Eric Arthur Blair 6,729 Report post Posted January 23 2 minutes ago, HSS said: That got a mention on Off The Bsll today. Really? I didn't hear it. Gary worked in Ladbrokes in Gilmour St when we were students. Those were the days when they had big poster sized sheets of paper with all the runners and the prices were changed with a marker. He used to walk along a plank between meetings if race tines were close together. He taught me the meaning of all the wee symbols in the form (C, D, CD, BF, F, P, U, /, - etc). I can't recall the exact suspension his dad got but the Ben Nevis GN was 1980 and we went to Paisley Tech in 1985 and his dad was back in the bookie business as a manager for Mecca. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy 3,756 Report post Posted January 23 Hopefully we will be in our lucky dugout tomorrow. If i am right, we were in the left hand 1 as you come out of the tunnel in 1987 and 2013 and in the right hand 1 in 2010. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

faraway saint 31,725 Report post Posted January 24 Daughter in law is a St Johnstone supporter, so much so she got my son to put money on them yesterday. She's quite happy, my son is nervous as he'll get slaughtered if we don't win today. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faraway saint 31,725 Report post Posted January 24 11 hours ago, Eric Arthur Blair said: When I was a student there was a guy in my class, Gary Moore. His dad used to be an independent bookie in Edinburgh IIRC and his shop was near a pub called The Ben Nevis. The story goes that everyone from the pub from underagers to sherry drinking dowagers were placing bets of all sizes on the Ben Nevis which surely couldn't win at 100/1, 66/1, 50/1 etc. Well the greedy so and so didn't lay off enough to cover his liability and when it won at 40/1 his business was liquidated. There was a wee bookies around the corner from me a few years ago who would immediately offer you better odds than any of the big bookmakers if you took in a coupon. He went bust as well. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faraway saint 31,725 Report post Posted January 24 After watching yesterdays semi final I wasn't impressed with the state of the pitch. Not going to be great today I'd imagine. First goal will be critical, if we score they could well panic. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichardBuddie 522 Report post Posted January 24 Really do believe we can do this today. Also I got 20/1 with William Hill for McCarthy to score anytime which I thought wasn’t too shabby. So my prediction 3-1 Saints with McCarthy sealing it (of course). COYS!! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

faraway saint 31,725 Report post Posted January 24 The best I can do to create an atmosphere is to arrange 5 separate households all to Zoom while we watch the game. Two here in Arbroath, one in Perth and two in Paisley. Hope the authorities don't rumble us. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
