where's your favourite bookies shop...

[Jamon Jamon]

...and why


i'll start

Ladbrokes, St James St, loads of atmospherre as it's usually full of knownothing-knowitall piss heads

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

George Street Hove Ladbrokes is good and very well run. Tragically the previous manager died there one day at the age of 28 of a Brain Haemorrhage.

I don't use bookies, i prefer Betfair.

That weren't the question though was it!!!
I like ladbrokes they seem to attract all the mentalists. London road has its share of weird people like the chinese man who just shouts and swears at the monitors even when he hasn't got a bet on.
Oh and everyone down there thinks they have a tip for a Gary Moore horse!

yes, heard it was a young lady and she actually died in the shop, very sad indeed

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Had a brain haemorraghe in the shop on a Saturday and died in hospital. She was a very pleasant slim blonde lady, very sad indeed.

Isn't it just any one where you win?

I remember my first win at a bookies vividly - it was a grotty little shop just by Hassocks station, but it seemed like a palace that day.

Ladbrokes, George Street , Hove also has a very attractive Latino girl who looks like Jennifer Lopez working there.

Star Racing at Brighton marina did a free nosebag for the punters for the Gold Cup. All very civilised. Possibly not the sort of thing they'd try in London Road Ladbrokes, for fear of being overun with the giros and pikeys

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

They also have some comfy chairs , its all very upmarket, as Basil Fawlty would say NO RIFF RAFF.

Mine is William Hills Wormwood Street EC1 ,simply as I walked out of there with £920 at the end of Feb and £5300 cash and Cheque in 2006

The most fascinating bookies is Corals at the dials all mob from the Dogs are in there on Saturdays Mornings (big Rodger and his cronies) apparently one mornning last summer weekday I think a load of them had a Greyhound Placer up which paid £6000 approx to a quid some punterS had it to 5 or 6 pounds and for a while they (Corals) only took bets to a maximum £20 a slip on the dogs in that shop. Danny Bloors ginger brother trys to get bets on in there as does to Snooker MC.

How about Hills in Basker Street, brighton?

Manager is an Albion fan.

Walk upstairs from work and talk to the staff on Paddy Power Dialabet that are in the same building.

Otherwise, Boylesports down the village usually.
