    I noticed that Lads had betting in running on the Gold Cup ... I went to pub and did not see how it worked out ... did anybody experience what it was like etc.? Thanks.

    They had betting in running for any of the 3.15 races I was in there for. TBH, I find it annoying that the commentary gets interrupted every few seconds so they can tell you the odds. There's a screen with the odds on it for the few people that want to bet in running so no need to interrupt the commentary. I didn't mind the Gold Cup being interrupted though as every time War of Attrition got mentioned the odds were shortening so I was happy. :)

    The manager in local Ladbrokes told me that it was a bit of a pain in the ass - he took only a handful of bets - the guys putting on the bets were 'stalling' before coming up with them - some may have had various bets written down - in the end he just took them without asking any questions .. to keep the peace -

    - in the case of betting in running, the machine does not settle the bets - so it is still a grey area - it is up to the discretion of the manager - something they could do without ...

    - in this case, nobody won anyway so that settled that!
