If you're in Belfast city centre and you're a bit fed up tagging along and carrying bags for the…read moremissus while she shops, and you enjoy the occasional bet, this could be a nice place for you to pass the time (assuming that, for some reason, you can't pass the time in a nearby hostelry). This bookies is spacious and comfortable. It probably has the most screens of any bookies I've been in, ensuring you miss none of the horse-racing or greyhound racing. Screen after screen lists odds, results, special bets, and shows the racing. There's also a good bit of seating in here, with benches and chairs throughout the shop, and no shortage of newspapers for you to make your selections. This bookies is always busy, being positioned in a place where people going into, and leaving, the city centre can easily access it. There's many a punter in here just killing time until they get summonsed to go to meet the missus and carry the bags of shopping that've been accumulated.

William Hill is located on Skipper Street which is a weird place for a bookmakers. Plonked next to…read moreone of Belfast's best pubs, The Spaniard and opposite the opulent Merchant Hotel it feels out of place. But I suppose there must be market for it. I don't often have a flutter but when I do it's usually ridiculously outrageous to the point where if it came off I'd be Yelping from Barbados. But today I was passing this William Hill and I thought, you know what my ginger pasty skin could do with some red/pink in it so I went in to William Hill and placed a cheeky 50p! This William Hill seems to have it all, plasma screen TV's on the wall, betting slips for every football match and a seating area located opposite the TV's. Almost as plush as it's neighbour, The Merchant. Seems to have everything a bookmaker needs as well as a few extras. Worth popping in here if you want a flutter and are in the City Centre.
