    Vote with your feet. Tell them you're going to Paddy Power from now on. Ladbrokes are usually shyte when it comes to early prices anyway. Paddy beats them most of the time.

    Ladbrokes are generally greedy when it comes to prices anyway..it's rare I would see ladbrokes in the oddschecker top odds

    Bet Fred usually does 10 best odds races on a Saturday.

    Not too surprised to hear that. suspect the other major players are taking a watching brief and will follow suit shortly.

    stan james have been that way for years with

    BetVictor

    StanJames
    Coral
    WilliamHill

    Stan James DO give best prices

    ladbrokes have also done away with treble the odds on one wiinner in a lucky 15


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,351 ✭✭✭✭Harry Angstrom


    I wouldn't be surprised if Coral and William Hill now follow suit. Those 3 bookmakers operate as a cartel. It took Paddy Power to come in and sort them out for a while.

    Local Ladbrokes still doing GP on singles. They have started to withdraw it in selected areas, presumably where competition is less saturated . No doubt it will spread industry wide. Retail shops are being hit hardest with high running costs and lack of cash out there.

    Days of GP are limited, it reduces bookies margins by a serious amount. PP recently capped it at €100 so they have clearly signalled their intentions also.

    Had a tip a few weeks back for The Barber Kelly backed it at 33/1 in Boyles and Paddy Powers.Rang the war office at work she along with her friends had 50e between them on it but didnt take a price with Ladbrokes returned at 6/1.Ladbrokes in kinsealy have had this shocking rule in for about a month and their total takings for a day last week was 300e.Anyone betting with Ladbrokes deserve what they get,sweet fu.. all.

    Ladbrokes offer BOG after midday on the day of the race. Joke they've changed it but they still do offer it.

    I was talking about online. No idea about in the shops. Pretty much every bookie in shop does that in the UK
