Betting Matters....

Spurs at 40 is better IMO, and Sunderland for the drop

[Mick Mac]

Yes but I placed my bet at SP squids. Spurs were not 40 then, were they. ..

Are you saying Mick you've never added to your original investment (apart from winnings)?

Also had a punt on the PO flotation as it looks like a no brainer......I expect my lefty mates will be livid but i don't think they read this bit much :)

I hope you were not too greedy Quids.

The Telegraph understands that plans being drawn up in Whitehall could see those who applied for tens of thousands of pounds worth of shares excluded from the stock market flotation next week. They will be told of the decision tomorrow.

It had previously been thought that all investors who applied for shares would be granted some stock - although it is now expected that tens of thousands of more wealthy investors will be snubbed.

The exact "cut-off" point will be decided today, but is likely to be those who applied for more than between ?40,000 and ?50,000 worth of shares. It may be set as low as ?10,000.

Others may receive fewer shares than they had hoped.

I am below their radar - but not expecting a 100% allocation...I presume you remortgaged the house etc?

[Mick Mac]

I'm getting ?750 shares as with anyone else asking for up to 10000. Over that you get nout.

[????]

Oh well, ?250 or so is still ?250

[Mick Mac]

Anyone else on Farrh today in the big race. just watched it on record as was at the cinema with the kids earlier. A pleasant surprise and it was the panels tip on the morning line this morning so lots of people will have been on it.

[Alan Medic]

Have you looked at the racing competition recently? I had the first two. I think I did well and I had an ew bet on Top Notch Tonto today. Perhaps RD can publish the results here?

[Mick Mac]

Sorry AM. I have not really looked at the league placings lately but did see that you were doing well. Well done.

[red devil]

Final League Table...

Well done Argyle...

[Alan Medic]

I'd be dangerous if I knew anything about horses!

[red devil]

You'd be even more dangerous if you knew how to log in and check the table for yourself...

[Mick Mac]

Well done Declan. Hats off. Well done RD.

[Mick Mac]

Breeders Cup weekend. Customarily it's good for losing a few quid.

I still keep hearing this offer of a 'free' bet on the radio. How are you doing ????'s?

[????]

Still not hit an accie : (, but I've missed a few weekends and the've still offered me a free bet anyway...free bets I am below odds...so poor betting is not allowing me to see if there are any catches for winners!

In other news, 66/1 on a 5-0 whitewash after the first test is looking nice!

Horses - anyone got any views on the King George?

I fancy Dynaste, second to fav Cue Card recently, but hoping that with all the rain we've had that form can be overturned...

[????]

I do too RD...my mum,s up and she loves the racing so big day for some of us in the family.

[red devil]

A friend's Boxing Day ritual is for all the family to go and watch the Hammers...well it is the season of miracles.

Speaking of which, Man Utd 16's to win PL, would be rude not to, covered by top four finish at 5/4...well I can dream :)
