Since TT chopped it ?

Are you punting more or less or about the same ?

Has it put you off all punting?

Or do you still punt without pictures ?

Playing less and less.I liked playing P A`s at atleast 2 selected venues for between R300 and R500 per week. Nowadays, I hardly even look any prospects overseas. :sick:

Absolutely no interest except the Classics which are highlighted here....The lack of live coverage is the death knell for me...and I was just getting to have an interest... :(

I have even stopped playing as there are far too many unflavoured horses winning of late. Waiting for the football kick off where hopefully I will do better than my predictions in the comp. I don't even go the the ATR channel or Channel 4 anymore. Interest is dwindling faster than a bug heading toward the bath tub drain

Pretty much stopped all horse punting. Had a lame stab at the July but never even bothered to watch until later in the evening. Can't see the point in punting with no pictures. Don't find dirt/polytrack racing terribly romantic so that's me done.....for now.

yeah they sent a letter last week and stuck the price up by £4 a month. They have far too many sports pundits, news readers , weather girls and those people who do the newspaper reviews. Non of them come cheap and as you say so many repeat programmes especially this time of the year. There is no doubt that you will be getting a letter in the post from Sky offering you 6 months for half price if you come back plus they will not charge you for HD. They hate losing even one customer a week and you can score if you bargain with them. At least once a year I tell them I am leaving and then they offer you specials. When we had to pay for ESPN in got that for free and multi room also. I complained about the way they spoke to me on the phone and I got 6 months half price.

Probably now only 10% of what I used to do - the odd big race or a specific horse I used to follow.
