I think that is true of all of the big chains, they are better tagged as shop=betting and leave the tag shop=bookmakers for proper bookmakers where you can go in and speak to a skilled bookmaker. A point I made in the original thread on @tagging, and something I did survey at the time, the word bookmaker does not appear on Ladbrookes, Coral and the like.
