Definitely not a LAD holder. I hate the place, I have been a solid gambler for years and never warmed to the layout, slips etc (OCD).
I 100% agree with you why have shops at all when in people are basically carrying them around in their pockets. I guess what I was trying to say was that High St bookies have that initial draw to new punters. In particular casual ones which often bet infrequently on events like the WC. They are not interested bet exchanges (at least initially). They just want to place a bet and these are the places they have heard of because they have seen them with their own eyes. In time this will all change, but not significantly in the next year or 2, and certainly not before the WC.
I am not invested in any Gaming shares although I would like to invest both in Betfair and Will Hill. I will be steering clear of Ladbrokes don't think they have much of a future unless they really change the way they do things, in particular towards mobile betting etc. Just waiting on things to settle down before I by in. I would rather wait for a bottom than try to predict it.
Cheers good luck with your bets guys. I am off tomo so early rise to watch the latest installment of FED vs RAFA
