Bookmakers have branded a new ‘Punter of the Year‘ initiative – to recognise the best gambler in a calendar year – ‘obscene’ in a furious rant.
Bookmakers, racecourses, and horse racing groups who are all
funded from gamblers’ losing money have blasted a new award to recognise
heroics in punters as ‘obscene’.
Launched today by the Institute for Losers, the Punter of the Year award has been
opposed by bookmakers who are ‘livid with rage’ at honouring ‘a load of f*cking
sh*t bags’.
The first of its kind, a punter’s award would recognise the
exploits of people who win money from bookmakers.
Mugbet’s Dik Venom said: “It’s insane to honour scumbags who rob our dosh.”
“You think parasites who steal from us need a trophy? Quarantining is what they need.”
Keith Vim said: “While 21 Betting
Shop Manager of the Year finalists alone have collectively been paid over
£500,000 salaries from gamblers’ losing bets over the last 12 months, honouring
anyone who wants to take 1p of that money away from us is ‘outrageous’.”
“A Jockey of the year, Trainer of the year, Horse of the
year, Groom of the year, Owner of the year, Racecourse of the Year, Broadcaster
of the year, a Betting Logo Stitcher of the year – even a Betting Shop Manager
of the year – are all established awards, however no plaudits should exists for
scumbag punters who keep this show on the road.”
Shop manager Alf Archer said: “The Betting Shop Manager of the Year award comes with a VIP trip to Hong Kong. If anyone wins money from us, who’s going to pay my five grand ticket and fifty grand a year expenses if I win?”
Punter Gareth Timms said: “We’re not asking for a lot, given
that we pay for everyone else to have a good time.”
“We’re told shouldn’t win any money because it’s bad for the
levy, but there’s always an endless supply of cash to pay bookmakers’ salaries,
TV stations, and the gambling charities their 6-figure per year salaries.”
“While I’m not allowed to win more than 3 quid on a bet,
there are millions of pounds per year for pointless jockey betting blogs, and
those pom-pom hats and woolly coats for trainers struggling to scrape by on £3
million per year in prize money.”
