Bookies.co.za website

Why don't they charge a subscriber fee for those of us who would like to access the site? It's not like we trying to hack into their bank accounts, for goodness sake! I would be prepared to pay a subscription fee because i found the site "informative".

50000000 for a bookies license if you can get one !

There must be a reason why they are not "open to the public" anymore?,i think they just don`t want to be... lol

The problem is that certain bookmakers were using the website instead of paying their BODS (dissemination) fees.
That, coupled with the fact that bucket-shops were using it also for betting changes, was the problem.

So, I don't see anything changing in the near future. The disturbing aspect of all this is that the bookmakers association never released a statement or gave punters any warning.

My suggestion is that Hollywood offer a similar service somehow, but only for their registered clients.

No, i'm not asking for a bookmaker's licence, in the not so distant past, this very site, one had to be registered/have a password to access the site.

bayern just pulling your leg . It's a ludicrous situation !!

the weakness of the sa claims system is a joke in itself

its not a weakness for bookies , its a crafty tool !

Ruffian, what you say may be true, and if so i still dont see the point as if anyone is using the site to run a "'business""
closing the site will surely not tstop them as the information (bar claims) are readily available online.

i reallyhope that someone comes along and create another site the same as bookies ...

Also i would like to ask hibs , how did he manage to get access to the claims , as i also hear on tellytrack they they are referring to the bookies site for odds?

May be its just preferential treatment where some can and the rest ( the punters) cant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

might be of some interest, but if you go to Hollywood and look at money horses in last races for Scottsville, 2 money horses out of the 30 won and kenilworth 7 out of 30 won....

Hi GB

The page that interested me the most was "last 20 changes", this just showed horses for which money was coming - the one's shortening in other words. This page updated every 15 or so seconds, on racing worldwide. Fact, any amount of money pouring on a horse doesn't necessarily mean it will win the race. Bookmakers should be hoping every man and his dog lumps on these coups, and they roll the money horse. By denying people access to information certainly can't be boosting their turn-overs? I like to think of it as advertising! I would be prepared to pay to access the site, however at a reasonable subscription.
