I completely agree and been saying this myself.
Horse, dogs, sports bet must be peanuts to the bookes now.
I also can believe the BF story and the £1 mil in less than a year.
Maximum respect to you Mr Cheese your post is an inspiration.
I could'nt be bothered to go out one night a couple of Friday's ago and decided to go for a spin instead.
I had £1250 on me as had taken it out in the day to lend to someone and whilst on route i stopped into a Hills to see if i could make a cheeky £50-100 as i had a rather large float on me.
I lost the lot in about 20 mins.
That is obscene and i felt ashamed at what i had done in light of the fact there are probably millions of hard up folk accross the UK who really do with that amount of money.
Anyway, i managed to claw it back over the course of a couple of weeks and i should count myself very lucky.

Luke. Please engage the brain before typing. William Hill's figures below.
As they have approximately 25% of LBO's you can extrapolate that these machines take about £4,000,000,000 off of the public every year.
