William G. Stewart-Hills

[billy the punter]

Now I'm never a fan of those "inbetween prices" you occasionally see at the track. It isn't common but every now and then you do see 85/40, 9/5, 7/5 even 13/1. Personally I think it's a bit muggy but I do understand why certain sole-trading bookmakers do this if they don't have the bottle or the bankroll to truly stand by their opinion. Looking through tomorrow's betting I see that William Hills are stand-out for Coe in the Welsh National, at.......15/1. :loon Now this may be an error so I will of course take this back if that is the case, but if it isn't then for a massive firm like Hills this is really embarrassing. If you want to get the horse lay it at a man's price. What they are saving on the 1pt they are losing in face. I do hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

Re: William G. Stewart-Hills Have to agree Billy. 85/40 really winds me up but 15/1, what the hell is that?:loon It's like the 100/8 and 100/6, although I do understand the reasons for that from the old on course bookies:ok
