Betting Matters....

I've gone for Ocean War at 14/1...

[camberwell70]

WOW!

[Alan Medic]

Well that jockey should be tied up with Chris Ashton and thrown in the river.

[Mick Mac]

Should have switched. Damn.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Fortunately we just had a family bet. I lost 20p on Ocean War.

Cocky little jockey what? Great finish but if I was his trainer I'd haul him over the coals for standing/pulling before crossing the line.

[????]

For the want of a shoe :X

[Mick Mac]

You queen...?

[????]

Done my pud on Donald for US Open....course should suit him. 30 on Betfair (on Friday)

[????]

...also, traitor that I am, layed England in the U21 for a few quid. 5.7 for England to win is a stooopid price. After Spain beat them i may hedge this back.

[????]

Er, actually got Donald at 20...and that's looking poor now. Was going to do Frankel but 1/3 on NO WAY...

...anyone seen mick?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

He died from a surfeit of whisky macs.

[Alan Medic]

Must be bad. He hasn't mentioned his love child Rory..........the golfer

90 at 22/1 makes ?2k. Not many fancied him after the masters but I stayed with him. A friend suggested I should take 750 for the bet on Friday night. But I chose not to hedge, or even ask advice from ????..... It's the big one. 3 holes to go.

Canford Cliffs is fav to beat Frankel in Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. Should be a big race.

[Berty B]

It doesn't matter how Queally rides Frankel, there is no way he will beat Canford

[????]

Berty B, your certainty has just encouraged me to lay Frankel at 2.68 on Betfair....and I don't even know you.

[????]

RD about...what's his view? Or ask Mick and do the other one :)

[red devil]

While I was in the 'Quiet Room', I read a story (not in The Sun I might add) about a punter who had been backing dead certs, I wonder how he's got on since...

Dead Cert...

I'll get back to you on Frankel

Humph.....

I'm looking forward to this race. Don't know much about canford cliffs but if he is fav ahead of frankel he must be special.

[Berty B]

As undoubtedly talented as Frankel is, I don't believe he can handle the devastating turn of foot that Canford Cliffs possesses. The form of Frankel's demolition job in the 2000 Gunineas has taken a few too many knocks now for my liking whereas Canford Cliffs proved his class with his comfortable despatching of the 'super mare' Goldikova. ???? I would feel very confident if I were you and I would suggest your faith is well placed!

He is not favourite any longer. I'm going on Frankel.

I've been very disciplined with my betting for about a year now. No bets for the sake of it - doing proper(ish) reserach and 5% of my bankroll max...and, some decent results. Then last night, flight delayed, got chatting to to right Geeeeezers from Kent who have a dog running at the last race at Sittingbourne tomorrow, Dappy Dipper or somethings, so gonna have a punt on that....I'll never learn :))

I made a few quid on the Golf thanks to trading

I had a win when Uruguay beat Peru

I've got England to win the first test with a no-draw bet (ie reduced odds but if it's a draw I get my money back)

I also think Suarez as top goalscorer at 20 is MASSIVE value

And I've a lay on Frankel still :-S

[Mick Mac]

If you want to lay any more - let me know.

Those odds do look generous, but maybe the bookies are reflecting his continued involvement in the Copa America...and new season is only 3 weeks away

[Mick Mac]

And we don't count the ones where he throws the ball into the net.
