Re: I Know The Score 2007/08 - Sponsored by BETFAIR Managed to get Villa 2-0 as my treble score banker. Pity its about all I managed though!

Re: Wetherby 03/11 Unsure what to make of BJK. Looked like he was cruising with 2 left and would win it easy. Got the job done in the end but looked a harder struggle than maybe it should have been.

This is an idea Ive thought about a few times before and wanted to run it past you guys. People quite often pick up on when a horse is declared to race and becomes a NR then appears in a race a few days later. This is usually noted as its expected that they decided on the second race as the horse was fancied to have a better chance in this race. What you dont get to hear about as often is when a horse has multiple entries for a week but is only declared for one race. The RFO lists all entries for the upcoming week. Often theres horses which may hold up to 5 or so entries for that week. Could the same idealogy be applied here in that if the horse ends up only being declared for one race from several entries that it is fancied to have a good chance. Has anyone here looked at this and/or does anyone believe its something that may be fruitful if looked further into?? All/any opinion/thoughts appreciated.

Re: Lingfield 31/10 Good tip with New York Oscar. Should have done the reverse forecast.:sad

Re: If you can't bl**dy win then at least get placed!! - Take 2 An absolute steal in the 2.10 Huntingdon. Highland Chief @ 1.1 to place. Only five horses but still paying 1st 3!!!

Re: Lingfield 31/10 Actually like Texas Gold today. Followed him for the last few years. He loves Lingfield with a more than impressive record at the track (18 runs, 7 wins, 6 2nds, 2 3rds) He hasnt been upto much recently but looked close to being back to it two races ago when coming 3rd to Matsunosuke. That day he came 1/2 length behind Osiris Way on level terms and today recieves 3lbs. LTO he disappointed coming 8th of 10 but was over 6f. Today he's back to his preferred 5f, same distance as the previous race with Osiris Way. A year ago he was racing in Class 2 but since then hes plummeted down the ratings and either there has to be a stopping point or he's seen his best days. Im prepared to give him at least another chance.

Re: Aintree 28/10/07 Definatly didnt see anything from Kauto Star to put me off him next time out. He did seem a little disinterested to start but once he got woken up seemed ok and considering it was 1st race of the season, and conceding so much weight , more than happy with the showing.

Re: Aintree 28/10/07 Backed Katchit lmost every race last season and was on again today. Lie you said, great horse and another good display. May be my heart ruling my head but Im going to have to side with Kauto Star. I know hes giving weight, I know Nicholls says hes mainly there for a run and I know he may not be at 100% fitness (which all tells me to leave alone) but in my eyes the horse could have been feasting on Mars Bars all summer and have two legs tied together, he'd still be hard to beat. Stood by him despite the doubters in the Gold Cup and wouldnt feel right to back anything else.

Re: George Washington dies after race Always a tragic occurence when this kind of thing occurs.
I think I remember seeing somewhere that US horses suffer burst blood vessels much more than over here due to this reason.Apparently the US horses are used to pounding the hard track but they do get a lot of injuries when its like this and the Racing UK bloke out there feared that this very thing might happen. -
Re: I Know The Score 2007/08 - Sponsored by BETFAIR Thats some lead DMC is building up there.

Re: I Know The Score 2007/08 - Sponsored by BETFAIR Not bad. One wrong (Fulham) Two correct scores. Banker on Blackburn(correct GD x 3). Unfortunatly wasted the insurance on Liverpool which was one of my correct scores. I reckon 155 so far.

Re: Two Tribes Any more info? Stakes? What kind of bet? I know the rules in here arent as strict as S+S but give us something.

Re: If you can't bl**dy win then at least get placed!! At the mo Im staking £25 a bet. £10 a day is a rough target. I dont stop when I hit it as I know some days Ill make less, some days Ill make a loss. Just gives a rough good of how much is needed. Yep. Short odds and favs. Ill be the first to admit I cant pick longshots but I can usually pick a good fav and if they dont win they rarely get unplaced. Even if youre backing them as short as 1.15 or so to place, you only need to find 3 a day that short to make the target.
-
Re: If you can't bl**dy win then at least get placed!! Been doing this myself with the aim of making £10 a day/ 6 days a week with an initial start bank of £100. Hit my monthly target last month had a lilbit of a nightmare today though. Good Luck

Re: I Know The Score 2007/08 - Sponsored by BETFAIR Great score Rob. Thats some gap the top two have opened up too.

Re: Why don't major betting shops have poker terminals? Got a feeling its due to the Gambling Law. I know as from Sept 1st the Gambling law changes as Ladbrokes FOBT's will carry video poker (Jacks or better) and slot style games.

Re: Making the second half count Current P/L: -56pts Portsmouth @ 10/3 Birmingham @ 9/2 Sunderland @ 9/2 Man Utd @ 10/3 Liverpool @ 9/2 Forfar @ 9/2 Gillingham @ 9/2 Newcastle @ 10/3 56 x 1pt trebles

Re: Not to lose accy's You could always use foreign leagues by pretending and substituting in odds. Example: Want to use Lyon. Pick any other team you arent using(e.g. Blackpool), when the odds come up put in the odds available for Lyon. When the perms are worked out substitute Lyon everytime it says Blackpool. The bigger accas permed could be a pain. If it was same stake perms no problem but as you have different stakes youll have to place each bet seperatly.

Re: Help with horses that place? (Placepot Help!)
28%. At work we can see how much is going on each horse for each leg as the placepot develops, giving an indication on whether its going to pay well or not. After Leg 6 you obviously know how much has won. Divide that into 72% of the pool and we're only ever pennys of the actual dividend so its closer to 28% that the tote take.I do know all the perils of the PP and the fact the tote does take 20% -
Re: Making the second half count No luck this week with only the Chelsea bet winning. A case of teams winning but not drawing HT and teams drawing HT but not winning.

Re: Making Money - Anyone? Guilty of having interest bets but woking in a bookies makes it all that more tempting. At home I can just choose not to watch the racing, at work I have no choice.

After reading a piece in the RFO Ive decided to give something a go this season. Im going to back teams to be drawing at HT and winning FT. Odds are generally around the 7/2 mark. In most cases Ill be doing 8 matches and backing them in 56 trebles. At an average price of 7/2, one treble will return around 90pts. Heres this weekends picks: Portsmouth @ 9/2 Everton @ 3/1 Liverpool @ 7/2 Arsenal @ 10/3 Chelsea @ 4/1 Man Utd @ 4/1 Hibernian @ 10/3 Southampton @ 7/2 56 x 1pt trebles

Re: Plumpton 05/11/07 Hansomelle did pull up then. I did wonder. I was on myself and was watching the race. One min he was going ok in 3rd/4th, turned my back for a split sec and next thing I knew he was nowhere.
