    Unreal that someone could put 250 large on one bet.

    I'd guess it was laundry money

    Then again, the layer would have to know the client to take that sort of bet. Hmmm

    Including how a couple of illegal backhanders cost £500,000 and a £220,000 bet went astray. https://www.starsportsbet.co.uk/simo...rading-report/

    So what were the illegal backhanders then? No mention of them in your blog.

    I think Simon was referring to Ryan Moore's (excessive?) use of the whip on Circus Maximus.

    If all these monster bets went in on a lop sided book

    Here's the Star Sports betting report from Wednesday where a punter winning over £300,000 on multiple bets knocked the day bandy. https://www.starsportsbet.co.uk/simo...rading-report/

    Royal Ascot Thursday Blimey, that was some afternoon's betting. Here's how it all panned in the Star Sports office. Huge bets, big losers and even bigger winners and still two days to go. https://www.starsportsbet.co.uk/simo...rading-report/

    Writing this Royal Ascot betting blog this afternoon was very much like writing my P45, it was that bad a day for the firm. You may enjoy it! https://www.starsportsbet.co.uk/simo...rading-report/

    Star Sports needed some very bookie-friendly results on Saturday to get out of the hole that they found themselves in. Here's how it all panned out https://www.starsportsbet.co.uk/simo...rading-report/
