Who is telling porkie pies, A or B ?
What are UK journalists ever going to do to expose these stories?
Have Stan James now let the cat out of the bag as to why the levy is fast disappearing?
Is the BHA communication Director not the very last one who’s account should be restricted?
Why should BHA account holders get all the gravy over us banned punters?

Punters enjoyed a Royal Ascot to remember at the expense of the bookmakers who were left cursing the worst results in living memory.
"Punters have never had it so good. Every single day they’ve given us a
right royal bashing," said Ladbrokes’ David Williams.
"Nobody at Royal Ascot can remember a meeting where we’ve suffered such punishment. We can’t wait to get out of Royal Berkshire so we can lick our wounds in a darkened room.
"Thank goodness for the England football team. They are our only salvation in a week of misery for the bookies."
It was "carnage" according to William Hill spokesman David Hood."It has been carnage, no other word for it," he said.
"The two biggest gambles of the week were landed by Dandino and Laddies Poker Two and if Imposing had gone in, there wouldn’t have been enough cash on-course to pay punters!
"They have literally won tens of millions of pounds this week."
Totesport told a similar story, with spokesman George Primarolo adding:
"Punters have clawed back their Cheltenham losses and more after a woeful week for the layers.
"At this rate, we’ll need Honduras to win the World Cup to make the balance sheet look respectable."
Irish bookmaker Paddy Power described it as the "worst Festival meeting ever".
"This has not only been the worst Royal Ascot we have endured, but also the worst Festival meeting we have ever experienced," Power said.
"We have been royally ridden over by punters and there hasn’t been one good day for us.
"Today was terrible and the only good result of the week was in the Gold Cup. Certainly a week to remember for punters!"

"Pull the Struthers one

Being the public face of British horse racing doesn’t always pay off. The BHA’s communications director, Paul Struthers logged on to the website of bookmakers Stan James to have a bet on a horse at Royal Ascot during the
week, only to be offered a maximum stake of 60 pence each-way.
"I phoned up and asked what the problem was, given that I’d only had about six bets with them before, and they said that as I worked in the industry my account had been marked as restricted," said a bemused Struthers."

Keep up the bemusement then Paul, communicate, direct and FFS do something about it!!

A : Propaganda.

B : Inappropiate.

Backing two runners is the relentless pursuit of value. Backing each way is a shortcut to the poor house. Only 7% make a long term profit.
