@brodders_be Yep. I'm sure you remember the glorious blonde poker sports betting era. When Graham aka "Chompy" popped up with some left field shout. You looked at feasible accounts and tailed the division 3 top goalscorer recomendation blind.
@ScottPr84@horsevault Nobody did racing better than Alastair. The cadence of his voice, combined with his unequivocal love of Cheltenham echoed more times than I care to remember. He'd set the scene on the day's television, you'd grab the Racing Post the following day and he'd serve it up in words.
@BettingSitesCom I was a teenager/early 20s still living at home and I got the Romford videos via cassette from Vincent. My late dear departed mother spotted a leaflet that fell out of a package. An ad for a video of the montage of Scurlouge performances. The greatest Christmas present ever.
Superb night of greyhound racing ahead. Very grateful to the team behind Gone To The Dogs Live and Star for sponsoring. Without them the most magnificent canines alive would be running for a bowl of rice in front of just a handful of diehards.
@MattWalluk Why do you punish shop punters by having shorter prices available for them, than online, and pertinently as listed in the RP, which shop punters read? Do better.
@quarterfirst4 In a different universe you'd be his apprentice. Outside of the crooks who could never lose, he was one of the accounts that stimulated the premium charge conversation.
Look at the theoretically available liquidity on betfair for the PGA championship. Over the last quarter of a century I've known numerous people (both pro's and recreational punters alike) deposit a lump to have a crack at one in a major to win 6 figures. Now half aren't allowed!
Star sports utterly beguiled by the Eubank Junior and Father reunion. Now bottle Benn again. Rumours Roland De Wolfe possibly in the corner and Lofty and Kaan signalling top of the head to the Guv.
@JackARacing I've tailed you in on a fair few of your book recommendations Jack, nearly all enjoyable. A couple I'll pass back that will be to your taste for sure, Red Notice (Bill Browder) and Bad Blood (John Carreyrou)
Across the land it will sadly only be known as the 4.07 at Towcester. It should be live on the bbc. Instead we get Bill Werbeniuk v Graham Dott where the only interesting markets are the overs total pints drunk, and unders 16 breaks.
@keiththecamel Try and back into the betting game Keith. 125k per annum, you'd be absolutely top class as a head of trading in one of these comical firms. What were you on Blue Squirrel 22 years ago? I'm going 40-45 even a quarter century ago.
Easily the most amusing thing about betting twitter is the congratulatory theatre you will receive if you nail an 11/2 winner in a boxing match up. Whilst if you napped the 11/2 fav of an 18 runner sprint, you'll have zero bouquets thrown at your feet.
