Good, outrageous practice...maybe if they were made to close 10 big losers for every big winner it would stop it dead

Is there a concerted effort to make London Road a desirable location ? Will it become a tattoo free zone in 2015 ?

Interesting to see how that pans out, ive had restrictions placed on a couple of accounts before, *******s.

Same here looney, ****ing annoying it is.

Can't believe this is still on-going. Working on London Road (sadly) and being a somewhat 'regular' in the William Hill there - know who that scruffy bunch in the picture are, I can safely say that his banning has very little to do with his 'success'.

Ladbrokes in First Ave shut now too, I hope the Golden Triangle in Hove remains untouched

I can guess, some gamblers are self absorbed monomaniacs it inevitable they start winding other punters up, I could write a long list but some of the common ones.

1. anoying cheering, jockeys rather than horses, distracting and you cant hear the commentry or understand what one theyve backed.

2. Quick to put a winning slip under your nose, continually give shit tips that are apparently "stable information".

These types are quick to come abusive towards staff or other punters when challenged or more commonly told to put a sock in it.

Every one in that shop knows Gary Moore . Or more realistically one of them saw him up Cowley Drive once .

In essence, that! Wouldn't be surprised if it was an internal complaint by staff due to the abuse they get despite being by all accounts utterly decent chaps. We've done a few at our place, and not had any local news stories yet.

Amazed, used to be a lot of high rollers when I used to go there always on the blower for £500 referrals, tons of wealthy retired, drug suppliers & knocker boys. Great crowd

its like going in and trying to stake 20 grand on an even money shot in a 3 horse race when the other 2 are at odds of bigger than 3s, they wont do it

The other two horses would never be at those odds because that is obviously a losing book,by about 4% off the top of my head.

the Overround for that is 116%

 

[8ace]

100% book if the other two are exactly carpet, it's overbroke if they are any bigger.

 

[Nottseagull]

the Overround for that is 116%

I'm only familiar with traditional odds, so if 'the other 2 are at odds of bigger than 3s' then they must be at least 100-30 each, so let's stake £24 on both; then we'll have £52 on the favourite. Outlay £100, guaranteed return £104

BTW there's a good 12 minute mini-documentary about FOBTs here

I had a couple of large pick ups in that shop recently- for someone else unfortunately ! It was very quiet and i had a chat with the manager on duty at the time. A decent bloke who had been in the game a long time, real old school. He said how few people bet on the horses/dogs these days and just pump money in the machines.
The shop seemed busier when it was in Baker Street.
