Which bookmakers do you use?

On the street it's Corals in Hangleton
On the laptop it's split between Betfair and Ladbrokes.
I did use Skybet until they accused me of trying to defraud them.

I have accounts with SportingBet, BlueSq, William Hill & Paddy Power. I go with whoever has the best odds for the bet I want...

Oh, and Ladbrokes!

None.
Gambling is for fools.

Generally, but if people are betting with money they can afford to lose, then it's up to them, but really I agree - it's throwing money away, and if you're losing money you can't afford to lose, then .... well, I need say nothing, I think that's obvious.

 

[Mackenzie]

banned eh? so is this for smashing up a roulette machine or are you one of the impressive number of NSC regulars that are banned for "winning too much"?

Winning too frequently.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I normally use Ladbrokes, but sometimes go in William Hill for a change of luck on the Dogs.

 

[Northstandite]

Pearson or Longman.

 

[Durlston]

None.

Really? That's quite a sweeping statement. Would you go into a betting shop and say to everyone they're wasting their money? Some gamblers are much better than others - to the point where they're almost getting a second income.

I don't drink alcohol anymore but I'm not going to go into a pub and say to everyone with a pint of lager or glass of wine, you're all fools for poisoning your liver. Some may have only one drink a week, others are drinking themselves to death but it's their lifestyle choice.

People can enjoy spending their money how they like.
