Guest CrimsonFault Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Gambled £1.8m in the past two years with Ladbrokes. Gambling is evil. Gambling is bad. Good for Woodgate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Operator 10 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even goody-goody Michael spends a canny bit on the gee-gees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44090 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I heard he was down a canny bit until he shovelled a load on himself to score some own goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 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.... ???????????

Guest Sima Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Discounts? Do you mean different odds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) 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 Edited December 23, 2005 by Rob W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
