Woodgate

[Guest CrimsonFault]

Gambled £1.8m in the past two years with Ladbrokes.

 

Gambling is evil.

 

Gambling is bad.

 

Good for Woodgate though.

He may have gambled 1.8 mill, or 2 mill as the Sun rounds it up to, but he's only 150k down. I say only but to Woody it's monopoly money.

If he spent 2mil and he's only 150k down he's probably doing a lot better (in percentage terms) than the average bloke in the bookies.

 

Even goody-goody Michael spends a canny bit on the gee-gees.

I heard he was down a canny bit until he shovelled a load on himself to score some own goals.

Correct, bookies operate to a 12% profit margin.

Aye - but like any other business they give discounts for regular and BIG customers -

 

12% of my weekly tenner or 7% of Woodgates £ 2 million.... ???????????

 

Bookies aren't stupid

[Guest Sima]

Discounts?

 

Do you mean different odds?

[Rob W 0]

what's the difference if you're a bookie?

 

You come to me with a tenner bet and I give you 5-1

 

MR Woodgate comes along with £ 10k and I offer him 6-1

 

A discount really to keep him coming to me rather than looking around for another bookie
