Has anyone got a positive profit/loss from Sky RAB's overall?

Or specifically ante post?

....lots on here were on the 75-1 Envoi/Samcro any race RaB last year. I certainly was and it definitely put me well ahead on that market.

Opening old wounds, Column of Fire/Old Graingewood a/r place Min/Champ a/r win was 250-1. Plenty in la la land had that landed.

I think that's your answer ..........stick to maximum of double only. Anything beyond that and punters are just lining bookies pockets imo.

Absolutely. A cocktail of four is probably a bridge too far.

...and as with all our ante-post punts, get on early as the prices significantly drop if the selections look useful once the season starts.

Lobos and Saxon Warrior i take it your not doing the forum yankees as you state to a maximum of doubles only?

Was the first Pre NRNB RAB market?



I can see why people "throw" free bets or a few quid at them, but I struggle to see why this thread is so popular all year long.

Unless there is a rick in the market where something is priced up incorrectly, which is pretty rare...

....the Envoi/Samcro RaB was flagged up very early on, I certainly backed it well ahead of nrnb.

I’ve had more of a go at it this time, probably because of lockdown. I tend to look at Hills a/r market prices to determine if the RaB offers some value.

I only placed about 7 or 8 last year and one was the 75/1 Samcro and envoi Allen double.

And the year before I had 3 or 4.

Before that, didn’t get involved on the Request A Bets antepost.

So I can legitimately say I am in profit from them.

Not for me no. Lost sooooo much on Yankees over the years. Learnt my lesson......... finally!

This far out, thats true, I would rather have 11 different doubles than a Festival yankee.

The chances of one dropping out knocks out 7 bets out of 11 in every yankee, so I would do any Cheltenham yankees when the season is in full swing, and targets and form are developing more than we know at the moment.

I do have a couple of yankees at the moment that have all selections at double figures (my normal modus operandi), and which include flat racing and Cheltenham combined.

For me, that lowers the chances of avoiding some non-runners a little, when playing small stakes at longer odds.
(I have a a mix of Frankly Darling, English King, Oxted, Hamish mixed in with Minella Indo, Thyme Hill, PTKO, Easywork).

it looks like Pricewise has followed in on the Oxted formline/trainers plan, for the July Cup in todays Racing Post, but B365 still go 20/1 which seems fair enough.

I had 5 points on the Envoi Allen/Samcro double when it first went up, and a couple of doubles that also paid well to made it a profitable source last season. I was also on the Column of Fire in two multiples 5 points at 125/1 and 2 points at 175/1, which was a big kick in the nads when he fell as it would have made the Sky Bet Specials a massive winner in my book.

There are ricks in the market also. The different combinations of Shishkin, Envoi Allen, Easysland and Epatatante have all been overpriced as doubles and trebles. Some for Envoi Allen have been any race.

Also it allows you to get horses placed in with market leaders/fancied horses at big odds. Very valuable in my opinion.

I've found it profitable, but choosing the more exotic bets from it is very much a personal thing.

My advice is to split yankees down into the separate treble and doubles SW. There's no disadvantage other than it taking a few extra seconds, and by doing so you can react to part of the bet if there's any adverse news or a possible change of target. That way you don't lose a double at tasty odds that you'll no longer get because you cashed out the full yankee.

I mostly think they're pretty poor - only had the EA/Samcro double come in. I only back them if they're a bet I want to place anyway and they're giving a bigger price
