LOL

Just rang Ladbrokes.

Me.." Is it still minimum,£25 stake for a bet over the phone"

Ladbrokes..." Yes sir,that is correct"

Me.." Can I have £12-50 ew on Regal Ruler at 50/1"

Ladbrokes.."Oh dear,something popped up on my screen saying maximum £5 ew"

Me..."Really,but that's breaking your Ts and Cs"

Ladbrokes.." Give me a minute and I will call trading department"

Me..."ok"

Ladbrokes.." As a jesture of goodwill at Xmas,you can have the bet"

Me..." The £12-50 ew?"

Ladbrokes..."No sir,the £5 ew that popped up"

Me..." Stick the £5 ew where the sun don't shine and your a numpty"

you should now phone them up and thank them as they have saved you £25. So bookies are not money grabbers after all as that horse was never going to place yet alone win.

It didn't run that bad,to far back of a slow pace.
Finished about 6th,overtook 5 in the Straight.
But that's not the point Chicken,is it.

not at all arguing the point with you, but you really should give them a call and thank them for saving you the money

Ok,my old matey.
Just rang to thank them and he wants to know what a "numpty" is.
Have you any idea Chicken?

Merry Xmas Chicken,no incidents and speak to you in Feb/March.

Think I would sooner give the game up than bet with Ladbrokes these days - Cyril Stein must be turning in his grave!

Merry Christmas
