or what about,

tight finish last week Lingers

I cant pick winner,    Dave Smith ( he who is never wrong) calls no.5. immediately,<br> can still bet 1.6 for next 30 seconds no.5.

still wrong,

<br>must be wonderfull to be so  moralistic ( hope thats right word).

[barry dennis]

not using betfair every time now    better deals about,

<br>perhaps lay and back.

presume first example is o.k. then,

<br>can lay  1.10  horse clear at last

see it make an absolute horlicks(cant resist horsey cliches)

quickly instruct lay(via direct link) horse recovers to finish second,

still o.k.

Mr.Davies,

     I am a licenced bookmaker operating on-course,

I will repeat the so called sharp practices one at a time because they fall into my famous grey areas,

I notice a 6/4 chance bolt to post at thousand mile an hour,

I know this has not been shown on any t.v. (too busy with interviews from presenters)

quickly offer 3.5 (5/2)   £4K  wait until matched then go same price on board,

is that sharp practice.

Betting exchange liquidity  and  time delay being exploited by on-course sharks  were highlighted by my thread last July.

 It was dismissed by the big chief.

[barry dennis]

Andrew,   well done,  thanks for the effort and input,

will leave the 20% issue until I’ve got a spare couple of months.

[barry dennis]

Willoughby, well done, your a star

[barry dennis]

same Paul Cooper

Racing Post headline,

 70% of daily business artificially created.

I agree with you Don, providing they didn’t use clients money, (looks like they did)   they have not commited any offence.

 What difference  me laying even £100K a horse but not having the money in my pocket or in the bank or the immediate means of paying,

(could probably borrow it of D.J. seagull)!!!!

<br>artific ially boosting liquidity is not an offence.

I tried to go oop north once , turned round at Chelmsford, asked somebody the way couldn,t understand them.

         Jock is a mad punter that bets every race often with me, cash for cash, backs winners and losers, his bets certainly dont cause me any alarm.

[barry dennis]

Zorro, you really should get out more, every punter and bookie on the southern circuit(is that how you spell it?) knows Jock, regular face.

[barry dennis]

Blue Square a welcome addition to the game, much needed,

              There aint any on-course bookies, *** earning bundles at the game,  even if they had crooked business they couldn,t earn out of it without showing themselves up

**** deleted a gerald ratner type comment

Ricky, agree perhaps half a dozen races at Lingfield looked a bit dodgy (even went storming round to stewards room demanding an enquiry on one occasion),

If you have attended regularly what pitch (no names) do you think definately played with crooked information,

I cant pick it

[barry dennis]

 40 years on-course experience, not many on here to match that.

          Plenty of times I’ve suspected that one of my colleagues was playing with marked cards regarding certain stables.

               But, times have proven they only thought  they knew,

I get so called information every day,   crooked information would be right every single time, it aint, thats why I laugh at it and take not a blind bit of notice.

 The bookies I suspected,all finished up skint, Ha Ha good job.

I’m afraid you all get carried away with what you want to believe

[barry dennis]

Let me tell you story,<br> <br>Once upon a time unscrupulous people in the racing game, i.e. jockeys, trainers, stable lads, owners, approached on-course bookmakers with information that allowed us to take millions of pounds out of crooked races and we were all happy.

Now they bypass us and go direct to exchanges.

aren’t fairytales wonderful
