Bookies have far far too much say and involvment for my liking. A lot of the courses have changed too. I.e Cheltenham have taken away a fence on the courses. Horses that should cruise races getting turned over by horses that you would otherwise expect to just be fit to plough a field. Just does not have the same feel to it like it used to in the days of say Florida Pearl, Flagship Uberalles, Teeton Mill etc. Again. Bookmakers heavy involvement has got a major factor in all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the saddest sights is always when I walk past a high street bookies in the morning and see it already half full of scruffy looking blokes.

Judging by the look of them they certainly aren't beating the bookie! Don't get me wrong, I don't have any gambling problem or an addicted as such and I agree, I absolutely detest FOT's fixed odds terminals / Routelette machines. I have seen what people are before they dabble on them and to then what these machines do to people - They are heroin without the needle! End of. I do like a little flutter now and again and view jump racing as a bit of a hobbie mostly. I will build a nice little pot for say the Cheltenham festival only (not a fan of flat) with 'What I am prepared to lose' if nothing came of my selections of the 4 days, il also have the odd flutter here and there of a weekend when viably possible. Instead of spending over £1000 a year on playing the lottery and euro millions 8 times over the 4 draw days, I use it at Cheltenham over the 4 days instead. But over all the say and impact bookmakers have is overpowering and is holding a massive influence over jump racing and on occasions football and other sports too, whilst not content with the sway on other sports as such; most betting organisation's now rely on these "FOT's due to the amount the generate - way beyond all the other sports betting markets on offer in that shop combined, and also it is massively marketed how easy it easy to now bet online from anywhere anytime too. The removal of such machines would see the closeure of almost 60% of high street bookmaker branches. Combine this with bookies now playing clearings in the woods on occasions when it comes to big meaty payouts, betting has all changed dramatically for the worse and even harder for punters now then it was say 10/12 years ago. A transition that's now left a battlefield that basically see's it even harder than ever for punters to win and/or even be allowed to win big at that (going by some stories and certain sites rules) yet in this same time frame it's became dramactically easier to obtain money from Joe Publics' pockets than ever before on an obscene scale through various avenues. When the fun stops, stop!.. All very well this campaign existing, but an advert or a little sticky label echoing this does not stop my addicted chasing crave from inserting £20 note after £20 note into these machines or even to watch Ruby Walsh fall off your horse at the last fence. - "We love you Paddy" indeed! If you ask me, the fun stopped around 10 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
