Well I have to say I got more fun out of that tenner than all the bets I placed at Ascot on Friday on horses that only wanted to run for half the race. At least Duval never gave up unlike those cheval burger destined 4 legged excuses for thoroughbreds that I bet on on Friday.


I have to say I'm booking for Tuesday at Ascot next year when there are some decent races - ones with less than 30 horses in.


Thanks for the advice ?/TLS, I have not had the confidence to lay a bet on Betfair - but do take your advice on board for next time.


Have booked to go to Kempton Wednesday night with a couple of guys from work - can't say I'm keen given my recent run.


Having read the above it all seemed doom and gloom - instead of rewriting it - I'd just like to add that I'm happier than I seem.:)

Lets put it like this my M8 was (still is??) the 5th highest earner in the World on Betfair and he has chosen to go to The USA now and miss betting on THe Mens which I can interpret as he doesn't see much beyond The Fed. Express now Rafa is out.

I rarely bet on Tennis guys - can't say I know enough about it. Federer is short odds, suspect he is not quite as good as he was and Murray could be his match, But to be honest shocks happen and I'd be happy to wait to see if they both reach the final. If Murray is really on form might back him in the final, but don't want to tie my money up for 2 weeks and worry about his every match between now and then as bookies seem to have pretty much treated him as if hes in the final already.

Would probably get 5/4 if he is against Federer in the final?


Kempton tomorrow night - not what I need - off to the the racing post website now for due diligence.....any tips welcome.

Sorry Quids - was busy yesterday - but funny enough the horse I backed for the English Derby won the Irish version. Typical.


Yes it's a bad run, but I have a record of all my bets from August last year and I'm up, but the recent run has taken half my profit, it was all going so well, but there you go, nothing lasts forever.

As a small experiment I tried laying all the favourites at Brighton yesterday....guess who won the first 4 races?


It was a small capital expenditure to see the result (call it an investment in training/education)so I am not putting it against my recent Betfair performances which have been on the right side of the ledger......


You still keeping away from the Tennis MM?

    • Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything 
    • The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
    • Looks like owner of Persepolis is opening something late summer in what was The dulwich Beer Dispensary spot…  Excited about that  
    • All I've done is post a link and you're straight on the attack, for heavens sake. And as sarky as ever. This isn't solely your forum and you don't rule the roost so stop trying to dictate and bully me.
