Ladbrokes

UK betting shop

Ladbrokes is a British bookmaking company and one of the oldest and largest betting operations in the United Kingdom, founded in 1886.

The name appears frequently in discussions of sports betting, horse racing, and gambling culture in Britain.

With thousands of betting shops across the UK and a major online presence, Ladbrokes has become nearly synonymous with high-street bookmakers.

I popped into Ladbrokes to put a fiver on the match.
