Mick Mac Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 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.:) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6740-betting-matters/page/2/#findComment-216512 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Mac Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 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.

Mick Mac Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 backed the lions in both games. Another 50 yesterday. Will have to start choosing my bets more carefully.

Mick Mac Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 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.

Mick Mac Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Cheers Tommy - I will give that a try if I lose my job. But as I earn well in excess of ?33m I'm not tempted to try that just yet.

???? Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 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?

Mick Mac Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Just an outsider ?10 on Hewitt at 46s. Have not really got the confidence to go large on Federer or Murray.

Mick Mac Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Yes, very good Quids. I'm now betting on things I don't expect to happen, a bad tactic, borne of the search for longer odds and bigger winnings from smaller stakes.

Mick Mac Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Don't often bet on golf - but you have encouraged me - I have put ?10 on Graeme McDowell at 25/1. He had a good US Open and peaks around this time of year.
