Punters badly served by bookies

Could it be that we aren’t as tight with our old pals Paddy, William, Fred, Boyler and the rest as these guys like to pretend?

Sure, they keep in touch via regular emails and top, top bantz on Twitter, and the gifts were generous, at least at first; a money-back special here, enhanced odds there.

However, there appears to have been a small oversight in the communication from Paddy, William, Fred, Boyler and Co over the years. Somehow, amid all the betting tips and insider blogs and “information you will need to make your selections”, the lads forgot to remind us that many of the tennis players we might be interested in backing wouldn’t be trying at all.
