    Even an IT dinosaur can’t go wrong with the bookies’ apps. As long as you own a smartphone, download the apps- gives you far more choice than limiting yourself to a couple of phone accounts, which are in decline.

    Use to have one with Ladbrokes many, many years ago
    the time it took to give them my details and then for them to find the bet I wanted to place the race was over
    Would recommend a online account personally

    To place a telephone bet with Ladbrokes call: 0800 777 888 if dialling from uk
    If doing it this way, I would again personally put money onto a Ladbrokes odds on card from the shop that way if you lose, you will only lose the amount on the card rather than be tempted to chase losses from a bank card

    Switching from betting shop to phone account in 2022 is like switching from Betamax to VHS videos – both became obsolete years ago.

    Smartphone>apps>online accounts – it’s the way forward.

    Don’t think St Gatien can get connected to online from his phone

    Thank you all for the advice.

    Perhaps I should move into the
    modern era. Can you transfer money into an account rather than use a debit card for each transaction. I do so worry about
    using card.

    I have a separate bank card for online transactions
    Helps me with discipline as once that has gone I have to top it up at Nationwide, makes it hard to chase losses and if you get hacked or whatever the internet fraud thing is you are only losing what you have on that card
    I never use my main bank card online

    You can probably do bank transfer.

    Bet365 do the best opening offer – £100 in free bets once you’ve bet £100 it was when I joined and they do loads of offers.

    Until you consistently win, that is.

    Make hay while the Sun shines with Denise and the Stoke-On-Trent boys, that’s my advice.

    I’m sure you can walk into Paddy Power and Ladbrokes and pay over the counter which can be transferred to an online account.

    ‘Bet365 do the best opening offer – £100 in free bets once you’ve bet £100 it was when I joined and they do loads of offers’

    I obviously had the best of it with them, Tim.

    They’re tightening up.

    St Gatien set off last night for his 12 mile walk into town
    He was walking his cow who he is hoping to sell at the market and use the money to set up the telephone account
    he set up camp 6 miles from town, a simple sleeping bag, knitted by his nan on a warm spring evening was sufficient
    before he lay his head down he shared a bottle of water which he had filled up when passing a stream with the cow
    This morning approx 04:35 he awoke and discovered the cow had been stolen. Just as St Gatien was thinking about writing a letter to the local constabulary he remembered that he left his feather pen and ink pot behind at home.
    He was just to turn around and go home when he saw a note left to him from none other than bet365
    it read

    “Dear valued customer,
    We have traded your cow for 1,000 pound sterling credit,
    you must turn this over 1 million times before withdrawing any winnings
    the odds of each bet must surpass 16/1 anything lower will not count toward turnover
    you have 30 days and 30 nights in which to complete your turnover
    beating SP on a consistent basis will result in your stakes toward turnover being reduced to 50p
    if turnover is not met within the time period we reserve the right to withhold any winnings
    you must place the bets via phone
    phone calls cost £8 per minute
    good luck”
