South African bookies beware and be prepaired

12 years 2 months ago

20 years ago when i 1st started going into betting shops you couldn`t get in the doors of a uk betting shop on the 1st day at Royal Ascot.

Just popped into my local Ladbrokes and this is what i saw (20 minutes ago)

Surely not. You guys are so lucky, you have BETFAIR and I'm sure many players are on there and the other exchanges.

I also think a lot of people believe it's crooked, or an insiders game or just downright nearly impossible to beat.
