@geoffbanksbet You are correct, Geoff, but part of me thinks you are a bit sore about the class system; is it because no bookmaker will ever receive a knighthood?

If the likes of Barney Curley or Tony Martin ran a series of horses down the park for several heats, and then produced them to land gambles, they would have been pulled in by the British horseracing authority fairly quick
But let Sir Mark Prescott, or Dan Skelton do the same? And it's openly condoned
That's how racing turns. On a class based system

@SurfWithSharks @corachsamason Are you talking about the computer “blip” that wasn’t real?

@RacingPost British racing needs to ditch pernicious bookmakers and find a new income stream.

British racing will drive home the damage affordability checks will do to the sport by launching a new campaign in advance of this year’s Grand National

@jhorsewhisperer 🫡 seriously, impressive stuff. Your methods are different to mine but I appreciate the good work.

@JackElsom “Due to significant tax increases”
Don’t fall for this bs. Those 200 shops would have closed anyway and have been empty for 6+ years.
English

NEW: William Hill is closing 200 high street stores due to the "significant tax increases" announced by Rachel Reeves at the last Budget.

@Moray_Smith Yes, Evoke definitely need to save money; but will they axe their sponsorship of trainers and jockeys?

You have to feel a lot of sympathy for the staff that work in the William Hill shops and in head office roles that will be losing their jobs after today's announcement. I've yet to hear which shops are going (I know Sidmouth is ok as I'm in Devon for a few days) but there are some good folk working in their shops I've known for years.
It's being blamed on governmental tax issues and that no doubt played a part but given the timing of the announcement, it's hard not to wonder if the "glitch" that cost them approaching £270m I heard, played a big part too.
It's certainly in their interests to frame it as purely tax related.
The number of bookmaker shops in out towns and cities will soon be down to half the number there were a decade ago.

@geoffbanksbet Bookmakers did this they opened excess shops to put in FOBTs for addicts and criminals and systematically restricted and disenfranchised regular punters. When the parasitic scum had their dodgy no lose practices controlled a bit closures were inevitable.

Betting shop closures announced today?

A 6 million pound annual hit to horse racing
Congratulations to Derek Webb and his SMF acolytes who helped make it all happen
To the gambling commission who lobbied for tax increases, and who refuse to admit it under FOI
To the BGC, who volunteered a 120m grifters levy to try to deflect it and failed
And finally to government, and the eternally useless Baroness Twycross who tossed a successful industry (and a great deal of taxation) in the bin

@geoffbanksbet When the icy, deathly hand of government taps a business on the shoulder, it’s only a matter of time.

In the current environment, I cannot see any of these companies lasting more than 3 years
Flutter
365
Entain
Evoke
All of them will be gone. The list is long and distinguished of major corporations who died at the hand of poor business decisions
The 'millions of customers' model is slaughtered by regulations their customers will simply not sign up to. Is impossible to administer or enforce.
The share prices in these companies is tanking. None of them depend upon oil!
So they become the offshore entities they used to be.
Or they die. As does every sport and entity that depends on their money
English

@Nijinsky007 I wonder if we can bet on which managers will make the cut.
English

William Hill is closing 200 shops on 24th May good riddance.
They’re the worst of the worst, and I love seeing their downfall.
The only people I care about are the decent shop staff. Most are good they just follow orders from above. Hopefully, they are paying a decent redundancy, and good luck with your job search.
I have had this confirmed by a number of insiders,I have no reason to spread false rumours. This will be all over the news in the next few days.
