shannon trading room closed

what powers got to do with it

nothing really, just adding a little houmor to a sad story. :(

why did it close? what were they charging? How many used to use it?

not eough punters i'd say..
there next door to the busiest PP in munster!!!

think he has a shop or two in co limk also

log of mugs an desperados around that part so!

It closed because the major players were being charged the premium and they made it unsustainable.I went down there a few times and it used be good.There was a heavy feller from Cork somewhere used to be a regular.Got talking to him and he told me he was getting bombs out of the in running stuff.Another lad from Kerry used be there and he was knocking it right off but he seemed alot more selective maybe one or two bets a day.He was real cool too,you would never know whether he had a bet in a race or not.

was down there myself once or twice,got talking to a heavy lad from kerry,i was fairly heavy going in there myself but i'll tell ya i was very light coming out..

Just remembered the Cork fellers name.They used called him Boris,not sure was that his nickname or his real name.He had a new Audi car and often had a sidekick in the front seat.I think they used call him Bobbybocala.

In theory a good idea , but eventually they will finish up betting against the guys on the course , as those of us with delayed pictures ( probably 99% of us ) avoid serious in running betting like the plague .

Add in premium charge which should affect those with the built in advantage as they should not lose very often , and sums maybe dont addup . Plus the time commitment .

it wasnt known as the nudist colony for nothing....

A mate of mine was over with a horse of his auld lads in Wolverhampton the other week and he stayed in the Holiday Inn that is attached to the track. His room overlooked the parade ring and every room had ATR, RUK and the raw feed from closed circuit course TV. The same fella is married, so he would never consider it, but a man could have a right night there. Back a few paddock picks, back a few in-running winners, then spend the winnings on one of Wolverhamptons finest ladies of the night and have her delivered straight to your hotel room. That is surely the perfect setup for a serious player???

maybe thats where boris and his tanker went....the wolverhampton curryhouses would be an attraction..

jesus thats strange galway anytime I met that boris fella he told me he couldnt buy a winner and was naked from the game ,he seemed genuine and didnt strike me like a lad to tell porkies

the P.C is **. PP an BS must notice a increase in business now

who's tis boris fella??

donegal he told me he was a farmer from west cork who got fed up of gettin up early and workin very long days so he decided to sell out and went on a bout of gambling poor auld soul.I bet he wishes he stayed at the honest toil

must be gettin mixed up here boris has no blisters on his hands from heavy toll on the land.... may be gettin grey from tellin porkies

just to fill ye in lads it looks like" no more bets "for myself and big borris

heard boris is sad case now with the drink

word on the street is boris is playing the tradeing rooms in london still a big player
