Well respected guy who would be honest and fair with his answers.

Hope shirt sales go well Sally.

I don’t know what that was Ginge. Can you add a link?

He plays the likes of Mace, Priestley and Walton, on a loop.

I assume a company got them all in for a day just to film reaction shots? Easy money.

Bob playing next at 9.05



It was a few years ago, January 2016, he was there with Pete Manley, and the other players did their filming on different days.

Yes, it was throwing, reaction shots, grimaces, arms raised in triumph, and sad faces too! All against a green screen. I’ll find a picture of it and put it up.

Just their normal fees for the day, so probably £500 for Bob. We were there for about 6 hours.

It is such a long time ago that this was filmed, that we had almost forgotten about it. It looks very clever now that it’s been put together, but makes me smile that Russ calls .....you require, without giving them a name. He must have gone through a long day of different out shots!

We filmed it up near Manchester on a cold snowy day!



AWL vs Priestley at the moment.

I'm not.
I would imagine if you're the sort of degenerate who is prepared to gamble on a computer simulation, then you don't care who the avatars are. Why would you? It's not like you can study form lines before placing your bet.

I know Bet 365 have got more money than they know what to do with, but spending about £500 per player per day to film their reaction shots is just an expense they don't need.

Its on Coral as well, I assume a few others, so a pooled effort.

What is it? Some sort of coding error that makes a certain outcome more predictable? (I don't expect you to tell me the details of what it is - I'm just curious about how such an edge exists)

When I worked in Coral, some geezer bet big and only on the virtual racing. He won more often than not, so Coral immediately restricted his stake to a max of a fiver.

Easy enough to just start going elsewhere.
