I'm on 11+ corners, 3+ cards and a Leicester win. QPR being nice and dirty could play into my hands here.

 

leicester won, loads of cards and exactly 11 corners. needed one more bastard corner. close.

Villa v Southampton and Cardiff v Stoke both draw, $5 wins me $47.05

I've been on a roll in the NHL playoffs, choosing one 2- or 3-bet parlay every night and I've hit on the first three games. Today I've just got Pittsburgh to win + total goals over 5.5, $5 wins $10.87.

Edit: probably jinxed myself now...

[ScouseFox]

if anyone out there would be so kind as to sign this that'd be lovely. back your local bookie so the government don't put in so many measures we end up having to close loads of our shops down. think of all the fun you have in your bookies and all the jobs (my job!!) they supply. if you don't want to then fair play, i get people out there are against gambling and it can be dangerous to some people but there's loads on here who like a cheeky fiver of a weekend and it does no harm to them, for some it adds to the enjoyment of the sport.

Is this not just because the government have increased the tax on FOBT, I counted 7 shops on church gate in town the other day, and funnily enough the only closed bookies i seen was an independent one,

No offence mate and I hope you don't lose your job but it seems that every time a shop closes down a bookies moves in.

There are far too many betting shops now.

Like I said in a diff thread I'm not sure on the exact reasons because I haven't spoken with work about it but I'd imagine it's the machines yeah.

There are measures being put into place to protect players of machines, there are manditory and volontary limits for both time and money that players can use, staff have options like having a word with someone who appears distressed, there's gamcare, self-exclusion from the shop and all sorts. But at the end of the day if someone wants to put 500 quid of twenties into a machine in 2 minutes then none of that is going to stop them.

I know where you're coming from, there's loads of shops in town centres across the country. I think they should stop opening up new ones as opposed to shutting down current shops. I work in a bookies in a village type area, not city centre, and it's full of local old fellas who rarely venture out other than to go the pub-bookies-pub-bookies etc. and it's part of the community. Be a shame for places like that to close down imo.

Agreed in my small local town theres loads of bookies, probably about 8 or 9 that I can count of the top of my head. 3 of those are the same firm (Betfred), you've got a Ladbrokes literally next door to a Coral which are both literally opposite a Will Hill

 

Then you have loads dotted around the town.

 

I have signed the petition because I have one real local to me that it very convenient and wouldn't like to see it go, but I have to agree with murf it's quite pathetic the amount of bookies in my local town and certainly their positionings.

 

Won a treble last night, I had PSG, Sporting and Roma
