On right hand side- if someone could copy and paste the good ones

Brilliant   we all know them

i love this diary.

I still sometimes rock up to the bookies just for these characters. They are a rare breed these days. My favourite is playing the roulette and catching someone railing, they always sharply look away as if they are'nt watching.

AM I TOO EARLY 29 Jul 00:12 MR.5P DOUBLES

A few years ago a big punter in the betting shop used to do footie and dog accas all short favs ,anyway he was waiting for the last dog in the bookies ,all waiting to cheer it on ,came to about 30000 ,of course the dog gets beat , then the old guy in the shop starts going mad screaming throwing his pen ,the big punter says nothing the old guy screams out I HAD 10P GOING ON THAT EFFING DOG.



This guy annoys me more than anything.

Its like you are writing my memoirs. Great Stuff!

Bringing back loads of memories, I remember when i was 15, lifting up the pillows on my nans couch, looking for coin, then going to the bookies and playing rapido, seeing some right characters as you mention. Not that bad now obv, but i have been at work since 9 and have already placed 3 bets..

Looking forward to when you say how you stopped. Could be some beneficial advice in there!

Keep it up.

Poker at the Stanley casino had some characters some of them still around today
Mickey Wernick - in these days even The Worm played the £5 rebuy
Ash "the cash" Pervais - i think he made an appearance on LNP
Paul Jackson - was always one of the better players there
Anon (state in america) - still the same today
Anon (Raul moat lookalike) - had a pony tail in those days and had some massive spin ups on the magic wheel turning 100 to 20k on a few occasions
also some other comical people
Maggie Fryer - always played 10/6 and if it was suited it was all going in obviously 10/6 at stanley became known as "the fryer" even today i think of it when dealt it.
Wallop - an old boy who when in a pot used to bang his fist on the table and shout "wallop" when he had a good hand - he was fairly exploitable
Kath P -  a big greek lady who used to bring a carrier bag of sweets to every comp and they would go round the tables one by one
I later found out that one of the pit bosses got sacked as it was common for them to come and grab a sweet from time to time but this gent inparticular used to grab a sweet but deposit 4-5 pony chips in the bag on each occasion that then were cashed and split up weekly in a secret rendezvous.
Micky P - had obviously won a big pot once requiring a 7 so in walsall when you called in a 7 you would "send me a micky p" dealer!
I started to really enjoy poker but was still losing eveywhere else and had already been bailed out once by my Dad who told me he would not do this again (more on this as we go on) when they intriduced a game that would change my world for unfortunately only 1month before some idiot with a big mouth lt on what was happening, the game was "Carribean Poker" the 5 card house poker game where the dealer only opens AK+ and you have to beat his hand...

he he, i remember a lot of those people, good times.

You'll possibly know my face, i didn't go all the time but fairly regular, i'm not very sociable either so i tend not to stand out. You didn't mention Sammy 'the card rack', possibly the worst loser ever but always funny with it.
