The big cash game back in the day at Stoke where a guy used to bring his dog in and he'd lie there all night chilled as, eating cheese sandwhiches people gave him. I don't remeber this name but he was the first person i ever knew who actually understood things like pot odds, total revelation at the time.
Smoking at the tables was great.
£5 rebuys where people went all in every hand from the first hand until they got some chips to play with.
Haha, the local Gala in Bournemouth used to have a £10 rebuy on a Sunday night, and you got 500 chips to start yep, was standard as far as i knew.

I would add a word of caution here. In running betting can be hugely lucrative but sporting knowledge (especially football knowledge) is a bit like sex and poker in that everyone thinks they are better at it than they are. In reality betting in running is very much like betting before events. You have to have an underlying understanding of what the prices and probabilities should be and how what you are seeing affects that. Anyone can watch a game and see who is playing better but in a vacuum that information is likely to be useless. The bookmaker can see it too. Have you spotted that a key player has just picked up a knock? Do you know the backups better than the bookie is likely to adjust to. I don't bet a huge amount in play at the moment because I don't trust my pictures but I do bet a LOT at halftime and very, very often I am betting on the teams that are playing worse because I think the books overrate how often what you have seen in the first half of a game will be repeated in the second half and getting a really good understanding for how much weight to put on that is important. Also you have to bear in mind that it is the job of coaches and managers to change what they have seen when it isn't working. Try to swim against the tide. Think to yourself "what is everyone else that si watching and betting on this game seeing?" What could be wrong about their perception and how could you profit from thinking differently?
Books overate because books move ever closer to representing the money down rather than the true price because they have to.

fck mcd and bk, they are all shit really. Where have you had a great burger?
Great means slow cooked, med rare, succulent beef with fresh toasted bun at least 1 inch thick beef.
Some for me - The monte carlo bay hotel (where the ept final is) does an absolutely amazing room service burger. We had it 4 times in a week. Mal Maisson always do a great burger The unicorn in porthtowan cornwall does an amazing selection
