Harry Wiseau Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 bet365 appear to have started doing place bets for all races now. not sure when it started, it used to just be on big things like the national but seems to be on all races now. I much prefer place betting to each way bets that way you can have either just go to place or put your normal amount to win then higher stakes on the place portion to ensure you cover your stake (depending on odds) they also offer not to win / place markets now too. sky have been doing places forever but I prefer 365. sky do place on the dogs as well - 3 or 3 places - the odds only go up just before the race but that's the only way I bet on dogs now. anyone ever used the jollies & rags markets? from what I gather you can bet jollies (the two / three favourites) or rags (the field) not sure if that's worth a dabble sometime.
Paid Members SiMania Posted February 26, 2017 Paid Members Posted February 26, 2017 If you're doing singles close to race off time then you're better off placing your bet on betfair exchange, better odds and they do 4 places on a lot of races. Obviously you don't get BOG or accas but you can make steady profit just by watching the markets and put place money on the horses that have a lot of late money coming in.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 1, 2017 Moderators Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Dear Max Power, Please do you have a formula for the Gold Cup? Cheers, Butch. Oh, and during Cheltenham week Wooly is banned from this thread. Anyone who once tipped 3 E/Ws in a 7 horse race is not welcome. Edited March 1, 2017 by PowerButchi
Briefcase Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I'm expecting Wooly to back Cambridge as an E/W in the boat race this April.
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 1, 2017 Paid Members Posted March 1, 2017 Wooly is doing a 50p each way double on Altior to win the Arkle and Douvan to win the Champion Chase.
Keith Houchen Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Perhaps I'm being whooshed but what if he backed Onion Terror and Zeinab Badawis Twenty Hotels at odds on but stuck a quid on Sad Ken at fifties. Isn't that quite Redknapply hedging your bets?
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 1, 2017 Paid Members Posted March 1, 2017 Stylin and Profilin was the best tipper round here, does he not post any more?
Max Power Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Dear Handsome Butch, This year's Gold Cup winner.... - Will be aged 7,8 or 9. - Will have won over 3miles. - Will not have been beaten in a previous gold cup. - Will not have run more than 3 times this season. - Will be a Grade 1 chase winner. The qualifiers.... NATIVE RIVER 4/1 OUTLANDER 10/1 SIZING JOHN 10/1 ZABANA 50/1 Personally, I don't think Zabana is good enough - but the race isn't as good on the whole this year anyway imo. I'll be backing Sizing John or Outlander. Regards.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 2, 2017 Moderators Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Awesome stuff, thanks. I was looking at Sizing John quite a lot as of late. Was going to perk for that and Empire of Dirt. Edited March 2, 2017 by PowerButchi
Max Power Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I believe Empire Of Dirt is running in the Ryanair Chase the day before.
Max Power Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 If anyone is doing an accumulator tomorrow then West Brom at 6/5 is an absolute must. They're 8th and at home to Palace, who are wank. That's my analysis.
Paid Members SiMania Posted March 3, 2017 Paid Members Posted March 3, 2017 Wooly is doing a 50p each way double on Altior to win the Arkle and Douvan to win the Champion Chase. My wife's Granny loves the racing, watches it every week without fail but doesn't bet as she doesn't want to develop a gambling problem (she's in her late 70's). But every year at Cheltenham she'll have a couple of bets that I'll place for her. Last year she couldn't make her mind up who she thought would with so got me to stick £2 ew on Don Cossack and Cue Card, she couldn't be told what a daft idea that was.
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 4, 2017 Paid Members Posted March 4, 2017 Still not as daft as wooly.
Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 7, 2017 Moderators Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) So. Today I'm in my local independent bookmakers, man asks what can he get odds wise for 750 e/w on Nouveau Ere in the 4:40 at wolverhampton. Colin the bookie phones the tote, that drops it from 12s to 8s. The whole fucking village gets on this. Me included. 9th out of 13. Plant. Edited March 7, 2017 by PowerButchi
