Daily Double Thread


Recommended Posts

On Sporting Life and in the tabloids they give punters a daily double comprised of their nap and a nb selection. I imagine there is a recommended double in the RP too although I haven't bought one in ages so aren't sure. Anyway, although we have a BBOTD thread on here and plenty of people posting their tips up individually, I thought we should start a double thread in which we can all chip in with our own doubles and see how we get on. For a while I have been under the impression that singles bets are the best way to go and that multiples are okay from time to time, but that the majority of long term profits would be achieved through singles. However, I don't think there is any harm in doing this for a while and seeing if there is any interest. It will be fun to see if we can achieve the sort of returns advertised by the betting thief in the recent thread below! I'll post mine up in a minute when i've finally decided on my nb selection, who else is in?

Re: Daily Double Thread Good to see there is some early interest in this. If interest is maintained then we could make it a regular thing, I wouldn't mind acting as the admin although we would have to look at some proper rules to make it straightforward to oversee. One step at a time though. Here's hoping for sum juicy payouts.

Re: Daily Double Thread

12.40 Lingfield - Rebel City 11/10 8.50 Kempton - Fancy Footsteps 3/1 0.5 pt EW double with Paddypower pays at least 5.18 pts if both win, 0.98 pts if both place (possible more with the bog).
Good luck with this Fin :ok This raises an interesting point which I think is worth pointing out since it might not be something people have thought about. 9/4 is the price at which a place double reaches a profit (and that's at 1/5 the odds). So if you can find 2 horses above 2/1 in a couple of 8 runner races, and they both finish 3rd, you get at least your money back, with of course a chance of making a nice profit if they both win. As with all these things, it's harder than it sounds, but I thought it worth pointing out since Fintrons double attempt is along very similar lines. :ok

Re: Daily Double Thread Mine bit the dust after the first leg......... I think it's a bit tempting to go for bigger priced EW picks.........but over the years I've never had much success with EW doubles........ Think I'll just try and pick two winners tomorrow .........forget the EW malarky ! :ok

Re: Daily Double Thread

GL 6.50 - Leading Edge GL 7.20 - Double spectre EW double...............
both placed.........12/1 and 9/2..........:nana Double Spectre was really well backed - I think it was 15/2 when I posted an hour before the 'off'............it came with a double handful to win the race then found nothing and was eased before the line...........I thought the fourth was going to catch it !................:loon Jockey would have been in the doodah if it had............
