Evening all. Arctic. If you look at all the charts in the gaming sector April / may is a sell off traditionally especially with a lot a negativity by the media of late. Yield is strong and has growth so sub 9.00 ( unlikely) ill load up again. Man U oh what fun we've had lol. Writings on the wall when Danny welbeck puts a transfer request in. Fekin lol. Lol he ain't good enough to put a burnley top on lol. Hodgson out if him and cleverly are rio bound! Miss france in the 1000 guineas. Have £2 k place/win on a 14/1 average. She looks class 2 weeks to go. Gl all

Yeah bubba Watson lol. Running away with it. Small bit on matt kuchar just now at 46/1. Good player. Good shout on your footy bets. All in. Having a grand treble tomorrow. Bournemouth Preston Everton all win. Gl all

Keith is right and dont take his comments as pedantic he's telling you how it is and how it works. Betfair has the money so it has the market. Remember betdaq cost 30 million euro so to compare it to betfair at this stage is plain ridiculous. Bet has 10 year head start and has successfully incorporated its exchange and sportsbook to reap the rewards ( read last 4 trading updates) millions i mean millions on proper advertisement promoting its unique business. As opposed to adverts showing cammy in the shower or some 2 bob fake italian stroking a hedgehog offering you your money back if your house gets struck by lightning or whatever student/teenager offer there promoting.

The bookmaker sees the exchange as a way of hanging on to current customers who place some of their bets with Betfair, whose peer-to-peer model can offer better odds for some types of wagers. However, that may require considerable marketing spend. It's had betdaq for 15 months now and still posted 3 way below profit warnings. Betfair demise? To funny

Yep you got it mate

Derby. Home and hosed after 30 mins. Unbelievable went 1-0. Down. Honestly say I stuck another £500 on. Men v boys arctic fox. 7 loan players out of contract No manager. One win in 17..derby just to good Yes some bets of £1500 and above go to a trader from time to time . Gutted I missed Brighton, had a thought the Leicester team might be hung over. Lol. Gl al.

Ran very well and was giving the winner many pounds. Didn't fancy him as I thought the trip would stretch him. His ol foe big shoe was 4lb better and I fancied him to run well but was brought down by the loose horse. Hey no. All. Huge bet on derby tomorrow. I mean HUGE @11/10. Had to do it with bet365/paddy and lad. Wouldn't take anymore than £1500 each

Ultimately the Gov have got their claws out for the fobts. The worry is where will it end? Worse case scenario is the machines will be now longer be able to accept cash! Should it be a complete clampdown It's impossible to police restriction when cash is involved . This would pretty much send the machines to the grave. I'm not suggesting for one minute this is a proposal it's merely my own thought , would be interested to hear other posters view on this. Until we get clarity this along with Billy's looks very cloudy short term. Re shop managers I agree have heard that many a time mate. Gl all

Waiting for the decent races. Miss france is a horse I like and am currently stake building for her 1000 guineas run in May. Football bets have been pretty poor although came close on a few accas recently. Norwich ( had draw ) and blackpool (draw also ) let me down for £6 k Saturday £80 six fold take was £215 at it highest ( pool 2 down :( ) so got greedy in the hope of a turn around. Anyone have any joy on national.? A decent winner ran well

Montys guide to backing winners. Hardback in bad condition. Several careless owners . Offers in excess of a new shirt to replace one lost over the weekend . Misty glad you had a good day. Handicaps = nightmare. Lol

SHARES in bookmakers William Hill and Ladbrokes dropped on Monday morning following the news that David Cameron is looking to stamp down further on gaming machines in betting shops. The prime minister is seeking to curb what he believes are the excesses of the betting and gaming industry and the markets have reacted by shaving just over two per cent off the share price of Ladbrokes (down 3p to 136.9p) and nearly two per cent off William Hill (down 6p to 338.7p) at 9am on Monday. The predicted move against gaming machines, which could be revealed as early as Wednesday, comes shortly after the surprise announcement from the chancellor George Osborne to raise duty on the machines to 25 per cent from 20 per cent in last month's Budget. Furthermore, Cameron is thought to be unhappy with the voluntary code of conduct recently brought in by the Association of British Bookmakers believing it does not go far enough to protect players. A strengthening of the code to make it mandatory instead of voluntary is thought to be among Cameron's plans while the Gambling Commission are investigating whether limits on the machines are too high. Commenting on the possibility of a further move against gaming machines, Goodbody's Gavin Kelleher said: "It looks like it could be another volatile week for UK bookmakers and given the uncertainty William Hill and Ladbrokes in particular are best avoided until there is some form of clarity."

Having a £30 double on Walkon and Andy Carroll to score first. Ones a big fat lazy donkey that only does well from time to time and is probably not 100% fit but hey ho. The other one is running in the national lol

No joke. Kate massini looks ok. Handicap debut so again keep eye on price But milor de la borie iOS on ground I think will suit and will like the step up in trip I'm sure. Lol. Gl

Watched a few races from the archive. I think May be some time 1.20 looks fit and could go close Paddy B booked so in good hands. Now. The form book suggests sidbury hill in the 5.55 is unbeatable but keep a close eye on rock the kasbah price! Stays solid and gets nibbled at then he might be worth a small punt. 5.25 mighty mobb looks weighted to win so he could run well on ground he will like. Gl mate. Hope you have a good day National. Walk on Long run and big shu. £5 forcast combi (£30) Gl all. If McCoy was on long run he would be as short price fav as we have seen in 20 years.

Betdaq activity seems to be increasing and I have (finally ) noticed an advertisement during/before/after in football and horse racing. Most of the bad laundry has well and truly been hung out and the sector has been left alone by the media of late. Iam tempted to dip the ol rob Lowe in on these prices but Glynn doesn't fill me with confidence . Far from a vintage Cheltenham regards quality and as a previous poster has commented it was definitely a bookies festival. Still on radar

Hi Kate. Good to hear from ya. Chepstow! Your at the wrong track m8 lol. National Saturday I will have a look at try and get a run for your money will post them on here Friday night when the declarations are in. Generally don't bet in handicaps except Cheltenham and aintree As for the national I'm gonna chance walkon at 60/1. Obviously Walkon is unproven over the trip, but he seemed to enjoy the big fences when second to Triolo d'Alene in the Topham Trophy there last season, and that form looks solid enough after the winner followed up in the Hennessy at Newbury in November. With a name like that on a sunny day in aintree the price will only lower and will lay it off before the curtains raised.

Always a good move 8 weeks before agm. A straight bat answer to any disgruntled investor questions, and I'd imagine they will be many. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/ladbrokes-boss-richard-glynn-gets-85-pay-hike-112334655.html

Been saying that for 18 months , rivals spent millions on advertising and IT/software Lad were converting kebab and old laundrettes shops up! Crazy Glynn sold up £1.50 and still sits on the top table. One complete failure. still have on watch list and was ready to buy at 148/52 range but invested elsewhere . It bounced off the 1.20s pretty quick so hopefully for folk on here it stabilises . But long term? Not sure id be investing until Glynn goes in the summer. And that's pretty much a cert.

Very good! Just think 3 years ago lad nearly took this over for 270 million. A bet Glynn is kicking himself. Still

Merger with coral more likely . Did at one point believe a takeover was possible but 1.8 billion buyout/offer just can't see it, not after 3 profit warnings, shop closures and new government legislations etc
