Bookmakers and general Money Laundering on the Dark Web

Flano · April 14, 2011, 6:53pm

They bought over Sportsbet. No plans for retail outlets in the foreseeable future.

The_Dunph · April 14, 2011, 6:58pm

So it’s purely an online presence in Australia? Have they sent staff over there or is everything being orchestrated from Dublin?

Flano · April 14, 2011, 7:29pm

I’d dont want to say too much but I’ll put it this way, I think a lot of top brass reckoned they needed to work on their tan.

SHANNONSIDER · April 15, 2011, 10:39am

Got closed by those tards Blue Square last night. :rolleyes:

Received a late tip for that Tyrur Gasco in the last race at Mecca and had 400 on at SP (6/4) and it won…now all I’m offered is €1.80 on Billy Mayfair’s Three Ball this morning… Jokers.

Is Australian retail betting not 100% government run anyway?

The_Dunph · April 15, 2011, 10:44am

Ah lovely. Epic punting.

You should go to Victor Chandler, the gentleman of bookmaking.

SHANNONSIDER · April 15, 2011, 10:48am

I’ll have to go somewhere anyway. Chandlers closed Walthamstow Dunph, that’s hard to forgive.

There was some talent in McGowan’s last night I must say. Enjoying a can of Lucozade and a Terry’s Chocolate Orange now, a weird yet wonderfully sickly combination.

I went to put €20 on Wexford U21s this weekend with Boyles at 7/4. They’d only let me have €18.50

That’s on top of the Total Excitement bet from last weekend I was telling you about :lol:

SHANNONSIDER · April 15, 2011, 11:57am

Ridiculous stuff, have you brought this up with their senior risk manager Mac?

Mac · April 15, 2011, 11:59am

No but I was tempted to take a screenshot and post it up on Facebook in response to something a mutual friend posted up during Cheltenham

SHANNONSIDER · April 15, 2011, 12:01pm

The_Dunph · April 15, 2011, 12:10pm

Tell us more Mac, i’m intrigued…

The only thing these cowardly cunt bookies understand is being named and shamed. People need to take screenshots and show all and sundry it.

SHANNONSIDER · April 15, 2011, 12:43pm

You’d have more success trying to shame Caligula than shaming a bookmaker, Dunph.

Flano · April 15, 2011, 2:13pm

Indeed, a lot of changes happening with the legislation though. As far as I’m aware SSBTs will are either in the process of being made legal or are already, and will be popping up in pubs etc soon enough.

The_Runt · April 15, 2011, 2:14pm

Aussies are degenerate fucks

SHANNONSIDER · April 15, 2011, 4:10pm

Can’t wait for the SSBTs, it’ll be like going to Tescos.

Flano · April 15, 2011, 6:34pm

They’re already in a few of the PP shops but they’ll be becoming more widespread over the next few months.

SHANNONSIDER · April 15, 2011, 8:07pm

What happens if the Hat Man walks up to one of these bad boys Flano. Will it tell him to fuck off like Lorraine in Goatstown would?

The_Dunph · April 24, 2011, 5:03pm

How popular are self service betting terminals (SSBTs)? I know they have them with William Hill in the UK and Flano says Powers have introduced them now.

Also, are we any closer to seeing the introduction of Macs beloved FOBTs here?

SHANNONSIDER · April 24, 2011, 6:01pm

Ladbrokes routinely pull the plug on these things when certain people walk into a shop, Dunph. Nothing like loading it up with 50s and hammering into a filthy each way on it.
