[quote=âCaptainshanâ]It was never that as far as Im aware. On the odd occassion they may pay out but only if the player was like at 5-1 in the 2nd after winning the first set when the other player retires.

Fair enough, I think you had something to do with Ivanovics injury. 
It turns my accum from a 6/4 shot into an evens shot. But it looks like itâs going to come up anyways so at least thatâs something.
Having to wait 15 minutes to get paid out 435 euro in a spoilsports. Fucking joke youâd swear it was 5 grand the look on the cunts face giving it out. What kind of a joke bookies doesnât have 435 euro as a float.
Cunt behind the counter, youâd swear it was his money. Sickened him then 2 minutes later when having 20 each way on a gamble in the last in wolverhampton at 10s. Again had to wait for the fucker to open his safe. 2 other lads waiting to get paid out aswell. :guns::guns:

Thinly veiled âLook at me, Iâm really good at gamblingâ
Nothing like that. Iâve put a few winners on the board so not all after timing. Not exactly rocket science. Horse opened 16s into 8s first run since getting a hanidcap mark. Just on a run.
Cunt just pissed me off. Wouldnât have backed the winner only had to wait for him to open the safe. It sickened him when he had to open it a second time

I canât say Iâve every had to make the bookie go to the safe for me so far dues to you montey
If you stuck a gun in a bookies cashierâs face youâd get a better welcome than if you want to back a greyhound.
Itâs not peculiar for you to be moved on after two or three bets in a shop these days, if theyâre the âwrongâ type of bet.
Was talking to a bookie who was at the Curragh yesterday. Normally theyâd hold about 2 or 3 grand for every race on Derby day. They barely held 100 quid for one race yesterday. Turnovers gone way down. He was saying that in 12 months youâll be lucky to find a bookie on the track.
The game is gone. Was talking to a Shelbourne bookie saturday night and he said turnover is gone through the floor.
In all fairness youâd be mad to have a bet at the track. Big over rounds and no âdouble resultâ, all outsiders are much bigger on the exchanges.
With the overheads itâs hard to see where the game is going on-course.

Have you ever been racing in Oz? Didnt realise there was no âon-courseâ bookies there. All Tote based. Some bookies in a shed across the road from the course or something like that. I wonder would it be a decent time to pick up a few pitches on the cheap in the hope it might turn around in a few years.
Iâve never been racing in Oz but Iâm almost certain there are on-course bookies there, Mac.
I think itâs only going one way Mac, with all new punters growing up in the internet era itâs hard to see betting with an old man at the track becoming a growing business. There are only a few days a year now which are keeping the rest of the year going. Galway, Christas meetings, Punchestown etc. Apart from that itâs dead.

Must have crossed wires so. There was one course near Randwick where all the books were based in a shed across the road from the course. Wasnât there myself. Going off second hand info from someone who was.
Youâd think the big days would pay for the rest of the year but they were all cleaned out by Ruby this year. Lads who never even knew what a horse looked like made a fortune by following him. Especially in Punchestown. Makes a change for them to be suffering all the same!
been to a good few races in oz- randwick,ascot & doomben
allhad on course bookies as did the greyhounds

I have been misinformed - I retract my earlier allegation
6,666th post for Macparty.
Iâve nearly matched by vcash!
Bought Veitchâs book earlier today and read a few chapters this evening. Found it hard to put down to be honest, and it hasnât even got into the nuts and bolts of his gambling strategy yet.

Thatâs fairly pitiful alright. I hate the way some of the cunts then think itâs their own money they are handing out. The women are the worst for this i find.
Bookie is singing the blues after 15,000 own goal
By Louise Hogan

A CHAIN of betting shops was left feeling a little blue yesterday after a âmistakeâ left it facing a five-figure payout over the Dublin GAA sideâs thoroughly convincing weekend victory.
William Hill, which has 2,300 shops in Britain and Ireland, offered punters odds of 10/1 on Dublin to beat Westmeath by 13 points or more in Sundayâs Leinster Senior Football Championship clash.
The boys in blue duly obliged the punters by claiming victory by a resounding 27 points, with Dublin finishing 4-26 to Westmeathâs 0-11.
Yesterday, William Hill admitted the generous odds were down to âhuman errorâ.
One eagle-eyed Dublin GAA supporter had placed several bets after spotting an advertisement from William Hill both in a newspaper and on screens in their betting shops with âquite generousâ pricing.
Winnings
The punter, who is awaiting a payout of 10,000 in total, visited William Hillâs shop in Drumcondra on Sunday morning before the Croke Park match.
He said they had contacted their British office before taking his bet of 200.
âI had a couple of bets on it. I took a chance they (Dublin) might cut loose after the last day,â the GAA fan said.
However, when he went to collect his winnings yesterday he was left empty-handed.
The bets were not paid out immediately in the shops as they had to be checked after it emerged an error had been made.
Tony Kenny, a spokesman for William Hill, said: "It was human error. We made a mistake but we are paying out on all the bets that were put on. These things happen from time to time.
He added: "Most people who took the price knew they were onto a bit of a good thing.
âIt probably should have been half the price it was.â
Mr Kenny estimated conservatively that they would be paying out 15,000 over the error in shops, but no figure was available on the internet betting.
He pointed out that there wasnât a massive market for the bets on winning margins, with some made in Dublin and a few small bets in Kildare and in Arklow.

Since the track re-opened in kilkenny again, the betting is flying. They now have 7 bookies standing on a Friday night, and getting on is not an issue. Turning over 30k most Friday nights.
In fairness to the lad in the tribune on Sunday he normally puts up a decent one. He put up Dublin by 15+ or something at 11/1 at the weekend
