    Another expert in betting that knows absolutely nothing about horseracing. Do tell us of this fictitious bookmaker that takes bets on horses being withdrawn. And which one is taking bets on train schedules?

    Bookmakers quite regularly accept ante post bets on horses that have ‘no chance’ of running – even after their trainers and owners have publically stated that they won’t be at the races. If you go back and look at the betting on the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in recent years you will find a whole host of milers in the betting that had been entered in the race months before, had never run over further than a mile and had no intention of showing up. Mug punters lose their money on such bets but there is nothing illegal about it.

    Could you maybe just stop digging? It’s like betting on a race where you know one horse is starting five yards from the line. Yes there was a tiny chance Charles would tell him to **** off but that’s a massive piece of info to have on a 99.9% pre-determined outcome.

    Again if it’s info in the public domain then it’s not vaguely the same thing.

    <doh> There speaks the brain dead person that has clearly never even been to a racecourse. If you go to York racecourse for their next meeting, you will find that you can walk into the racecourse office and go up to the counter (like you do on a Saturday night in your local police station with your hands cuffed behind you) and speak to one of the members of staff (or in your case the custody sergeant).

    Amazingly, I have been in the racecourse office at Beverley racecourse on numerous occasions with a mate of mine to collect entry badges that have been left for us by people that he knows in the racing game, so we have not even had to pay to get in let alone demand access.

    I’ve never been to York but the courses I have visited it’s never crossed my mind to wander into the office because it sounds an incredibly lame use of time. Were you whisked quickly to the appropriate people to make the vital point the flag was upside down? Did the crowd cheer for you as it was done.

    Gaza is not a country and Hamas do not have a football team, just lots of tunnel diggers. <ok>

    Anybody know of a bookmaker taking bets on the Kingston upon Hull East seat?

    The Green Party candidate for that constituency obviously employed someone with no understanding of geography as they posted leaflets in my street that is not even in the constituency (nearly a mile away). Obviously I will not be voting for the dozy bint but I can see a golden opportunity to make some money betting on her not unseating the loony Labour incumbent even though the odds will be poor.

    No sign of the Illiberal Undemocrats here as they came fourth in 2019, behind the incumbent Labour, the Tories and local girl Michelle Dewberry standing for the Brexit Party. <laugh>

    Bet365 and Hills. 1/9 for Labour and the Tories a distant third-favourite. Lib Dems don’t tend to do well in ****holes full of rancid gammon sadly.

    <doh> Professor Alice Roberts clearly incapable of drawing proper conclusions from data extracts without explaining how that data is derived – as that would give away the real probable reasons rather than what she is clearly insinuating.

    That definitely is the brain dead loony for Kingston upon Hull East telling us what the last loony administration achieved: bankrupting the country ushering in 15 years of Quantitative Easing and austerity that made the rich richer and the poor poorer.

    Please explain, preferably across six paragraphs and 1000+ words, which conclusions you’d draw.

    Hull City Council is run by the Illiberal Democrats. They hold 31 of the 57 seats. There are no Conservative councillors in Hull. Labour blame them for the Lib Dems getting control when the Lib Dems won a vacant seat and knocked off a couple of Labour ones. In a city in terminal decline, the affluent areas of the city chose Lib Dem managed decline as they try to balance the books while they are always in the red with the Marxists. In national elections there are three safe Labour seats so no chance of Dame Beer Korma being seen around here.

    He’s probably wary of catching something.

    Just when you thought this thread couldn't get any more tedious we get the life and times of the racecourse office.

    @brb send this abomination to where ever DMD is lurking.
