This is a really good hard hitting article about the reality of closing bundles of accounts which long term any firm should be able to beat once the going gets tough and the tilt session arrives.  Great piece.  I have been saying the same for years.  Add on the fact even if they win long term sports betting loads of winning sports bettors have huge leaks casino wise and will donk off pissed up once a year.  I know some incredible cases of this over the years.  If they don't have the money in their account because you won't lay them a bet then they will never play your casino.

Cheers, that is a very good piece

Goodwood 4.20
Sprints are obv very tricky but 1/4 odds 1234 @ 14/1 with billys HARRY HURRICANE looks worth a bet e/w
was ul last year at meeting and is on an ok mark
won same grade race off only 2 lb lower at York
ground should be ok too, and james Doyle takes over.
Shorter on betfair

James Doyle seems to have a decent book of rides on the opening day. And throughout the week. Just sayin.

How is SDS still 2/5 for the jockeys title?  He hasn't rode a winner for weeks and had a 2 week ban on top.

Beats me. James Doyle is also too big in this market @ 14-1.

Actulally I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Doyle top of the pile come Saturday evening.

Dandy Flame was just over 760/1.

Lovely result on Shady McCoy at 16/1 there to more than rescue the day!

If anyone has anything for Galway for Thursday-Saturday, a good friend is going and I'd like to ensure he comes back with a euro or two, now that they're increasing in value by the day.

Much appreciated, folks.
