties who has never put anything on her face….even on her wedding day…..you could take twenty years off her…..pure class and quality…..

knott eeven her husbands gash basher?

"but heard 10 % of transactions (all transactions in general) on spending are plastic…"

Something like 80% of retail spending (by value) is on plastic.  Doubtless distorted by high-value transactions being mostly on card but I would be confident many more than 10% of transactions by number are on card.

The younger people I know not only do not carry cash, they do not even carry physical cards (relying on phone 'wallets') so the cashpoint is not even an option.

Most of the young people won’t have a wallet or purse….I’ve noticed countless at the checkout holding up the mobile to pay…..

Probably not for a long time but it will go eventually….

I noticed a punter at Perth playing on the card and the bookmaker asking if he wanted cash when he picked up winnings….

I thought fk that…..not for me sorry…

The way it works though is that any winning bets on course using a debit card are paid back in cash.

Many tracks now are card only so while one can gain entry by buying drinks or food using a credit or debit cards a winning day with the bookmakers using a debit card will mean going home with cash.

Cash is dead........ask bloom
