Got good odds of 2/1 antepost. He was never deserving of 8/13 that was too short.


Rip has done my summers betting record a big favour. He now heads to the Bredeers Cup Classic and I have backed him at 3/1. He may come up against STS again there, who is also entered.

Mile and a quarter gives Rip a chance to avenge his Eclipse defeat to STS ( Rip was a close second and also suffered a smack on the nose from Kinane's whip in the run in ).

Bit of an amateur in here. I have an ongoing competition with a workmate where we each bet a fiver on 4 football results each week. This is coming to a close this season sooner than usual due to redundancy so I need your help. At the moment due to his massive win of ?3.98 I'm in dire need of getting 4 correct in one week to overtake him. He won when the last WC qualifiers were on and picked dead certs. Today I got 3 right but WBA let me down. So I will select for next week the most popular guesses on here so long as the winnings amounts to more than ?3.98. I'm assuming he won't win again. Over to you professionals! Take your time. I don't have to have my entry in till Friday.We can select anything that's on the coupon.

Might be better to be on the football thread Declan. Thats where you will get the football experts. They post their score predictions each Friday and you can make use of that info.


There are a few footie fans on here though who might help, but personally I think picking footie results is quite tricky and your guess will be as good as anyone elses.

No, we do all sports Declan, but even though you might not want to post on the Footie thread, the predictions are interesting and worth reading.


From a betting perspective however, I used to do 5 team accumulators with my mates in Ireland 20 odd years ago - all the talk the next day was of the one team that let them down - so your dilemma is not a new thing - the bookies depend/know that one team will probably mess up.


I always think betting is about going with your own view, so trust yourself.

Not at all Declan - Not 20 years experience, quite the opposite - I decided very quickly that football accumulators are a bad bet. Have for 20 years only done single bets. The odds reflect the chances. If you have 4 teams and the odds stack up to 5/1 then guess what, you will only get that 1 week in 5 if you are lucky. Its tricky.

I agree STS is fantastic - but I have been a fan of Rip all season and I would love to see him have the last laugh and win the Breeders Cup Classic.


If STS remains unbeaten and wins the Arc and the Classic then he is the best horse ever, I will just find it amazing if he does that.


I think Rip will challenge him hard in the Classic over 10 furlongs - that I think is Rips best distance - and looking again at the Eclipse replay its a fantastic race and very little between them. If you look closely too you will see where Rip stalls briefly in the run to the line as Kinane's whip hits his nose, at that point Rip was catching. That little bit of controversy just gives Rip an outside chance in a rematch.


Eclipse

I was surprised by Zacinto......I know he's only 3, but his last couple of runs haven't been too impressive, and then he goes and pulls that one out of the bag.


I'm think that accumulators are a bad bet. Makes me think of Placepot Pete, one of the customers in the bookies where I used to work - it was ALWAYS the last horse that let him down. And that was his wife's hosuekeeping money for the rest of the week gone. Same with football. Chelsea getting beat by Wigan - that would have let me down.

Cheers RD. Yes I was more than a little worried, my horses finishing second is a feeling I had my fair share of earlier in the summer, so I was relieved to see Rip see off that challenge.


I have just done my research for the Arc and have backed Vision D'Etat and Conduit. STS too short to consider.


Vision D'Etat has won 2 group ones this year and is a course and distance winner too. Olivier Peslier knows how to win the Arc too and he is booked to ride.

Conduit has been a fantastic horse the last two years. Is a Breeders Cup turf winner and has not been raced since July. Racing Post pundits say the long straight at Longchamp will suit him as he comes from the back of the pack and suits a long run in.


9/1 Conduit and 17/1 Vision D'Etat - smallish bets as we know who the likely winner will be, so just betting to have an interest in the race.

well i dont bet odds on quids. Some lucky people got ante post odds on sts so good luck. I on the other hand, wish to keep recent winnings, and have looked at small bets on value and will enjoy the race whatever happens. The breeders cup will be a different story when Rip beats golden balls.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
