Please be aware a new phone service has been introduced allowing customers to bet from as little as £2.
For those customers unable to bet online or preferring to use the telephone simply call 0844 871 5555. “
m not sure if ATR are tied into a contract to say that they have to show all races live (where possible), whether it be split screen or not – but surely it’s in the best interests of the in-running punters (and there are lots of them) that the races are shown live as they happen.
I think you will find that if a race is being shown by the BBC and also
by ATR [ for example from Ascot ] then ATR will be at least seven
seconds behind the BBC.For that reason ATR ‘ s feed is not really live and is a poor resource
for an in-running punter .Mr Pitterson,s speciality is by the paddock , trying to find winners of races
based on its conformation , appearance etc..He seems to know his stuff but I suppose he’d have to be on a lot more
often , especially in the bigger races at bigger meetings to measure
the value of his opinions .Talking of RUK pundits what happened to Peter Harris , ex
jockey agent , a rolypoly gentleman from South Wales who does not go
in for bland platitudes and is not one of the stuffy squad . I used to enjoy his appearances , usually at Salisbury .I think he may have fallen foul of Angus McNae . Harris turned up
one warm day to share the punditry with McNae who was
obviously displeased that Harris had turned up in a t-shirt , not
shirt and tie . It’s obviously more important what you wear than what
you say .Now he is no longer on RUK , South Wales seems to have no
representative in the racing TV media !.what is it with this forum? I can’t read the end of anyone’s posts in here, the quote button has gone out of site too
.
I am having the same problem , using my usual browser , Mozilla
Firefox . I have switched to Internet Explorer to post this reply
and there is no problem viewing the whole width of a post .Some from GG :
" No room at the inn " [ Horse boxed in or squeezed up ] .
" Lickerty split " [ I think that’s how it’s spelt ] [ Fast pace ] .
" Here comes X with a storming run " and " Don’t rule out X " to describe
horses making slow late progress . These horses never play any part in
the finish . [ When a horse does finish fast to win he usually misses it
until it gets up on the line . ]Angus McNae : " Another win for the in – form Joe Bloggs ‘ stable . Very
well done to him . "You don’t actually need internet access to use Betfair during office hours, just a phone
There is , however , a minimum stake of £ 20 per selection for
telephone bets .I still think that some people do not realise that satellite coverage is a few seconds behind terrestrial television and they are getting their fingers burnt.
I reckon the ATR coverage is about seven seconds behind
terrestial coverage , with RUK a bit quicker .Criikey ! My face is bright red with embarassment ! No , I never noticed
the banners because my trainer always puts the blinkers on me as I’m
only handicap class and musn’t be distracted .
Well, don’t know don’t know what the real going today was.
Whenever I ‘ ve been to Haydock there is no sign or notice indicating what
the going is . [ The same goes for non – runners , change of jockey or
overweights . ]
