Ladbrokes, U.K.’s largest bookmaker by market value and Dublin-based competitor Paddy Power were believed to have had a decline in their bets or wagers received. For Ladbrokes, the decline could be because of weakening economies and reduced betting in greyhound races while for Paddy Power because of weakening economies alone.

At Ladbrokes

At Ladbrokes, the amounts staked at their shops have fell in just a span of four months. The so-called gross win, or the amount lost by gamblers, was still the same while winnings at Irish shops that just operated for a year or more have decreased by 11 percent.

Specifically at Ladbrokes’ U.K. Shops, amounts staked was affected not just by economic related problems but also by reduced betting on greyhound races as a result of “presentation issues” involving Ladbrokes decision to start taking pictures from Turf TV.

At Paddy Power

On the other hand, at Paddy Power, there is also some drops at their betting shops recorded in the last 19 weeks. Paddy Power believes that everything has something to do with the weakening economies solely, particularly in countries like Ireland and the U.K.

Basically, Ireland was the first euro-region country to experience an extended decline in general business activity or recession this year. While U.K., had a problem in her economy during the third quarter.

Greyhound Betting — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 07:55:00 +0000

Adam Deadman, the new Betfair’s Wimbledon expert, has his four best bets at the Wimbledon racing.

NAP 22.00 – Bretts Delight

At the top of Deadman’s list is for Bretts Delight. Delight was so close from what looked like an impossible position down the far side. It was believed that the run was so encouraging and that talented youngster of Andrew Peacock is on its best. Aldworth Blaze, Peacock’s second string, set to lead up but still not competent enough compared to Delight.

NB 22.30 – Beachboy Torn

Next is for Beachboy Tom with a fantastic draw and long odds to reach the bend smoothly. On his outside, the late Talking Man in chase however selection will be away and gone by then. Other comments that appear similar apply however with some strings attached.

Value Bet 21.30 – Cashinthechips

Following is for Cashinthechips with few solid late efforts and with approach of seasonal rest right after peak time. On the other side, Talksport Honcho with a clear run could be a threat or a spoiler.

21.15 – Up To Date

Last week was not a good week for Hannahandbrooke when approaching the bend. She can make a bold bid for success with slow starting Up To Date next door. On the other side, Bombagenic Swift can be well drawn and should be honored.
