Biodiesel where r u based?

Its very easy to get to our room in Dublin -

If you park at the Red Cow you can get a luas right to our door-

Alternatively you could get the train to Heuston and get a Luas from there.

Give me a shout on 0876363098 if you need more info

went into IFSC place today for first time - great location and basically all you'd want in a trading room - 40 quid in means you gotta make it pay obviously.

Report slow jamz March 23, 2010 9:49 PM GMT
a few weeks ago they were going about setting up a facilitiy to deposit and withdraw, should be set up by now.
Report Spinmaster March 23, 2010 10:04 PM GMT
Casn you deposit and withdraw cash in there? Is there a charge for this service?

How come Betfair say this is not possible whenever I ask them?

Tips there's on in Circles Internet Cafe in Clonmel www.circles.ie might be a bit far if you're up by the Limerick border though.

You can deposit and withdraw cash there once you set up an account with them.

I dont understand why betfair customer service say they dont exist as there are a dozen in Ireland that I know off. The BF customer service is by and large rubbish though so it wouldn't surprise me at all if the majority of their staff weren't aware of their exsistence.

Hi Redroar, any chance of posting the location of the other cash facilities or dropping me an email mickgym@yahoo.co.uk as it would suit me better to use this method.
Report Raw Deal March 24, 2010 8:39 AM GMT

You would need to setup a cash account through us

Excuse my ignorance but is there a reason why a punter cant use their own exchange account ?
Report Doyler1987 March 24, 2010 10:37 AM GMT
You can. I've been in there used my own account, you can use the cash account if you dont want it coming up on bank statements etc, or if using cash is handier.
Report heynoodles March 24, 2010 1:51 PM GMT
using cash would be handier to dodge the charge ... how does that work

We have no plans as we're only up and running in Dublin a few weeks.

What is broadband availability like down there??

Broadband would not be a problem or at least it isn't for me-am located in the south-west.

WHILE GOING THROUGH THE WEEKEND NEWSPAPERS STILL ON THE ARM OF MY FAVOURITE ARMCHAIR I CAME ACROSS THIS IN THE SPORTS SECTION OF THE SINDO

Cheltenham 2010 was, in soccer parlance, something like an 8-1 annihilation of punters by the bookmakers. However, in the new IFSC trading room, those betting on each race generally could not care less who won what.
I paid it a visit last week to see could such a venture really take off in Ireland, as none really has up until now. Entrepreneur Graham Fogarty is bullish that he will eventually have more than the five regular patrons coming through his doors, but they will have to be pretty serious punters; it costs Eur40 a day just to use the facilities.
Report heynoodles April 1, 2010 8:31 PM BST
Imo, the best chance an exchange shop has is to help any new customers get a foothold. Either by giving them sound in running advice or a cheap seat for an initial period (a week or 2 weeks or whatever). If the customer leaves after a week you havent lost much (eg at half price they've probably covered your expenses) but it may make the difference in them making it or not. A new customer at the moment is thinking they have got to make a few hundred a week just to break level which adds to the pressure.

A lot of people come into exchange shops thinking that because some people are winning fortunes they will be able to as well but its not that straightforward. The regulars winners have been doing it for years and usually have a good strategy.

Good luck to the shop, more players the better imv.
