I see the figure of Ā£1,200 given in the article. I thought they got paid out a lot more than that.
I think a share of the same lads were involved in this
Wow what a win Ā£1200.Irelands greatest ever coup.Yer man must have been riding some right auld hag if winning the price of a second hand car was better than sex,or Kerry winning an All Ireland

@Smark I was thinking of you earlier listening to the nick luck show. Neil Channing told a great story about winning the paddy power poker tournament in Dublin a few years back. They had an odds compiler at the event and He made Channing 200/1 to win it out. There was 600 players and after the halfway point he was 30th over all and still 100/1. So he stuck 500 quid on himself to win it out.
He ends up winning it out ( I think the first prize was 500k.) Paddy power was presenting the cheque with An odds compiler and he just dropped it in that they owed him a few extra pound. Noel Hayes was the odds compiler

I was looking at a few bets on pp a few minutes ago and noticed spurs were 5/1 to win the league. I was interested in seeing the market effect on the van dijk injury.
I logged on here and notice the Jose busted flush thread was being posted on. I checked the scores and see itās 3 all.
I logged back onto Pp and they already had spurs back out to 12s
What a shambles of an outfit.

Thats a belter.
Did he get paid? Is that why Hayes never lasted more than a few years in a job
Yep he did.
Hayes is a mysterious enough man heās spending big money and every time you think heās going to go bust he lands a big win. That horse that won in the curragh last week would be very valuable. I wouldnāt be surprised if heās a front for somebody else to be honest.
Well if he was it wouldnāt be the first time something like that got him in bother

Yes I remember that. Heās playing high stakes poker anyway with flat horses. Youād burn a million quid in a flash. Iād love to know how heās kept the show on the road.
Well he got out of Charles brynes place as quick as he got in. In fairness heās had a great run with paddy Twomey.
Sure he had a clatter of horses with OāCallaghan and it looks like that didnāt end well. He was in the Sunday Racing thing which also looks like it didnāt end well. He was with the other Prendergast for a while too. Heās burned through more industry contacts than Emmet Kennedy at this stage
