Once the green mob brought their bots in frico I was gone. Practically. Use here when it suits. Otherwise, once you have a working gambling brain, shops are the only way to go. No good for you freako as your drone wouldn't be able to help you. How's Tony?

bookies love affordability checks. helps with the profiling.
lets them know who's got the money and who's not worth bothering about. do an affordability check, find out you've got half a million in the bank. invite you round to simon clares gaff on sunday to meet his family. |

I can see things reverting to the days of the 80s & 90s...there was a guy everyone knew from the bookies who used to go around the pub taking bets.
He was a bit of a rogue but trustworthy to a degree and he did actually cough up and never ransacked anyone - I remember I didn't do many bets with him as I liked the man but sitting in the pub one night, I had what I thought was a cert in a 5f handicap at Goodwood and couldn't see it being beaten. I told him I'd have a tenner E/W on it and that it'd pííss up - it won three lengths (just as I said it would) and he actually paid me out at 9/2 SP not the best-priced 4/1 I took & 1/4 odds too in a 9-runner race...so it must've been a good result for him - everyone else ignored my sage advice  I could actually pick 'em back in the day - it's literally YEARS since I've had enough confidence to be so bullish about a sprint handicapper  The horse was called Aughfad...and he paid for a few nights in that pub  |

'There is nothing reasonable about a requirement to disclose personal financial information in order to be granted the right to spend your own money.'
Is the correct answer. Sets a terrible precedent which the nanny state, sponsored by the appalling Labour Party, will use to restrict, or worse, ban, anything they don't like - which is pretty much everything the working-class people enjoy. |

This particular idiocy was "sponsored" by the tory party in their white paper. If anything, the version under Labour doesn't appear to be anything like as draconian as the tory version.

Anyone can open an account with at least 30 different bookmakers. Then there's the shops . The courses. The illegal books in every pub.

Bookies fault. AC was part of the bookies business plan many years ago. It's objective was to manage punters superior to their day-release traders.

Dreadful thing greed they couldn’t get enough,cold as ice now look at the mess…..

By:
The whole point of gambling is to inflict financial distress on other punters.
Beating the odds and beating the commission can only be done if there are plenty of bad judges out there trying to win back their losses. Any long-term winning punter who thinks this announcement is not as bad as they feared, or that it won't affect them, is deluded. |

Horse racing is a million miles from the circus material and should be left well alone…..

Nige says it's like "living in communist Russia".
What's the gaff headed for if you can't take 5 mil off a cryto billionaire, or take bags full of cash on the high street from middle easterners (like our king) or funnel lucre through phoney business, or betting accounts. It's just not on |

At the moment, people are free to give away cash. And take it. Unless the Liberalists despise you, and will do anything to retain their lock on power.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the people driving this are aiming to close down horse racing. The affordability checks are just a device to confuse racing into thinking that they will allow it to continue so long as we protect gamblers. The same blob have already stopped greyhound racing in some countries, the Green Party are opposed to any form of sport involving animals and their ratings are holding up. I am glad in a way that I am unlikely to live for more than 5 more years (82 now) as I have been a racing fan for the last 75 years. I already had my livestock farm shut down in 1997 by legislation involving the animal welfare lobby so I am a bit surprised that racing has lasted this long. I remember Ginger McCain back in the days when the Grand National was under threat telling the activists to go after farmers instead and thinking "we are fighting the same people you fool" We stand or fall together in the long run.
Meanwhile cage fighting is encouraged and grooming gangs are thriving. |

The irony sage is that most of the wets on rtv and at the rp for example are in general, fellow travellers. The only reason they object to the perceived threat to gambling freedom is palpably the threat to their own seats on the gravy train. It's like salami slicing with rtv, they are pumping out more and more of a liberalist agenda. Horse racing is one of the only spaces that has remained predominately free of woke and political agendas. But I sense that is also coming to an end, alas. Oily Bell wants racecourses to look more like south London. Good luck with that, son.

Must be the end for on course bookmakers as well then. Unless they're going to conduct a financial wellbeing check on everyone that wants to have a bet with them.
Be with you in a minute luv we're just waiting to hear from experian to see if daves missed any payments on his barclaycard. |

Hulk you are showing that you really know nothing outside of £108 offers on the exchange. On course bookmakers will not be affected by the checks being implemented as the target is remote gambling. hth

Only folks with clean credit reports are permitted on the racecourse. Praps they'll need to flash their clearscore app at the entrance.

Is losing remotely not the same as losing at the racetrack?
