They need to open a tote wherever they see a bookie shop. They have to increase their stuff so that when you walk into a branch there are separate terminals for horses, soccer and numbers.

If they think horse racing punters alone can sustain racing they are dreaming. Big money is spent on soccer and numbers, the tote needs to position itself best for that market.

Online is the future but right now the bookies shops are packed with customers daily.

The tote stuff should be trained to stop thinking like they are doing us a favour. They should be well trained and disciplined.

They need to service those tote terminals so that a betting slip goes through at once.

Their betting slips count venues 1-20 then skip to 25 yet they program venues on the skipped numbers.

We need power plugs so we can bring our devices.

Hope so? There is clearly a lot of demand for it - The pools are great. As I said before, they need to introduce it as a constant again, and people will actually know to tune in for it and budget accordingly, and not do it at random and expect the pools to be great straight away.
