Betting Shops - who would go in one now?

When i first started betting in the 80's betting shops were places where people had a laugh and (occasionally) sensibly discussed horse racing and betting. What a difference now. Full of FOBT addicts , a few tramps , open drug dealing and complete knob-ends who want to tell you whats going to win ev...

Played 2 £1 games of this today for the first time. First one gave me an awful choice of subjects - i took a chance with ' Astronomers Royal ' because i wanted to go along the bottom of the trail , but it wiped me out. Second game had £2 , £4 and £6 at the 4th , 6th and 8th positions which is pretty...

Quiz machines not located in pubs

One of my regular games is on a machine located in the entrance hall of a gym/swimming pool. No drink needed , no prying eyes - are there many machines sited in public places as opposed to pubs etc?

I always back Choi and Yang in Majors , hoping for a move today - also backed Senden at 250/1 each way and for First Round leader each way at 150/1 - dropped a shot at the last to drop into an eight! way tie for fifth :shock:

I intended to do Crawley , Leicester and Huddersfield in the same way. I do think i have missed the boat on the prices though and am looking for value elsewhere. Having said that Crawley have the capacity to stroll up next season - i honestly think the Blue Square Premier is stronger than League 2 a...

Open Championship Golf

Some great special offers and betting opportunities as usual at The Open this week. Some firms going 7 or 8 places instead of the usual 5 , however those firms are top price about virtually nobody :-( , instead i like Corals offer of 1/3 odds first 5 and paying out as a winner if your selection come...

Yes , this is the version without an endgame , just the Hex Maniac style progress along the top of the screen. The other battleships game has an endgame which liked giving me amounts such as £1.70 or £1.90 which is annoying.
