Irish

At which site are you looking? I've tried NSW TAB, Unibet, Bet365 and Sportsbet. AII say 'sorry not aIIowed'.

Being a cynical little soul, as we can't see the competitor's odds, how do we know Entain aren't shafting us? Oh, that's right. They are. Silly me.

Thanks J.J. NSW TAB has now closed my account. You're a bloody legend!!!

Thank you. I spoke with Unibet and they've transferred my balance. It was what could be termed 'chicken shit' but it was my chicken shit.

Same here. What number till you call JJ?? They gave me +61 29407 0850 and I get a message saying it isn't connected.

I just tried to withdraw money from Unibet and they refused it. I can't even access my NSW account. The balances may not amount to sheep stations but it's mine. Signed: a seriously pissed off Irish.

I thought I may as well have my sixpence worth. I have read the majority of the comments. Some intelligent, some ranting, some plain dumb but it doesn't mean that person is not entitled to have his/her say and, thanks to Scooby, they may. As an Aussie I bitterly resent not being able to bet on my Aussie account but I doubt that is going to trouble Winston. I can understand that the majority of Kiwis want betting money to stay in NZ, although I wonder at their reasoning. Is it because Entain tell us there's 'millions of dollars being bet offshore'. Any proof of the amount??? I think not. My major probem is that, for better or worse - and I suspect worse - Entain is now the only game in town. I don't believe a monopoly in anything is good. Imagine going to the local brothel and finding only one girl available. May as well go home and have a beer with the missus. Where will it all end??? In tears I suspect. Avagoodweekend children

G'day Stodge. I know we're not out of the stalls for the first race yet but, along with the others who have posted before me, I want to say how much I value your posts. I love the UK racing and my favourite memory of Royal Ascot is getting off the train and watching the ladies, all done up like pox doctor's clerks, (am I allowed to say that Scooby?) walking up the bit of a hill to the course, carrying their shoes - with heel heights made to defy gravity. It's an awesome meeting. Enjoy!!!.

Unfortunately it wasn't brilliant. The L on my keyboard plays up. Sometimes I have multiple L and sometimes none at all. Irritating, to say the least, especially if silly comes out as siy because I didn't notice. Enough to drive me to drink. Oh, poop, I aready do.

Doubt it Charlie. They'll say it was a 'one off' run and she'll be o.k. next time.

Lordie, lordie me Ohokaman. You have no idea how much I love words. Wittering has made my day and wittering they do. Brillliantly, which makes it even worse. Well done sunshine!!!

Thanks Scooby3051. I thought it was me being picky. I think the word you seek is 'laziness'

Recently I was thinking about Aaron (in the nicest possible way) so very pleased to read he isn't lost to the industry, Amazing horseman.

Makes two of us treasure!

He was a top horse Blaird. Always tried and I doubt any of us would have begrudged him a win - one only - against the mighty WINX'. I once saw his trainer, Pat, interviewed and he said not to feel sorry for him running so many seconds because he had won $7 million doing so. Bless him!! (the horse, not the trainer!) Not sure I see Broadsiding being worth $66 grand as a first time sire but what would I know? 466

The troubling things to me Scoobs are the comments 'we will take this and learn from it" - Well, despite a multitude of disasters over the last months they don't seem to have learned much at all do they? Secondly, 'experts'. Lord knows what they are being paid but whatever it is it far exceeds their abilities as they have accomplished nothing at all - unless you count cost, stress and unhappiness for owners/trainers/jockeys/punters. If the expected report 'blames' anyone it will be some poor hapless soul who did exactly what he was asked and it's easier to hang him/her out to dry than one of the Important People - who I doubt are half as important as they like to think. The phrase 'couldn't run a piss up in a brewery' springs to mind. I hate to admit it but words fail me and Lordy me I can assure you that doesn't often happen. The End Of My Rant

I'd like to say I knew a bloke like that but fear for Scooby's blood pressure. Never mind, it's the thought that counts.

How bloody good was that performance? She has equalled WINX's record of 7 Gr1s in one season. I have to admit my lounge floor will never be the same with my jumping and shouting.. Then we had Fangirl's effort, You woudn't be dead for $500 a week and your keep with racing like that would you.?

How can that be fair Scooby?? My other question, knowing some of the unfortunate details of the case, are there police charges to come? Apologies if my question puts you in an awkward positon Scooby.

Negative CM, but nonetheless true!!!

Dear me, my little, doubtful, ray of sunshine surely 12000 is better than a whack in the belly with a wet fish (and there's the Aussie in me coming out. Sorry children)

Scooby, I'd like to say " f*** me, I don' t understand a word he typed" but knew you'd growl at me for using a 4 letter word so cleverly disguised it. Your self control, in the face of idiocy, amazes me.

I'll be expecting to wake up 5' 6", blonde and stunning.

I wonder if you'd get faster service if you stopped the monthly payment?

I have two questions. 1 (into which you can read whatever you like ) How do I know if my box is connected to WIFI? 2. If you can't contact them they won't know there's no reception so how will it be fixed? 3. (I lied, there's 3 questions) do we get a refund on the number of days we have no reception. Do I hear the sound of hysterical laughing?? 'atmospheric conditions' pull the other one Sky, it jingles.
