Took some more profit on my Villa relegation bet by laying them at 1.65

Ditto on my QPR bet


As I was on Betfair I thought I'd do some mug punting too. So laid Man U at 1.4 for the title, just one slip up or a loss at city and I'll trade; Did a small bet on Ros? for the Open at 35; England out right winners of 6 nations at 2.75, thoughts Mr Medic?

England look good but two wins do not make a 6 nations title. And you will do well to win in Dublin anyway. if you do, you cannot take wins against Wales/France (or even Italy) for granted.

Cheltenham fantasy, yes for me.


Just checking my live bets. Have backed On His Own (12 Feb ante post) at 14s for the National. Can Willy Mullins do the business again for Ireland. Has 10:10 in the weights.


No bets on the festival yet.


Tonights golf have addedFowler and Yang to my list as all others have disappeared from contention. Expensive business.

Back 'D.A. Points' for ?20.00 @ 32 to Win ?620.00 Ref: 26085998923 | Bet placed: 18:08 28-Mar-2013 GMT


I stuck to my guns and held out on my bet until the end. This was despite the attentions of the arch "hedger" Mr Quids who was visiting for dinner and insisted I should take a ?70 profit at 830pm , but bottle held out for the big prize. :)

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!)
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • 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.
