A remarkable individual for a shortarse – I refer, of course, to Richard Hills, NOT to Glenn.
I’ve no problem with criticism of the BHA per se, I just think they probably feel they can’t win.
If the BHA feel they can’t win then possibly, just possibly, for the first time EVER, they finally know how the average punter feels.
I consider £20 a month, to keep Nick Luck in the lifestyle to which he has become accustomed, a small price to pay.
Seeing I was on Kris Kin at long odds for the Derby and, seeing as he picked it up and carried it over the line, I don’t much care if he’s a serial killer on his days off, personally.
He wouldn’t be my first choice for next Pope, though.
”How can the light that burned so brightly suddenly burn so pale?”
If not free beer, then almost certainly free rabbit pie all round.
The racing world forgave Lester Piggott his tax evasion, so why not Fallon?
I personally think a crook is a crook – that said, a crook can still be en elite sportsman and still be celebrated as such.
This thread certainly brings back memories, most of which are best kept to myself. All I’d say is that I think Greg Wood is the best racing journalist around.
It will be interesting to see how the remaining bricks and mortar UK FOBT/virtual racing-infested betting outlets get treated going forwards
The French should not be allowed to run horses in our races.
The only good Frenchman is the one in the restaurant kitchen cooking my dinner.
They seems to have forgotten who got occupied by the Germans in WWII and who didn’t.
I think Betfair should have to pay windfall tax – oh, and Barry Dennis should have to pay carbon emissions tax.
Non-triers prior to the advent of betting exchanges?
Surely not?
Mind you, that Flockton Grey was one big f*cker for a 2yo.
100% books aren’t any good to anyone if the prices are correct – successful gamblers need overpriced horses, not necessarily low overrounds.
So true, something that occurred to me back in the year 2000. But not a strong selling point for the exchange concept so best to keep schtum about it, I felt.
The internet has increased efficiency and communications across the globe and in this sphere it has resulted in the betting exchange and the efficient, stable, market. Ultimately, all outcomes should be at their correct price hence there is so edge for anyone and the only long-term winner is the operator via the commission.
However, there are still market fluctuations and winners and losers on exchanges so that day has not yet been reached.
Dear Throwback, at first I thought you had given up on the game – "the only long-term winner is the operator via the commission" – then I read on and realised that you are still a hopeful romantic. Keep exploiting the market fluctuations when they come. As they always will.
