I know it is illegal to broadcast live fixed odds from the betting ring. What about for personal use though.
I want to send somebody to the track, and if there is better odds available back the horse there instead.

Anybody tell me if this is allowed? Obviously communication will be home phone to mobile in the betting ring.

Any thoughts.

Know of people that do it including myself, never had a problem with it.

That doesn't happen does it ?

Last time I went to the track I couldn't hear the races because of all the different ring tones going all day.

In reality i know a lot of the clubs have bitten the enevitable bullet and now allow phones on course except in the jockey room , saddling enclosure and the betting ring . all that means is you can stand out on the flat and phone a friend as the great eddie i love collingwood would say. pity the clubs did not bite the enevitable bullet and realise betfair.com and the like were here to stay or better still seek arrangement to have there own governing body run exchange in direct competeion to this 'latest scourge' by utilising the resourses of the betting control board etc. Here all profits could be reinjected back into the racing community . bit like a police credit union etc . anyway , thats a topic for later i suspect. happy punting all .
