    It's good for me they're back open. Not many changes in shops as staff always had perspex screen due to bad punters. Racingpost paper sometimes available depending on staff, toxic smell hand sanitiser, tea out water machine not available, not encouraged to share pens so i bring my own. I'm currently wearing a mask in the shop but dont know how long that will last.... I'm watching bigraces in the shop until the hopeful reopening on the 20th...

    Bookies seem to be really tightening the screw now on odds since they re-opened.

    e.g. Paddy Toomeys Bolivar SP @ 11/2. Betfair SP 12.5. Seeing this stuff a good bit now since racing returned.

    I feel it happens every year I am sitting down watching some summer jumps meeting and I see Peregrine Run running and is circa 6/4 or 2/1 and think to myself jees he looks a big price there and talk myself out of having a bet for one reason or another. Haha

    He is some servant at this level to be fair to him. Literally runs his race every time.

    Think it's all shops not only bookies to stagger out the amounts on public transport ,

    Agreed its late in the morning most of the staff are generally grumpier than they were before especially my local greens. I just get my placepots down and get out the days of racingpost side chats are long gone....

    Turnover is hugely down as to be expected, that's why.

    What category are the bookies in now? Will they be closing in Dublin?


  • Registered Users Posts: 975 ✭✭✭supremenovice


    I don't think any retailers are affected so should be business as usual.
    Gastropubs, restaurants and cinemas are closing only
