Paddy Power . Absolute Bluffers

At least give us 1 or 2...

Betting is not as simple as ur making it out to be....or am I missing something.
Otherwise you would be a millionaire I'm afraid

He is beating then when he's taking their cash!

I'm trying that with the auld rollerblading but its difficult

AH yeah, sure enough, it becomes available when it's less than the value of the bet.....***ts!

Cash out is terrible on PP.Its cash out in name only.

Cash out is only available at the bookmakers discretion as have had few interactions with bet365 over it so left them after their site kept crashing on sat afternoons on me to go to skybet and on dec 26th their site crashed

You cant really complain when you know this is what happens. Betting is a mug's game and that is a fact. You will never beat the bookie so my advice is to give it up

You are spot on SGB. But bookmakers can be beaten if you have incredible patience and discipline. I select my markets very carefully

Greyhound markets.
Distance betting

Match betting on all weather handicaps. You don't realise the amount of non triers in these races. Get word from trainers. Check speed form and timeform Stats handicap marks and stats There is normally 2 or 3 match bets pitting horses against each other per race. If you study these you will see that some of these horses in match bets are almost impossible to finish in front of the horse they are against. The price might be 8/13 or 1/2 but they only have to beat 1 other horse and in generally it's very profitable


At the end of the day all bookmakers just want the 2 euro or 5 euro punter in their shops. That's how they make their money

€250 small bet for a bit of Sunday interest. Probably should have covered the bet, didn't think of it as I was cursing Powers too much.

The bookmakers were all in on the act . There was about 5 punters at the track and we're all in on it too. The dog was about 3 seconds quicker than any other dog in the race. The bookmakers priced the dog up at 4-1 on the basis that no1 on the track would back it. In reality he was a 1/3 shot. Anyway the dog was backed in bookmakers shops in small stakes. No price was taken . Ie 50 small 10 er bets throughout London shops at sp. Anyway the dog pissed up by 11 lenghts at 4-1. Every body went home happy.

I know almost nothing about dog racing.  Do the chains not have their own pitches at dog tracks the same as they do at race courses?
