KivoOwl Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Why do we let Ladbrokes have portakabins inside the ground making thousands from us Owls every year? Why not set up our own bookmakers and get the money ourselves? Maybe Wednesday fans would be more inclined to put a bet on too if they knew any lost earnings would go to SWFC rather than Ladbrokes - everyone's a winner!

Guest bartos Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Lets hope we would be more competitive than Barnsley's though. Can't remember the bet but once got a price from them, it was laughable, I walked away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blue&WhiteBen Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Why do we let Ladbrokes have portakabins inside the ground making thousands from us Owls every year? surely Ladbrokes pay to be there? i see your point though, but you could make a case for doing this with everything, pies, beer , mars bars etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Whilst you never see a poor bookie, it would be SWFC's luck to have someone win millions on the first week, sending the club into administration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimmyowl77 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Lets hope we would be more competitive than Barnsley's though. Can't remember the bet but once got a price from them, it was laughable, I walked away Barnsley have changed their since last season, but agree with how bad they were. I usually have a bet on Wednesday 1st half Barnsley 2nd half and vice versa at Hillsoboro its 22/1 Dingles offered 16/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C00PERMAN! Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) surely Ladbrokes pay to be there? i see your point though, but you could make a case for doing this with everything, pies, beer , mars bars etc. Surely we make a fortune on these so is it really comparable to a bookie? Is there really that much to make by doing it in-house? I've put the occasionally last minute pssed up bet on but my coupon (or main bets) get put on well before beer enters the fray.

Guest tomarkley Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 One problem would be, currently when you win you can weigh the slip in at any Ladbrokes office. I'm famous in my local Ladbrokes for walking in with slips from all over the country on a Sunday after I've put a bet on in the ground at somewhere like Preston or Stoke and they have to ring their head office every time to get confirmation of the payout, which they hate Whereas with ours, there would be a queue at the end of the match waiting for the scores to come in and be verified to be paid out. That would need working out somehow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 This year, we should invest in pumpkins. They've been going up the whole month of October and I've got a feeling they're going to peak right around January Then, bang! That when we need to cash in.
