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

[Magpie]

Forget my comment about going to right race, Bosses and Wide Receiver is any race and other ones are set in stone.

...given the posts on here suggesting Blackbow might be going down the handicap route, Sky offer Blackbow/Wide Receiver a/r @ 100-1.

[Eggs]

...haven’t noticed this one, but it might have been on for a while;

Shishkin Ark/CC & Monkfish RSA/GC 117-1 (with Hills boost).

[Eggs]

....Kilcruit to win the CB & a/r next year was quickly reduced from 12-1 to 15/2 with Sky this morning as I waited for my free bet to materialise.

Sky have one of their festival favourite doubles again, this time it's Chacun Pour Soi (CC) and Monkfish (RSA), boosted from 3/1 to 5/1.

15/2 is disgusting

.....bit surprised that one was unchanged this morning (after Monkfish won yesterday) but notice it is now 66-1.

Some of these prices for 2022 are an absolute joke!

Yes we have what looks a proper set of exceptional novice chasers etc.

Horses are priced as if they have already won at 2021 never mind 2022.

Very sad times indeed for antepost 7 and a half to one for a bumper horse

a huge ?5 allowed for me.

I don't get sky at the mo. I'm a fairly low stake guy, not restricted in any way ordinarily and yet all the cheltenham specials they've been throttling like mad for me.

Like I know we're not supposed to talk absolute stakes here, but I'm not going to the arse of another sky account to place ?10 on that

I’ve just come off a live chat with Sky and it’s clear their approach has changed, probably a result of their sale to Betfair/PP.
One small lucky 15 and limit reached, I’m unable to include any of those selections in further multiples, there is no re-setting of limits which is a joke and a massive change from previous strategy.
Very very disappointing....

I've just done a small antepost lucky with sky bet, be interesting to see if they let me use those horses in other multis next week.

I think it depends in what your limit is, I know we don’t talk money generally but to emphasise the point I will, I asked for a ?10ew lucky and was allowed ?7.50 and now cannot use any of those four selections again.
Staggering really...

It is really, the stopping of you using any of the 4 horses again is taking the piss. My stakes are lower so maybe i will be ok.

Piss take that. Can tolerate them having a limit but to then stop you using them again is out of order

I assumed the limit would re-set every week as it has been with the Request a Bets.
Saxon Warrior I think it was who goes in every week to press bets with several bookmakers as the limit gets re-set.
I was under no illusions when Sky got sold but this does grate...
