Unfortunately for me Friendly Soul was my main bet of the day. It was looking good till it stuck its leg in a sink hole. Surely bets should be refunded in this instance? Also what a let down for those at Haydock today. It’s a meeting i normally attend but thankfully today I had other commitments.
What is am trying to say is restricting stakes is one thing but removing each way is changing the whole playing field of betting not staking
Spent a lot of money to be here and not looking good to be on. Should have went to Greece for the Scotland game
Ahoy Senor each way for me. 66-1 is a cracking price. It just needs the stars to align
Would have been nice if Patrick bothered weighing in on Lucinda’s horse
Backed it each way at 20’s with 365. To be honest I didn’t think they would reclaim my winnings, but they have.Corach Rambler is worth following this season. They are only playing with ths horse at this point.
To be honest I’m going to go back to doing placepots. Cash in the bookies gets me out the house and a cup of tea in the bookies.
I get that but I have been betting on this account for 15 plus years. Most years as a loser. To just close me out without giving a reason other than our trading team have reviewed your account and you are restricted is unfair but that’s how ***** roll I guess
I didn’t realise it was that bad. Starting to regret having a good Aintree now
Ive not bet on the exchanges for years as I’m mainly an each way on outsiders punter. Might have to revisit them though if the William Hill account I have just opened is the same. Thanks for the reply 
Ginge I’ve never been called woke before but I will take that as a complement. Big G what happened on the southside of Glasgow was a beautiful thing and it’s sh1t like that makes my country what it is. Ginge says there is no empire anymore, well give us a few years and there will be union either hopefully.
Have you got a degree in stereotyping? or do you let me guess come from the school of hard knocks??
As I earlier stated I don’t think the time is right for the indy ref 2. We need fresh impetus as in a new leader or the emergence of an alternative indy party. I do think you are doing the 16-17 age band an injustice though as large percentages of all age bands fail to understand the economic implications and I have more concern about how the older demographic decide to vote than the younger end.
I genuinely didn’t realise that uk expats get a vote. Pretty bizarre that people are getting a vote on something that isn’t affecting their day to day living. Seriously wrong in my opinion.
Some interesting points Ginger. It is true that unionists parties had a very tiny majority but amongst the 22 odd percent that voted Labour there is a lot of independence votes. Why would Scots living out of Scotland get a vote? Do UK expats get a vote in general elections? The votes for 16 and 17 years old is also very interesting as the engagement from this age range has been fantastic. My son is 16 and is very engaged in politics and took his right to vote very seriously. The point about refugees is seriously pathetic as you get to vote in Scotland the same as England if registered. Its **** like this that will drive the independence vote so don’t stop.
I have been a long time lurker to the forum through my love of racing and also hoping to pick up the odd decent tip but I had no intention of being a contributor as that isn’t really my thing. After reading this topic I wanted to give a bit of perspective as a working class Scot. I have craved independence for my country all my adult life and although the vote in 2014 didn’t go the way I hoped it was clear from the spread of the vote generation wise that independence is a certainty in time.
I am still 100% certain that independence will come but I have reservations about the timing now. I don’t believe Nicola Sturgeon has the heart for the fight that will come and it’s become a bit of a cliche up here but she’s become a bit of a career politician and has taken her eye off the independence cause. Brexit was so unpopular in Scotland and still is that anyone with drive of an early Salmond would have had Independence at the forefront of everything the Party did and the Polls would of reflected this in spades. The passion in the population is there and just need re ignited, we just have to be very careful to wait for the right time and the right person to take us there.
