Bookmaker...Wasn't even a short head, ut a nose!<br />Bookmakers have always marked accounts against tipsters. Back in the nineties when there was no Summer jumping I followed Russell Clarke which was a service where price was everything. William Hill's Leeds operation had tagged the 100 or so of us that followed Russell into a group. Once two had backed the same horse all the rest were restricted to £10 at SP!<br />I only found the details of this when I toured their offices as part of a computer security visit!<br />That was a long time ago when they were the leaders, and would seem like the dark ages compared to todays computers!peternoreply@blogger.com
