my visit to hollywood

10 years 8 months ago
#508711
a few days ago I was in the springfield park area and popped into Hollywood springfield park at around 10 am and was absolutely blown away by what I saw...the place was clean all the television sets were on, the computsforms for all the overseas venues were nicely displayed and copies were readily available for punters...when you walked in there a lady was there to assist you right away and all the staff were proudly wearing their Hollywood outfits...there must have been around 200 people already there some eating some taking power number bets and also plenty taking football bets..what was so impressive was that there were different levels for sports betting numbers betting and horseracing betting ...to vee moodley and his mates do yourself a big favour if you want punters to flock back to your totes then I recommend you take a quick visit to Hollywood springfield park because this is the yardstick where you have to be at....there was more of a vibe at 10 am during the week than you get at most racemeetings ...

Hey P, some betting shops take more on a number draw than they do the Durban July

A few months ago i went to Hollywood Bothasig to withdraw some winnings
I bought a S/Post and the lady said it's okay she'll give me one for free
I asked...you sure? she laughed and gave it...really!
Now my question is;
Do you now get the S/post for free or is it because I am an acc holder or was it just because they moved to their new premises?

I can confirm Boksburg HW is up to the same standard - I must add that the Benoni Tote has improved on a service level - I saw a older guy fighting with the tellers because he was not refunded for a scratched horse in KZN - the first teller sent him to the manager who then had to tell the poor guy that he'd played a bet in the UK not local - All handled well - But I must say there is only a vending machine for refreshments and when Racing starts the floor is covered with used tickets and you always have to wait in a queue just to get blank tickets.

Thanks for the compliment Pirates. The Hollywood team is always ready for criticism, and ready to deal with it, but we also welcome compliments! We really do appreciate it.
