  1. Re: Rejuvenated 8yr old Handicap Chase System Re: your lays. Are you going for fixed profit or fixed liability? That is the only way to work out your winnings. If you're going for 1pt liability, your winnings are 1pt divided by the odds of the horse. If its 1pt fixed profit, you win 1pt, but your liability is 1pt multipled by the horses odds. Does that help?

  2. Re: Keeping Up Appearances.....

    Saturday 2nd September 1.10 HAYDOCK Smokin Beau 1.45 HAYDOCK Ti Adora 2.20 THIRSK Majestic Halo 3.40 KEMPTON Mcnairobi 4.25 HAYDOCK Hurry Up Helen (6lb penalty) 4.35 THIRSK Esoterica 4.50 KEMPTON Peter Island 5.15 STRATFORD Eljays Boy 8 selections then - considering there's 5 meetings that's not bad. And we eliminated 10 others with the added criteria.....
    Hurry Up Helen is a non-runner, mate!
  3. Re: Haydock 2/9

    Cape:wall Royal backed it last week at Epsom & Ryan Mooe didnt get it exactly right, Spencer did. He spreadeagled them & won easy enough although the winning margin was tight. How many times do i back horses & they win NTO????:wall
    Cape Royal could have won by a greater margin today. Spencer never touched him and eased him down at the line.
  4. Re: Haydock 2/9

    In the first Cashel Mead his last 6 runs when grounds been soft he's won them all. This horse loves the rain and it looks like it's going to be heavy ground tomorrow looks the one to be on.
    Cashel Mead will be my banker of the day. Loves the mud and should go well once more. I'd have loved a bigger price, but 5/1 will have to do!:hope
  5. Re: A little goalscorer fun

    Not too sure about the odds being better than 'to score' odds, its not just 1/2 odds. Many punters forget to factor in the losing win bet. Many times Ive heard people in my shop say "Its 20/1 ,1/5 odds is still 4/1". WRONG. Its 4/1 for the place but £1 ew would return £5 for a £2 stake, thats a 20/1 shot becoming 6/4!!! So a 4/1 goalscorer here would be 2/1 for the place part. £1 ew would return £3 for a £2 stake. So you're only getting 1/2 on your whole stake. Its the possible bonus of a full payout that gives it any extra value. Sorry to sound like Im ranting and you probably know all this. It just irritates hearing people at work misunderstand the real "value" of eachway bets.
    I'm sick of having similar conversations with people who complain that betfair's place odds are never as high as 1/4 of the win odds. When in reality they should be as low as 1/8, because the win element of your bet is a loser if an eachway selection comes 2nd or 3rd. I'm glad you've also pointed this out, I thought it was me going mad!
  6. Re: muppet system It's your system and none of my business, but I can't help thinking you've got the staking plan all wrong. Your first issue is the strike rate, but that will improve as league form settles down. But surely you shouldn't be risking 10 times more money on a 8/5 selection than you do on a 1/2 bet. Simple dutching each day would reduce your losses from £46 to £14.75.

  7. Re: York 24/08 Reverence in the 2.50. I'm not convinced the favourite Dandy Man will like the cut in the ground: I think he'd like it a bit firmer. Pride of Nation in the 3.25 No write-up, but I just think this horse is far too good for the others.
