  1. I've been following the golf for a while now and having the odd punt, but I've decided that 2013 is the year where I really try to take it on from a gambling perspective as I relax a little on my racing betting. I needed somewhere to keep track of exactly what I'm doing so I don't throw too much away and figured on here was the best place for it. I won't be betting every week, as unfortunately money doesn't always allow it, but I'll update whenever there are bets placed. I also certainly won't be making quite as many bets as I have this week all the time. Also, as well as weekly event betting, I'll post any ante-post Majors bets in here as well. First up for Week One, then, to the European Tour and the .. Africa Open Tommy Fleetwood 1pt e/w @ 25/1 (B365) OUTRIGHT David Drysdale 1pt e/w @ 28/1 (B365) OUTRIGHT Trevor Fisher Jr 1pt e/w @ 33/1 (B365) OUTRIGHT Fredrik Andersson Hed 1pt e/w @ 35/1 (B365) OUTRIGHT TJ van der Walt 1pt e/w @ 40/1 (B365) OUTRIGHT Matthew Nixon 0.5pts e/w @ 140/1 (B365) OUTRIGHT Trevor Fisher Jr 0.5pts e/w @ 40/1 (B365) 1st ROUND LEADER Maximilian Kieffer 1pt WIN @ 16/1 (B365) TOP CONTINENTAL EUROPEAN TOTAL STAKED : 13pts And then on to the PGA ... Northern Trust Open Bubba Watson 1.5pts e/w @ 22/1 (B365) OUTRIGHT Bill Haas 1pt e/w @ 28/1 (B365) OUTRIGHT Ryan Moore 1pt e/w @ 35/1 (B365) OUTRIGHT Fredrik Jacobsen 0.5pts e/w@ 80/1 (B365) OUTRIGHT Padraig Harrington 2pt WIN @ 11/2 (B365) TOP GB & IRELAND Charles Howell III 1pt WIN @ 8/1 (B365) TOP 5 FINISH Cameron Tringale 1pt WIN @ 10/1 (B365) TOP 10 FINISH TOTAL STAKED : 12pts TOTAL STAKED WEEK 1 : 25pts

  2. Re: Sire Spy +227.4pts to 1pt ew level staking

    There was a 250/1 a year or so ago wasn't there?
    There was, yeah, it was the biggest priced winner in about 60 or so years if I remember correctly. Massive well done on the win today, Jay, I backed it with small stakes as I'm taking a bit of a break from any serious betting, but it's bumped my account back up nicely, so thank you! :cheers:clap
  3. Re: BBOTD 7th May 4:25 Punchestown | Twinlight | 1pt WIN (9/1, Coral) With the ground on the hurdles course still on the firmer side with no overnight rain, I'll be opposing the favourite Unaccompanied, who could probably do with things a bit on the softer side, as could Grandouet. Twinlight has shown he can handle firmer ground, and although the step up in class is something to be considered, with the Mullins yard in fine form recently and Ruby Walsh on board again (having ridden him to victory at Fairyhouse last time out), I feel he can handle the step up and cause an upset here.

  4. Re: BBOTD 6th May 8:35 Aintree | Glorious Twelfth | 1pt WIN (9/4 Totesport) A newcomer from a yard with a great record in these races, I'm going for Glorious Twelfth to see off Awesome Bella on debut here. With a solid pedigree and on ground that should suit, I'll take 9/4 for a winning start.

  5. Re: BBOTD Sunday 1st May 3:50 Sligo | Domination | 1pt WIN @ SP I'll take Domination to win here in what would have completed a hattrick had it not been for a disqualification at Clonmel a couple of months ago. He's improved on each start he's made over hurdles, and I feel there's more to come here against a pretty weak field, with the ground and trip suiting and both the trainer and jockey in good form recently. Apt Manor is a definite danger, but may benefit from the run after a lengthy break.

  6. Re: Peter Carberry's Ride in the 5:30 @Uttoxeter Today

    ]First time I saw it I thought it was the winning post too. That said, if I was a jockey, I'd make it my job to know where the line is... silly boy, they should be more professional
    Likewise, watched it earlier with a bit of money on (not a lot, thankfully!); I'd just jumped up, fist punching the air to celebrate when I realised, gutted.
  7. Re: BBOTD Saturday 30th April

    4:25 Uttoxeter | Nicky Tam | 1pt WIN (5/2, Stan James) I'm opting for Nicky Tam to follow up on his victory over this distance at Carlisle a week ago and make it a hattrick. He jumped well and won well enough there, so a repeat performance should see off a reasonably weak field with the ground suiting. Cobbler's Queen and Jacko's Boy are a threat, but the latter hasn't been particularly impressive when chasing, and JB could maybe do with a slight drop in trip.
    Ah, I've hit Submit too early. If it's too late to take a price on this one, no worries at all, but if not, I'll take 5/2 with Stan James. Sorry about that!

  9. Re: Royal Wedding

    Bad race though. The horse is the ultimate monkey' date=' but the rest are much of a muchness.[b'] Surprised he drifted. Well done to all of you that were on. :clap
    Likewise - I took 2's this morning expecting it to be well backed, absolutely gutted. Didn't have much on, thankfully :spank
  10. Re: 2,000 Guineas

    Am with you Ken, the young guns NEVER listen mate. Sure he's Class but id rather lose my cash on a 100/1 shot than a odds on shot, still a great race to watch and still great for racing if he wins or loses.
    My gut feeling tells me Frankel will win, and in a way I hope he does because he's such a fantastic horse, but I completely agree with your bolded point and at such short odds for me it's nowhere near worthwhile. Personally, I've opted for an each way bet on Casamento, couldn't resist at 16's :loon
  11. Re: Jump racing Fri 29th April

    4.35 Perth Been looking through the races and finally found a bet. This is a marathon event over 3m 7f, and many just wont stay. Twoston Davies doesnt often leave without some decent prize money at this track and PETITE MARGOT despite being 2yo now has a great chance of running to its chasing mark of last year where it finished 2nd off 20lb higher mark (!! yes 20lb!!). The trainers son is a capable rider now and great to see him on board. 9/1 with Stan James
    Picked this as my BBOTD, took it at 6's earlier with Coral so fingers crossed for both of us! :hope
  12. Re: BBOTD Friday 29th April 4:35 Perth | Petite Margot | 0.5pts E/W (11/1, Victor Chandler) This should be a very competitive handicap, but I'm backing Nigel Twiston Davies' twelve year old here to win this contest for him for the first time since 2003, and improve on last year's second place. I think the ground will suit and I feel he'll improve for his run at the end of March in a four and a quarter mile-r, where he finished right down the field, but looked like he may have more in him yet and the drop in trip here should be a positive.

  13. Re: BBOTD 28th April I've been lurking on these forums too long, it's about time I got involved, I'll start here :D 2:00 Hereford | Abergavenny | 1pt WIN (6/5, Bet365) Not feeling too adventurous today, so I'll start out with one of my smaller priced choices. First time over hurdles, but the yard have looked strong recently and he ran well enough in defeat last time out on the flat to suggest there's more in the tank; I fancy him to get off to a winning start here if his jumping is up to scratch. Ground shouldn't be a problem based on his efforts on the flat, including two wins over 10f at this or a higher class. Call To Arms and Souter Point are the main threats, but CTA could probably do with softer ground, and nothing I've seen from SP has got me particularly excited about his career over jumps so far, so I'm having to plump for a boring short odds favourite here :unsure I know I've hardly set the world alight with my first choice :lol Hopefully something bigger'll jump out at me tomorrow :D Also, if there's anywhere I'm going wrong, if my reasoning needs to be more detailed etc., give me a shout and I'll try my best to sort it out next time :D
