I was hoping to put a little wager on the Grand National this year but I haven't got a clue where a Bookmakers is! I'm sure I've seen one before but can't think where. Anyone got any ideas? Preferably round the Alster somewhere!
Thanks
i would guess in any one of those Wettbüros.. they're all over, there's one next to the Fitcom across from the Bahnhof.
bon chance... Go Velvet GO!

Ok- I found one but it would have been cheaper if I hadn't!! Quick uninformed flutter was not all its cracked up to be! Never mind, try again next year!

By popular request...
It is in the Schanzen viertal, directly on the Schanzenstr. Easy to spot.

The guy there was a great help as I didn't have a clue how to fill out the German betting slip. He really took his time and even tried in English before we had to break that attempt up. Its similar to a UK bookies only they serve alcohol there too!! Either you leave broke or drunk unless you're really succesful and manage both!!

There's also a little café-cum-betting shop on the Osterstrasse (near the big crossroads with Doormannsweg), and I'm sure I've passed a bookies on the Hoheluftchaussee, too
