General Chat

Been an absolute minefield backing willie mullins horses this season

Monkfish
Ferny hollow
Appreciate it
Allegorie de vasy
Sharjah

All high profile injuries

At the start of the season I was expecting kilcruit ballymore sir gerhard supreme which looks very likely the wrong way round

GDC bafflingly likely to take on Bob in the turners

Blood path for punters, but the bookies must absolutely love it. It would be interesting to see how much some decisions cost/make them.

Going back to the multiples / cash outs chat, I find myself looking at my 'life changers' every day at the moment and wishing I'd combined them slightly differently. Most of them have some really good prices but are let down by one leg. And then they'll be another placed a day later that has all different races and is in the same position and it seems like I could very reasonably have compiled at least one to have real high hopes. Like I'll have two trebles with six different runners, four of them will look great shouts but they'll be split between the two bets... with a NR in both.

Really just need to stop looking

Benjy…I feel your pain. I’ve done this so many times over the years, but this year I have taken a slightly different approach that is working to a degree at this stage though actual results on evening of 18th! I’ll point out it only really works with 365 as well this based on how their system allows the staking & perming.

This year I’ve been perming selections in multi bets. So where I’ve fancied a couple I’ve popped them both in & just halved the stake….this works particularly well with cash outs / in play decisions as well. If you bank on 2 for example you can then flex the other 2 etc. A recent example (one of the great benefits of NRNB) is the following:

Mares - QB 14s
Pertemps - SDB 12s
Fred - GW 5s
County - State Man 10s & TB 12s
Pipe - State Man 10s & CE 8s

This is a permed ew L31 as I wanted State Man in either race. The other selections in that race are the other main ones I fancy. He’ll be a voided leg in one & I didn’t want to be done over by him should he then beat my selection in the other.

Instead of having 62 lines at 0.3pts I’ve instead got 186 lines at 0.1pts.

I’m a bit late to the party but I’m gonna try & do an Ante Post Diary in the members section for my multis later if I get chance. I’m not staking more but spreading the risk slightly if you see what I mean!

Just fired off an email to 365 tell them their taking the piss on keeping NRNB money back to make interest on it for 365. Yesterday i had to go though live chat to get monies back for Galahad Quest and this morning I've had to do it again for Saint Felicien which had backed for the Martin Pipe. Told them im going though all my bets with them this afternoon to see how much their milking the NRNB.

Just found 5 more NRNB’s where the horse I have backed is not in the betting for the race I have backed them for. Definitely making money out of unsettled NRNB bets via interest !!

Have you checked the markets in the last few days, I doubt any bookmaker invests any of its' cash reserves but if one did they'd be alot worse off now than they were last week...

It is frustrating, but they should start voiding the bets next week at the 6 day dec stage. That's what they did last year.

yeah I really doubt they're holding on to it to gain interest tbh

Went to racing app and it shows 5/6.
Though I expect FJ are already mostly on bigger prices already

I am already on from a while ago , They are doing these (b365) all this week i believe . just thought if it was a decent boost and some weren't already on.

Thanks Ista!

Didn't want to clog up the preview night thread - Are there any broadcast online that really focus on the handicaps? I really don't need another evening spent listening to Shishkin vs Energumene, or where Sir Gerhard goes. Used to live for the FFP/ATR one, but it's unwatchable with Chapman involved

Couldn't agree more robith
So many of these previews spend hours on the championship races where, if we're honest, there really isn't much that we don't know already, where we learn things are in the handicaps and the odd novice who is off the radar but has either improved or there are genuine reasons for poor performance(s).
30 mins on how good Honeysuckle has been and whether fillys should be getting allowances is dull listening for me...

For anyone interested in it, I've added some more posts to the Psychology and Betting thread
