Loved this one so many memories of the old betting shop days. The year Shaamit won the Derby a couple of lads had been at the Shirts yard doing some work and were told to back it for the Derby everyone in the shop got on at fancy prices and on the day literally cleaned the bookies out they had to ring out for more money brilliant days.
I couldn't agree more with Chris when he says give me stroke pulling/skulduggery over greening out at the Masters but I'm thinking that backing dogs after they have passed the post is worse than a questionable tactic. Great show lads, always good to listen to old punting stories.
The birds behind the counter in betting shops have never had a clue. in late 80s and early 90s, I'd go in shops just trying to have bets - nothing major - on golf, grand prixs, etc, etc, only to be told they didn't take bets on such events when anybody could have told them that they did. The managers - usually male - were more clued up no doubt.
Couple pals of mine had bet on both teams score + win accas, the teams won but bet lost, we were so strong the bet had won the poor new lass opened the safe and paid out, even with two losing slips the machine saying so! she never got sacked... blagged the bookies!!
Great show lads
Brings back memories of Liverpool White City and St Helens dogs back in the distant past.
