@RacingPost U couldnt make it up 😂

Haydock's two-day meeting starting on Friday has been cancelled after the track failed its Tuesday inspection ❌

@racingoncourse CLUELESS !

Locations for this Saturday’s afternoon racing. Who knew racing was a spectator sport?

BOOM !

@cmoreton99 @MrTimeform In the end they coulnt make it pay oncourse in some of , if not the best pitches in the land 😲😂

William Hill's ante-post book for the 1979 Derby, showing liabilities for each horse. Only credit clients bets are shown and not the huge volume of betting the firm would accommodate on course and in their betting shops...

@SimonNott @TeamMatchbook Then he turned around and said " umbrellas down " 😲

@SimonNott Yes Simon , from a betting point of view i wonder who could possibly benefit from laying plenty of small bets only ( at the wrong price ) ?🤔

Affordability Checks - Imagine at the point of sale when buying a gold bracelet or a Rolex, or a high end meal at a restaurant, or your fourth pint on a night out, being asked for your bank details and proof of income. It’s all bollocks isn’t it. Why have we stood for it so long?

@geoffbanksbet With no legal challenge ! #complict #happytopaythefines

If you had told me 10 years ago that the regulator of Gambling would impose on the industry untested measures which all corners of the industry lawyers Bookmakers punters analysts journalists, are all telling them these things simply cannot work, and will end up causing a lot more harm to people by shoving the problem to the black market Add to the list not one, but two government regulators currently opposing their measures I have always viewed the gambling commission with the greatest of scepticism -the difference between these people in Birmingham and, for example, the British horse racing authority is a desire on the latter to do the right thing Whereas the gambling commission is embarked on an obsessive path of self worth. Destroying everything in its path.

@JamesEnglish71 Hes not wrong !

Why they want a cashless society

@RacesNow_ @StreetwisestuV2 @racingoncourse He knows where the VALUE will be 😎

@StreetwisestuV2 @racingoncourse SD likely at Bangor Saturday

SD in the betting ring. York. Wednesday 13th May. @racingoncourse

@stevenctilley Spot on Steve .

“The checks… will be made in a collaborative way with industry” Anyone thought about asking customers what they want? Or is the GC relying on bookmakers representing their customers?

BOOM 100%

Comedy gold , the anti gambling commission talking about " the real world " has to be on a par with their moto of " keeping gambling fair and open" and one of the oncourse bookmaker associations motto of " keeping you informed " YOU COULDNT MAKE IT UP ! 😂😂😂

@geoffbanksbet No challenge , i wonder why 🤔

They are out of all control It is down to the major 4 bookmakers, and the BGC, who must be appalled, to insist this as quite unacceptable

@racingoncourse "A 1/5" "A 1/5" "A 1/5" 😂

York bound

@racingoncourse The all important VALUE will b at Bangor .

What’s The Damage? Thinking of going racing next Saturday 16th May ? Here are admission prices at all courses for grandstand and paddock or equivalent if booked now: Bangor: £22.75 Doncaster: £26.50 Newbury: £31 (includes £2 booking fee) Newmarket: £18 Thirsk: £19 Uttoxeter: £25

@cannon_oncourse @robbo__85 @Southwell_Races @racingoncourse Come on Micheal thats nonsense !

@robbo__85 @Southwell_Races @racingoncourse You are trying to compare apples and pears - I (or any bookmaker) can’t make people bet anything - we only offer options and the customer is free to bet wherever (or not) they like. If we were all 1/4 then punters would be worse off - especially the win only punters

FULL BETTING PREVIEW (no lay of the day) @Southwell_Races Ascot 1/5 v 1/4 🙈(@racingoncourse) First day of my new platform 🙏

@racingoncourse @RacesNow_ Simple solution , the useless anti gambling commission could introduce traditional place terms as part of the oncourse betting license,of course the usual suspects will then bet win only , but at least its better than what we have now !

Michael and I do disagree on the point of 1/5 and a quarter in 16-21 runner handicaps but, he is right that punters should shop around. On course bookmakers are a vital part of the racing experience and long may it continue. 95% of the ring at Ascot was 1/5 and I asked Michael to talk on the matter as he would be willing to do so. I hope awareness on place term fractions has been increased.

@leemyrtown @racingoncourse @RacesNow_ NONSENSE !

@racingoncourse @RacesNow_ I go racing maybe 10-15 times a year. The bookmakers are all slaves to the Exchange. Prices all locked under Betfair, all move in unison. It really is like synchronized bookmaking. All feared of being bigger than Betfair for even a millisecond!!

@horsevault Great Bookmaker Mr Ridley , one of the best, hope he is well .
