Was until Ben Keith came on.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.

A lot of talk from this character Keith but Starsports sacked my account off after a couple of winners.
I don't blame them as I wouldn't lay my bets, but no need for all the pretence and bullshine. They are only interested in laying losers or people who aren't price conscious that they can scalp. |
|
By:
Luck is overrated imo….takes people to task then backs off.
|
|
By:
He is infected by the 'high status' disease. Keith was leaning toward saying something mildly negative about Harrington's tenure just then. Can't have that though as she has a protected characteristic, so he shut it down immediately. Plus of course the other condition that champagne socialists are deeply afflicted by, gross hypocrisy.

Ben would be the first to admit that he doesn't want people he cannot beat.
Having been closed several times in other peoples names for hardly winning a fortune I was surprised to hear in early 2022 that Star were taking people on and laying decent bets. I rejoined and lasted three months before they drew stumps. I don't think for a moment that it is Ben's money but that is only an opinion. An interesting watch though. |
|
By:
Yep but he was talking for 30 minutes, at no point was their any indication that their priority is filtering out anyone who knows what they are doing and retaining the mugs. And Luck swerved it completely. Perhaps he hasn't been throttled to £1 max liability after less than 10 bets.
At least dig into what being a bookmaker means in 2026 (ergo, not making a book!) |
|
By:
Ive had a fair winning run with them this year but recently asked for £1000 Carlisle United and was offered £50 which I turned down. They were never in front and got beat.
 |
|
By:
The bet £3.65 retort was the perfect opportunity to broach the subject.
Surely the only thing anyone watching is interested in from a bookmaker is whether they will lay your bets or not. I don't really give a shiit how clever his sister may or may not be! |
|
By:
Cider,he did say at the start of the interview that,"can I beat this person".
|
|
By:
Nobody in the media cares two hoots about bans and restrictions. They could almost be said to be hand in hand with the bookmakers.
|
|
By:
uti that is rhetoric.
compare and contrast that puff piece Keith interview with Cruddace's one the other day. |
|
By:
that tale/story that Keith got extra time to tell,trust me left my face far more IS THAT IT ,than lucky,s looked,
note to oneself never get stuck in a kitchen,lift witn Ben Keith, everyman and his gog has a man cave with a pool table in it these days but KEITH saw it as a signed youi,d made it in to the bigtyime,LUCKY couldn't wait to shut him up still didn't get the story is BEN KEITH just extremely thick confusing SHIPS with CHIPS or did I miss something ? |

Enjoyed the show sageform and what a nice gesture from Buckley regarding the girl with the polo mints .

By:
Not the only story with holes on the show today.

By:
keith only wants losing punters closed my account and i was losing with them
|
|
By:
Like many Bookmakers they have been heavily fined by the Anti Gambling Commission.
|
|
By:
restrictions are one thing but the affordability disaster can be blamed on the gc. an absolute shower
keith hasnt aslways been so risk-averse. maybe become too corporate. he lives in tony morris's old gaff in marylebone |
|
By:
He was certainly risk averse when he was betting with his own money pre 2020
|
|
By:
It's quite glaring though for me. So you get a boss of a racecourse group on, you'd expect them to get passively attacked for lack of prizemoney, questionable facilities, prioritising profit, taking out of the sport et al. That happened.
What the one thing your audience would want a boss of a betting company to be challenged on? That didn't happen. |
|
By:
I did try to post a follow up earlier but for some reason i couldn't.
|
|
By:
That worked. I thought I must have been banned from using the Forum. No idea about on course betting these days as I have not done any for 5 years. Interesting that he thought that people were going back on course to have a bet since the checks were brought in. So long as Betfair charge 2% and allow in running bets I will be quite happy.

By:
No prob for you but when someone wants monkey or grand bets and you can only deposit £100 a month....
|
|
By:
The only advice I would give is to leave your money in here instead of constantly drawing out, Howard.
It is the deposits that get you restricted |
|
By:
I don't draw anything out. But I can't afford too many £500/£1000 losers that's the problem. I can afford it but you know what I mean.

By:
If I had four or five figure sums in a bookie account, I would take out insurance! Who knows when one of the big ones goes bankrupt. Take it out overnight and put it back next day.

Luck giving hannah spencer lots of credibility
 |
|
By:
You can't have a rational argument with irrational people, chasing twatter likes. Giving them credibility in a serious context is exactly what they want.

A breakout of common sense on the show, with Andrew Black this time. Two weeks in a row now!

 …..Deary me…..bred more undesirable types inventing the pink click imo…. |

Without the Layers there would be no Exchange you moron

Exactly scrapiron……
Without the pink button Scrapiron there would be no members….. Destroyed the betting ring scrapiron……you being a big pro should know that,scrapiron…..bla |

A slurry pond was arrested in plastic Dubai recently…..it liked pink (allegedly) scrapiron…..

By:
What I know is that pre Exchanges,the Magic Sign would stroll along the Rails and shorten unraced horses they knew had no chance to suck in Betting Shop fodder like you.
Aceform now believes he is Patrick Veitch after finally tipping a couple of winners. Naturally,there is no P&L on his pointless thread  |
|
By:
That would be the same if betfair didn't exist. As with many parts of modern life, the internet and smartphones have changed things forever.
|
|
By:
Of course it would Cider but unfortunately the brainless one fails to see it
|
|
By:
I give scrap a 24/1 winner and that’s the thanks…….dreadful individual…
|
|
By:
I wouldn’t like to be Patrick Veitch tbh….
I have met him on a few racecourse visits……certainly no hero figure but a decent mannered spud….imv… I saved him from fainting at York,if you know him ask him… |
