Dazzle Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 It's easy to lie about your age on ladbrokes and create an account and start betting (under 18). I take it no action can be taken if you get caught since it's ladbrokes' fault for allowing it to happen? I had an account at 17, was not asked to prove my age just used my visa debit card and got away with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I had an account at 17, was not asked to prove my age just used my visa debit card and got away with it. Yeah I'm 17 and I just entered my birthday a year earlier than it actually is, wasn't asked anything else. It just seemed too easy but I'm not complaining. I'm using my paypal account which is connected to my debit card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful its ok to open an account but some gambling sites ask for a credit card number to make a withdrawal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) I have a question. I'm probably going to watch the Chelsea-Arsenal game tomorrow before getting the train through to Greenock from Central Station. Any good/decent/non-shitehole pubs near the station that will be showing the game, and be okay with with football colours? A fresh green dot for whoever gives me the best answer.

The other day I had to open my first adult account (needed to do it anyway) so will see if that works. I'd be surprised if they denied any transactions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pubs down Jamaica Street should be fine I think. Or the wee one that's next to the tunnel, I can't remember what it's called though edit; Grant Arms it's called Edited October 28, 2011 by Milevskiy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason the IRA should've bombed them, instead of Santander. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split the journey, Return Glasgow-Perth+ Return Perth-Dundee and it's £22.90... You don't need to get off the train...

Hedgecutter Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Split the journey, Return Glasgow-Perth+ Return Perth-Dundee and it's £22.90... You don't need to get off the train... Regarding the split fares being cheaper, my blood's close to boiling just reading this but I've had enough train fare rants on here already. At the start of the week, the website was asking ~£55 for a return (cheapest available - no el-cheapo set time tickets) from Aberdeen to Larbert for our game at Stenny last Saturday. Thankfully I was able to get the train to Montrose for £16 return, get the bus through to Brechin and get the supporters bus down at a grand total of £27 instead. Similarly, Aberdeen to Edinburgh's cheaper if you split at Montrose and same with Aberdeen to Inverness breaking at Keith, although some ticket office staff seem to get pissed off when you ask for the two separate sets of tickets. They can get to f***. If you tried that with a bus for example, you'd end up paying more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheapest ticket I can find to go from North Wales to Inverness to see my folks at Christmas at the moment is £126. I've paid £30 before, but probably took days to work out the different combinations of splits and single/returns, and matching up the connections. What happened to the promise of fair 'through ticketing' when they privatised it? They're a shower of thieves, and that beardy c*nt Branson is the worst of the lot.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to the promise of fair 'through ticketing' when they privatised it? They're a shower of thieves, and that beardy c*nt Branson is the worst of the lot.. My favourite scam at the moment is the 'Plus Bus' where a combined train and bus ticket into and around Aberdeen is more expensive than getting the train ticket and then just buying an all day unlimited day ticket on the bus. A bit grim perhaps, but a train to Manchester Piccadily followed by a Megabus to Inverness would probbaly be the best value. I travelled Aberdeen to Manchester on the megabus (£2.50 return) to get the trans-Pennine for Leeds a few years ago in the student days and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. That's probably the same distance as North Wales to Inverness. If some-one said "I'll give you £100 if you sit on the bus rather than the train", quite a lot of folk would take that offer (unless you're a raging alcoholic and need that drink from the trolley which on a packed train, seems to be the only difference). Those Virgin trains through Carlisle to Glasgow are stuffy and messy as f*** anyway. I'd actually prefer the megabus thinking about it! Additionally, if you're planning on travelling by train in the winter, chances are there'll be a little bit of sleet on the tracks, they'll cancel the trains and stick you on a coach anyway. Pisses me off when they do that when you could have got the same service on the Megabus or Citylink at half the price or less (and they don't do the whole Scottish town tour to get to each station along the way) Edited October 29, 2011 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used Megabus from Manchester before, and I agree, it's fine. But over Xmas it's about £50 return, plus £20 for getting to Manc from Wales. So I'll probably end up flying for not much more.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
