    I've seen that graphic on Twitter(assuming same one) and it's indeed selected horses as the list wasn't that long but had stellar names and some as low as 141 etc. I praised him as soon as i ran some figs after the race and picked up it was abnormally quick and not just a load of non buzzers behind like many originally thought so I'm not bashing said horse, just didn't think was correct was all.

      That’s absolutely fair Outlaw. I was at Punchestown on Saturday & I’ve never seen so many jaws on the floor & such a loud round of applause for a horse passing the finishing post in a beginners chase as I did in the stands on Saturday,.

      Regular Irish race going crowds wouldn’t be bowled over terribly easily either. That might lead me to being a little bit biased but feck it I’m happy to put my neck on the chopping board in this case.

      • For anyone lucky to have a Bet365 account, they have a NFL market for a player to throw the most interceptions. American Football > Futures > NFL Futures 23/24 > Most interceptions thrown regular season.

        Now the market is led by Josh Allen (Buffalo) and Sam Howell (Washington) at 7/2 each, both have thrown 13 Ints in 12 games. The next on that list is Mac Jones with 12 Ints. Mac Jones lost the starting job with New England, media only reporting this in last hour or so. The nearest challengers have 10 Ints thrown each, full breakdown below
        https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/playe...tions/dir/desc

        Both Allen and Howell have played one game more than the chasing pack, however that pack have 6 games left to play versus the market leaders having 5. I cannot foresee either of them being caught to be honest. Backing both will come in at 5/4 (both currently 7/2)

          Never underestimate Dak Prescott's ability to throw interceptions when it matters.

            Yet you’re happy to blindly back & cheerlead two French fancies that have never raced beyond the English Channel. How many bags did you lose on the Warrior backing him on the nose in the Fred Winter?
            He could win but , as I posted before, he's got a big Q mark hanging over him re being able to produce his best around Cheltenham and that will stay with him whatever he does leading up to March. With the amount he had in hand prior to his Fred Winter run and the hurdle Rating he was given leading up to his Ballymore run he should have a Festival win in the bag already.......but he hasn't.

            From memory I think I had 10 points on him to win the Fred Winter. Didn't get involved with him this year.

            As for the French fancies I've had small FOMO singles on I'll Est Francais and don't have a penny on Theleme as a single so I think you are mixing me up with someone else ?? I'm certainly no cheerleader

            I've actually backed GW in small reversed doubles with IET (BANC and Turners) at humongous odds just in case GW loses his Festival Bridesmaid tag so I may at some point in the week actually be cheering him on. Doubt it though !

              He was well in on the handicaps for the Boodles - 2nd

              if I recall correctly, he was one of the top RPR rated novies hurdlers - 2nd

              he’s now one of the high RPR novice chaser ever seen

              there’s a reason why he’s not winning the big ones at the fez

              Willie mentioning “there’s always the option of running him in the stayers” just says it all

              GW backers have two options

              1) back him at silly short prices when he runs RH
              2) back him at short prices when he runs LH

              For me, happy to let him go

              • Probably going to regret this but Trump is playing back to his best, so going to chance him with a couple of roll ups as the price looks very fair, Selby wont be easy and then it might end with Ronnie in the final but 11/4 looks worth it to me.

                  I remember my last Trump roll up disaster.
                  And someone mentioned the 2020 Column of Fire and Goshen incidents too.
                  Looks like people are trying to finish me off....

                  • Glenavon +1 Goal v Coleraine on Saturday is my NAP in the NI Prem this week ... chancing it in a few rolls ups ... 5 wins in a row under new manager, 4 clean sheets, full of confidence v a team not playing well at and missing a few big players

                    8/11 on 365, 4/6 most places

                      • Feel ashamed writing something like this but nella rose to get first voted out on I'm a celeb seems a decent roll up bet considering she's just kicked fred off from being cook and is getting slagged off all over social media

                        • I don't see the shame to be honest.

                          'Specials' is my next go to market after horse racing to be honest. And on the old BEX stats was often my most profitable. Used to go down on the Betfair forum in the specials sections in the day. There's just so much data available these days that anything that is down to a public vote can be analysed. Chuck in judging someone's character and I'm all over it!

                          Great markets to trade in as well as they go on for so long and move a lot as the true characters emerge. Bellew was 30s when I mentioned him and is now 5s. He's had a good run to date but is very capable of quickly turning though so I'd be getting out at 5s, if I hadn't already.

                          Fred an example of someone that's gone the other way. Looked a likely strong candidate at the start and was almost fav. Now he's in the 100s.

                          Being a football fan is one of my main passions but I don't really bet on it.

                              • Sharjah at 4/1

                                Against 2 horses that fell short in g1s last season.

                                I feel a wheelbarrow job coming on.
