BOOKMAKER Ladbrokes has reported a fall in the number of over-the-counter bets.

The firm put the 4.9 per cent reduction in the third quarter down to a rise in weather-affected horse racing cancellations and the effect of the Olympics.

    “When the odds of winning over £50,000 on the national lottery are smaller than the odds of finding life on Mars, is it any wonder some people are staying away and learning where their priorities are?

    Bookmakers are scandalous with the service they provide. They will put Man Utd at 11/8 and Chelsea at 11/4. A draw between them will be 2/1. What on earth is that all about? If one of the teams is really at 11/8 or 11/4, then common sense would say they other team should be around 10/1 or even higher!

    I am glad these thieves are losing money! I saw a documentary once how much they influence the media with lies, just so people bet on that lie being true. I am in fact talking about player transfers, the will make up a hypothetical transfer and slap some odds on it, and then papers see this and write some bogus report and the source (who is never named!) is someone from a bookmakers head office!!!!!”
