Went to Oakbank today 4 1st time in 10 years and found old men in suits still there masquerading as Bookmakers.
as i walked through the Flat area, i couldn't believe my eyes when i spotted a bookies stand with the name Max Choate on it.
I last saw his stand at the trots years ago Displaying 200% markets so i decided to check his odds outs. AMAZING! Race 1 No 2
Silent Sophia $2.00. Other Bookies $3.50 - $3.80. Tote $4.00 FFS What a JOKE. These blokes r an EMBARRASSMENT to the whole industry.
I then spent the rest of the day in the Grandstand Betting Ring and who was there amongst the BIG BOYS. U Guessed it, R.W. SYMONDS. FFS.
After Disgracing the Bookmaking Fraternity at the Trots during the Interdominion Carnival he Appears at Oakbank to pick pocket once a year punting mugs. E.G.
R.W. Sym Others Tote
R2 No 1 $2.80 $5.00 $5.10 3rd
R3 No 2 $2.40 $3.50 $4.40 unp
R4 No 2 $2.20 $5.00 $4.60 2nd
R5 No 1 $1.80 $1.60 $1.80 2nd Unbelievable, when he made a mistake and put up better odds and held a few bets, the Fav
Lost and he cleaned up. What a JOKE. Theres just no Justice.
Special Accolade for Jim Easom for being Generous enough for Betting $8.00 about BLASE in the G.E. Steeple. It was much appreciated. As for the rest of the Thiefs there, They can get stuffed. They dont deserve the support of the punting public, but as long as their are Piss Head Mug Punters around, they will survive a little longer.
Good to catch up with BAYMAN on course to discuss how we would fix the Racing game but thats a story 4 another Day.
