Would have thought they're one of the industries best suited to close up physical shops. A main street Paddy Power shop is basically a advert these days surely?
I go to the bookies to do a fiver bet for Soccer Saturday. I don't like the idea of being able to bet on a phone when I'm bored or drunk. It can also cause problems if you want a loan. The bookies are always packed anyway.

Just because it's tradition does not make it right

No not yet there’s still a certain age group of men who would make up most of their business mid-week say who wouldn’t have any online accounts and even at the weekends lads running from pubs into the bookies next door is still quite popular.

Withdrew €1400 earlier in the year and it took 6 days, whereas a €100 withdrawal is instantaneous

Oh well if the gambling addict says so.........

I have the odd football bet , I backed corners in the CL final this year between Liverpool and spurs , as a neutral watching on it made it more interesting , the match was also sh*te , but would you turn off a European cup final cause i wouldn't?

Mistook you, but different doing it now and then than every weekend or not being able to watch a match without a bet

Has happened me before, not for big amounts or anything.
I've done a bet on both teams to score, or over a certain number of goals in a match, get a notification that a goal has gone in, go and hit cash out (the bet is up but it just hasn't updated onto my balance yet) then minutes later after a VAR review the goal is disallowed so they take the money back off you, or if you've already withdrawn it your balance is now a minus number
 
 

Yes it will be absolutely a minus balance but if it's a proper amount of money so what, there is loads of bookies out there. If I earned a lot of money off a blatant price error it wouldn't bother me that I couldn't use that account again unless I paid the money back.

If you are having bets on the number of corners in a game, I would advise deleting your online accounts
