    Ugh. I'm tempted to retire from the gambling game due to bookies antics. Limited on Stan James and now any time I want to put a bet on with William Hill it refers me to a trader (haven't put a big bet on with them since that has happened but I can only guess it means I'll be limited ¬_¬). ..................

    Bummer, just out of curiosity would Betfair not suit you.

    Vanilla Coke, forgot all about that, used to be about when I worked shifts in Dublin, must be 6 to 8 years ago now.

    Yup I do most my betting on Betfair but I like to have the best of both worlds. I think it's just sad that the bookies don't let bet worthwhile amounts of money when you are winning / look like being profitable in the long term. It's somewhat brushed under the rug because it is a big problem but it's not really known by average Joe. I think if it were then people would reconsider gambling because it is effectively lose lose situation. You win and you can't bet, you lose and you can keep losing :rolleyes:

    4 cans of that Dr Pepper left,gonna head to Walmart in the morning and stock up. The Walmart super stores are about the size of small town,no exaggeration.

    The best part is I'm not even winning much. I think I'm just getting flagged because I'm always taking the best price going in the industry or something; anyone who bets regularly should do the same... although this limiting crap would be an obvious downside :pac:

    What's even closer is Monaghan -v- Shels tonight, top of the table clash, we go 7 points clear at the top if we manage to retain our 100% away record this season.:cool: C'mon the Reds!

    Would top off a day where I've just found out I'm not being made redundant and I'm going to be working in the closest Xtravision to me!:D

    I would say good luck, but I've decided against it. :P

    That's good to hear though!

    Word of advice Baz actually, what a couple of my mates done the last 2 years was bring enough drink to do them the first night, then one of the days get the free shuttle bus to Naas and there's always drink offers in the shops there.;)

    Thinking of bringing in that much with me on the Thursday and then topping up in Naas on Friday or Saturday morning.

    Yeah, this time yesterday I was planning on bringing in two slabs and a bottle of CM or SC. That's just not gonna work with the tent and bags and stuff.:pac: Will probably be going into Naas for food anyway so I'll get drink in there to add to the bit I bring in at the start.

    Probably pay through the nose for it. You can buy drink over here 24 hours I think,way to have it.
    Pharmacies sell beer,what a land.
