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

Surely it's something you want to request much closer to the fez as prices potentially shorten?

One of them might not be there to defend it at that stage though.

It was just a thought, looks like its a damp squib.

Just looked through Skybet specials for the first time in a while. Came across one which I think is very fair. The Big Getaway and Put The Kettle On both to be placed in top 4 in any race @ 9/1. Couldn't resist that one.

I'm not sure how to weigh up the actual odds (obviously Sky would feel they are ahead), 29/1 for the place double paying 3 places, does anyone have a rule with regards to additional places offered?

Top 4 means top 4 regardless of actual number of runners on the day. Thats how I see it anyway. You say 29/1 for the place double paying 3 places........but we don't even know which races they'll turn up in yet ??

[Lobos]

Just looking at the Sky TWAR prices for TBG and PTKO, if you could do aTWAR Ew double (which I don't think you can) the place 1/5th odds first 3 pays just over 10/1 I think so 9/1 4 places is very generous.

Yes, I know what top 4 means And admittedly I was basing it on the two races I suspect the two horses with partake in

In which case, this is of interest, cheers Lobos

Sorry, didnt mean it to come out that way.

Those that have Sky accounts it could be worth requesting other doubles like this for 4 places ? I don't bet Ew but place only doubles would certainly be on my radar.

Not sure if this has already been highlighted but under the Flat Racing RequestABets there is the following:

Pinatubo to win the English 2000 Guineas and Queens Brook to win the Mares Novices Hurdle at 2021 Cheltenham Festival
50/1

If you add the two individual selections into oddschecker the best priced double is around 24/1 with Ladbrokes (10/11 and 12/1)

I don't ever mess with flat but been sucked into a Pinutabo/Shiskin double by a mate. That's Pinutabo beat for sure !

Careful with this. Haven't checked today but they had it up as the mares chase rather than mares hurdle when I looked yesterday.

Just checked again - they've changed it and I'm adding it. Cheers SC

As others have mentioned great spot and a great price so I've had a bit as well.
