they wont take it because chances are they have been clattered with the same dog all day,very rarely they will give you earlyer price for greyhounds unless its a big race,you go in the shop 5 mins befor the race and they will prob have no problem taking your bet is a dog you genuinely fancy to win say £200 and the price is 2-1 or whatever but most of the time when people come in with stakes like this the dogs price will be summit like 1/2 1/3 because the bookies have been clattered with it and the market wont reflect the dogs past form it will just reflect the £, If i got a punter in my shop wanting £50 on a dog and asks for a early price then we would have to ring up our sports room,then they would just say no price is on offer and then say max stake blah blah at sp unless its some sort of greyhound final or heats

You seem pretty sure about this dog so there is a fair chance other people are too. They've probably had more money than is usual go on it.

He had a couple of lucky bets and they have limited him just in case he has the inside track.

He doesn't clean up taking high street prices.

How odd. You talk like you are some sort of seasoned, experienced pro gambler yet in reality you've only been able to bet just over a year!

If I was a bookie and some 19 year old came in saying 'Need to get a price, wanna back a dog on!!! got the liquidity' I'd limit him to 50 quid as well.

Isn't that more likely to make him a bookies dream?

People over-rate experience, you only need a year to reach near max capability, for most things.

It isnt 4 years long though.

Also you are not doing one thing, you are doing many things..

thepeganator · 4 Feb 2011 at 19:19

Try taking a look at some other online bookies? There are hundreds...

But seriously, why do you need to do this SO bad?

Short time to learn something, lifetime to master it?

Cannot master it, you basically get to very close the point of your maximum potential, obviously time ranges change.

So basically you shoot up learning fast getting better and better, then you reach plateaus.. At that point not much more except squeeze out a few more MHZ

Indeed, should be entirely on the internet.

I hope this assertion doesn't include surgeons as well. I wouldn't expect you to trust a surgeon with 1 year experience to cut you up!

Hah, don't think I've ever been in one in my life as it happens.

It was more just a comment on the ones in my local area, there is one every few yards. I'm pretty sure they prey on these kind of people, which is there are so many in an underprivileged area.
