Same happened last year. Clearly the horse is pretty much finished and they know it. Give him his retirement he owes them nothing . Great horse but sadly finished.

These so called tipping shows and tipsters are getting worse in my opinion. They give that many different horses, 3 or 4 a race. Its inevitable that some will win!! Kealey from the Racing Post is a prime example. I often see adverts saying " such and such a horse, tipped at 7/1 by our top tipster blah blah blah" Forgetting that he had 10 consecutive losers and picks 2 or 3 horses a race. The best 'tipping' show pre Corona, was the one held by Matt Chapman, featuring the likes of Blake, Codd, Thomas Mullins etc. Good entertainment and some useful snippets. But now all these tipsters via these skype calls do my head in. 99% pure nonsense. Villa Chris and MCLARKE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedthewolf Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The reason i put it up i and others used to put the cheltenham preview nights onto a thread to watch each year i enjoy watching them doesn't mean i'm going to follow there tips indeed most the talk is non handicaps which i very raely bet in but enjoy the different views of people and enjoy watching those big races. Have been to a preview nights in the past Gordon Elliott never really give much away Winstanley was entertaing but a bit over the top Richard Hollis give good insight to some of the big handicaps. That just about sums previews nights up a fun night out where you hear a lot of nothing but get odd snippet of useful information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Chris Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Ted I had to add Vintage Clouds this morning . Good course form and he usually runs very well off 143 or around that mark . Be surprised if he won but 20/1 7 places that’s where it’s at for me. The ground isn’t too soft for him either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheltenham is great , but it's now becoming over hyped year in year out the be all & end all because of the bookies , the amount of £ they make over 4 days it's like Xmas for them ! I've asked one of my mates what he's backed today , would have been easier asking what he hadn't , you don't have to have a bet in each race , rather like going racing on a 7 race card I probably only have 4 bets over 3 races , then again , I'm probably weird or sensible ?

Yip last 2 wins came at a mark off 143 at around this trip i've gone in again @22/1 e/w 7place your probably right as in more chance of a place than win it but not without a chance. If it dirfts more i may have another wee bit on e/w 7 places! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zilzalian Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 For me. The whole point of betting is my judgement against the judgements of others, i watch racing all year, i do speed figures to see if they back up my thoughts on what i have seen. its my hobby and i make money from my hobby. One of the biggest barriers to me making money from my judgements is outside influences, some influences are good most are just pure lazy bandwaggoning and sucking up to hype, if you dont know your subject then it is my opinion there is no point in betting because you will lose long term. these so called experts/previews always seem to produce consensus between them, they have very little variation and generally revolve around the fav. rather than watch them i spend my time watching relevant races it is far more productive. The best tool by far we have as punters is now youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Chris Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Two strong favourites winning with ease. Both a class above their competition but can see the big names running well this festival. Monkfish and Envoi Allen will surely win their races unless a fall prevents them from doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a decision you have to make, if it is well tipped or being well backed you may still want to take the price. Had not so sleepy today could of taken 66 or 80 this morning Sp was 150 I believe unfortunately Sky were only 4 places not 5 as I believe WH were. So no no use anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa Chris Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 That’s how I always thought it worked but thought I read the other day that some sites do a SP that if the horse drifts you’ll get that bigger price but if it shortens you’ll still be left with your initial price. May have read it wrong . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
