There used to be one in the Red and Blue bar. Not been there for years now so I don't know if it is still there.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Its part of his ritual to wait for the team sheet and then bet A lot of grounds seem to have them so I assume its still a 'thing' to actually hand some cash over the counter Have actually had a punt myself sometimes include at West Brom last year Wilf to score first and 0-1.

Check out whether there are bookies at,. . I prefer going into the bookies, with the smell of slips and used notes He could always take a punt without seeing the teamsheet. It's not like betting is an exact science, or based on skill, is it ?
I disengage, I turn the page. |

I asked a steward at the Brighton match and he said all the bookies had gone years ago. Shame as I was going to put a fiver on us to win and Zaha to score! :/

Seems stupid though. Half the teams are sponsored by bookies. Can’t get reception on phones in the ground.
