    Lol good luck on these!

    I to am flicking between football, got stung on my Morocco bet!

     

    Morocco was my first world cup bet as well ……… 

    my second is a double on Argentina and Croatia

    Good luck with Via Serendipity which was certainly on my short list for that race ….. but it's a competitive race and I had quite a long short list !

    I think I finally crossed it off because it looks a bit stuck on a mark of 90 having been beaten 1 or 2 lengths in it's last 3 runs. It seems that it has nothing in hand of the handicapper now. However it's obviously in good form and if it runs to it's mark it should be thereabouts again.

    I've been having a good run in the last month or so since I gave up trying to find 6/4 winners in small field Condition and Group races (with limited success !) and turned my attention to better priced handicap runners.

    Most days I look at the better class 2, class 3 and some class 4 handicap races and stick to the all aged ones where there's a bit more form than the 3yo only races.

    Lots of racing today so I've had a flit around the qualifying races and picked something in most of them to give me something to flick over to as a break from the footy (it's a 4 game marathon)

    Fancies

    York 1.50 - Desert Ruler 6/1, Armandihan 11/1

    York 2.25 - Spanish City 5/2, The Feathered Nest 9/1

    Sand 2.35 - Rio Ronaldo 9/2

    Sand 3.15 - Chiefofchiefs 5/1

    York 4.05 - Duck Egg Blue 11/1, Destroyer 16/1

    Chester 4.55 - Spirit of Wedza 9/2

    Sand 5.35 - Precision 7/1, Bear Valley 28/1

    Leic 7.10 - Cheerfilly 11/1

    Betting tax in shops was 10% when I started gambling in 1996. It was reduced to 9%, which you couldn't actually complain about but made calculations that much fiddlier, and then abolished completely in 2001. You didn't pay any tax on course, which was a big draw.

    cheers …….. I did remember it being 10%

    I don't remember the 9% as I had a break from racing & betting for about 12 years from the mid 90s ……. the 9% must have came and went during that period
