What went wrong quids? Did you really lay rip van winkle?or was it something else? I just don't see the fun in laying the whole fun for me is to get the odd decent win now and again which puts everything right.as you said to me once 10 profitable laid bets can all go in one losing lay. However in a big handicap that is probably a good time to lay most of the field. As a backer I find big handicaps are the ones to avoid.anyone know when Rip is running next I want to chase the dragon.

MM - laying is THE rush...real balls needed ;-)


Laying does show you how much bollocks real bookies have - (not the corporate fellas)


West Ham/spurs f*cked me up laying ?10 at 5.6 for under 1.5 goals, 1-0 to THEM and Defoe got it....three lots of pain



I didn't lay RVW I bet the 2nd favourite

Tempted by Chelski @ 11/5 to win the Premiership, even though I'm a diehard Utd fan, to win the league 4 years running is a big ask, physically and emotionally it must catch up with the players, I thought some of them just didn't turn up in the Champs League final. Liverpool flattered last season and Alonso will be hard to replace, Arsenal have too much ground to make up and are selling their best players, and Citeh will need time for all the new players to bed in.


EW bets for other divisions - QPR @ 18's, MK @ 10's and obviously Notts C @ 5's...

I think MM returns to Blighty today but I'm off on my hols tomorrow with no internet so won't be participating in the US open; licking my wounds on the nags; preparing my football bets.


In the meantime sitting on a few long terms looking ok for trading- Pompey down and Aussies for the Ashes.


See ya punters.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
