Request-a-Bets (was 'Sky Bets' thread)

[Istabraq]

Not sure if anyone else has had this but just seen this from Skybet. I’m a bit restricted with them anyway but may effect some people on here?

We have taken the decision to remove Best Odds Guaranteed from Money Back as Cash races.

In addition, Best Odds Guaranteed will only be available from 9am on the day of any race the promotion covers, which means we will no longer offer it pre 9am. This is to ensure we can continue to offer Best Odds Guaranteed to as many customers as possible.

Just got the same message Splinter, just a general change of strategy.
Makes sense...

[Faugheen_Machine]

Same here. Looks like it's a blanket ban on these offers, rather than targeting individual punters.

[ComplyOrDie]

Yeah, here too, on multiple accounts.

[squiggsy68]

Me too. I think it's across everyone the way that it reads.

The way that BOG has been slashed back in general recently is a real downer. I don't play much during the week but often try and do my legwork for Saturday's racing on the Friday night and often got a few bets on early.

Guess 365 will be getting the bulk of my business before 10am on day of race in future.

....if it runs this weekend, it’ll be interesting what the 100-1 on Ballyadam winning the Champion Bumper and any race at next years festival looks like on Monday.

Have you backed it eggs? I highlighted it last week and had a point on it.

Is it not just for the offer? The money back as cash races? I'm sure they are still BOG on other races?

Correct.
What they’re saying is they won’t offer money back as cash and BOG on the same race, so the first TV race each day will not carry BOG but all other races will

Cheers Ista.

I wonder if they will go with offer 1st race of festival each day again this year.

[Eggs]

...oh yes, I had to have a little on that.

It’s a big ‘if’, but if it’s as good as the betting suggests and scoots up in the Champion Bumper, then it’s a nice voucher to be sitting on for 12 months. If not, then it was a bit of interest.

(Edit; I note it’s into 50-1 this morning).

Requested this one - some FJ 2020 favs here...

Supasundae, Easy Game, Allaho & Column Of Fire all to finish placed - 45/1

[taylorch1990]

Just seen this one and thought it represented good value so had a couple of quid on it. Supasundae (AR) & Column Of Fire (AR) both to place & & Allaho (MC) & Champagne Classic (NHC) both to win @ 225/1

Had this last week - lovely value

[Istabraq]

Paisley Park and Appreciate It to win, Alanmankind, Suapsundae and Asterion Forlonges all to place.
100/1

Thought that was OK

[Big Bucks]

Supasundae being in so many of these makes me cautious, one that can shit on you the very first day! Want a bit of a sweat! Think I'm happy enough with what I have with him.

I also did this one for small stakes a couple of weeks ago although when I worked out the odds in my head based on guessing their respective SPs it came out a similar price. Since then there has been a fair bit of support for Supsundae and Alloha so I’d calculate the SP odds roughly as follows:

Supasundae place 3/1
COF place 6/4
CC win 7/2
Alloha 3/1

=180/1 so not bad, but not amazing
