[Should Bookies be reported to the Gambling Commission?]

Re: Should Bookies be reported to the Gambling Commission? Xray..... What kind of role would you be wanting the Gambling Commission to play in this ''proposal??. Surely you are not suggesting that all bookmakers cannot restrict customers?....If you are,I can only imagine you are quite new to the game and have a wee bit to learn about the way the industry works.:spank With respect,not all gamblers pick up the paper every day,:drums and decide what their daily ''flutter'' will be over breakfast.Are you aware that there are thousands of professional gamblers who,if you let them,would be betting anything from five to ten (and more) grand a bet,and winning day after day,week after week, year after year,would you want to be their bookie? :wall I have never understood the mythical connection between buying goods in a shop (where the retailer is guaranteed a profit),and placing a bet at advertised odds in a bookmakers,where is the connection?:sad

[Worst call ever?]

Re: Worst call ever? Sorry if I offend,but I'm amazed at how many people are so surprised by some of the beats you see at these low stake tables.I am not a high stake player by any means,25c/50c and 50c/$1 are my norm.I work for one of the better known sites and I can assure you that 99% of the bad beat complaints we receive are from these minimum stakes tables.Whilst I understand that some people either don't have the roll to play at bigger stakes,or simply choose not to,I still can't believe that people take any play at these tables seriously.Just an opinion of mine,which may be true and may not,but I reckon that the majority of people who play at these tables will either be old people,who can't believe they have actually managed to download the software,kids who just want to say they play poker,or women who ''don't want to lose too much''.Some of that opinion is actually an educated opinion.Either way,if you think you can play this beautiful game at all,you only have to move your stakes up slightly to be playing a more realistic game.
