Betting Matters....

[red devil]

Damn those pesky colts...

[Mick Mac]

Far be it for me to gloat.I.had split my 100 holiday betting fund 20 tartan and 80 on rip. So a nice 130 profit on today!ballydoyle always said it was a top horse.just had to get to the front early.

[red devil]

He certainly did that, expected Ghanaati to quicken but nothing in her tank...

[Kells]

Well done MM, your faith has paid off then! I still think Ghaanati is a good filly, and she's only 3, so plenty of racing in her yet. I can't remember Paco Boy's run at Ascot, I think I was there as well. Back to the drawing board for me then....

B O L L O X

nice one though MM

[????]

I also layed less than 1.5 goals at 5.6 , west ham v spuds, 1-0 to the tossers with a Defoe goal bad foookin day

[Mick Mac]

Can anyone copy and paste the arc odds? I cannot access betting sites on b berry: thanks. Mm .

Best price RVW 26(Decimal) with Stan James and Coral...can't C&P the whole oddschecker page

[Mick Mac]

That looks good to me.I guess though that factors in doubts whether he will run. But if he does I'd give him a good chance.

Stewards' Cup tomorrow, high draw horses had the advantage in todays 6 furlong charge + rain forecast around lunchtime = Sonny Red...

[????]

I am licking my betting wounds and mainly playing poker....two decent long term bets looking good - Anderson top England wicket taker and Pompey to be relegated at 6s ready to trade (currently 4ish)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Perhaps you should lay off on Onions?

[Mick Mac]

What went wrong quids? Did you really lay rip van winkle?or was it something else? I just don't see the fun in laying the whole fun for me is to get the odd decent win now and again which puts everything right.as you said to me once 10 profitable laid bets can all go in one losing lay. However in a big handicap that is probably a good time to lay most of the field. As a backer I find big handicaps are the ones to avoid.anyone know when Rip is running next I want to chase the dragon.

MM - laying is THE rush...real balls needed ;-)

Laying does show you how much bollocks real bookies have - (not the corporate fellas)

West Ham/spurs f*cked me up laying ?10 at 5.6 for under 1.5 goals, 1-0 to THEM and Defoe got it....three lots of pain

I didn't lay RVW I bet the 2nd favourite

[????]

Mac - big handicap say 15 runners, laying at say ?10 - you don't want a 14/1 to come in every 14 races let alone the 20+s that win them once in a while - you're better laying favourites or short odds horses that you don't fancy

[Mick Mac]

I guess so. Ill stay clear of what I don't feel comfortable with.

[????]

.....but you should start trading :)

Tempted by Chelski @ 11/5 to win the Premiership, even though I'm a diehard Utd fan, to win the league 4 years running is a big ask, physically and emotionally it must catch up with the players, I thought some of them just didn't turn up in the Champs League final. Liverpool flattered last season and Alonso will be hard to replace, Arsenal have too much ground to make up and are selling their best players, and Citeh will need time for all the new players to bed in.

EW bets for other divisions - QPR @ 18's, MK @ 10's and obviously Notts C @ 5's...

[????]

Oh, ok.....Layla's Hero 4.50 Goodwood

I backed Chelsea last year....

[????]

I think MM returns to Blighty today but I'm off on my hols tomorrow with no internet so won't be participating in the US open; licking my wounds on the nags; preparing my football bets.

In the meantime sitting on a few long terms looking ok for trading- Pompey down and Aussies for the Ashes.

See ya punters.

[????]

As it happens I've just had a tip "Should win" of a reasonable source - If Only, 5.10 Lingfield...usual caveats, don't shoot the messenger, etc

[red devil]

Happy hols Quids, I'm sure your missus won't mind you popping into the internet cafe every now and then for 'work related' purposes...;-)

*checks telescopic sight on rifle*

[????]

If Only........

[Mick Mac]

Good

hols quids I'm back tomorrow but hope you get some internet access while away don't you have it on your phone ? Anyway I'm looking forward to a few bets when back

[????]

On civilan phone MM - I lock the work one away
