Had a "winner" today at Chepstow. First race on BBC, I backed a horse..... dont remember its name but it was a dead heat ... so got half the odds and won some money.


Put most of the winnings on the runner up in the Welsh National... no joy.



Is anyone else going to post on this thread?

30 October


Backed Celtic at 3/1 when 12 points behind - looking good now.


Man United not too shabby either. Backed them at 3.38 on betfair.


You can't keep good teams down.

The Celtic bet is looking good now. Did discuss this with Quids shortly after putting the money on and the potential 10 points on possible administration was a little bonus in my thinking that has materialised. But basically I felt despite the 12 point disadvantage, that Celtic were the better team. So it proved.

Early 2010 post here.

But I have backed Burtonport for Gold Cup and National a few months ago. Not sure why but he is now a considered outsider for both after chasing Long Run home yesterday albeit with 10 lbs help. Have >60-1 on both so look forward to whichever he takes part in.

Went on my Betfiar account to look at the golf odds and found some extra money - I'd forgotten I'd had an EW on a 32 outsider Something Chad on the last day at Cheltenham and it placed :))


Sooooo, going to waste it on golf but no chance to lay as I'm away on an Easter brreak, so.


So standard Each Way bets on Steve stricker - 60s

Watney (38ish)


and Probably and EW lump on Luke Donald as he's consistent enough to be a good shout for a money back via a top 5 place but also reasonable value (or was when I looked) for a win as he's not got a Major yet

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
