Same but then the bookies would probably try and not pay out because someone transferred you a fiver months ago or some nonsense.Originally posted by Odin View PostComment

I'd have cashed out the 21k and left 316k to play for. Madness cashing out both once you've got yourself to that position IMO.Originally posted by HoldenTheReins View PostComment

100% would of done the same. Bank some profit and leave the bigger win to runOriginally posted by charlie View PostComment

... but, if I told you the outcome, wouldnt that be classified as after timing (lol)Originally posted by Lobos View Post
Anyway... given you asked :-)
It was back in 2017... Fez.... had a bad Thursday and bad start to the Friday. Nothing was working so went back to the basic - a WIlliam Hill pen and circling anything that stuck out in the race card... trainer, jockeys, colour combinations... anything that stood out. Threw in a wild acca consisting of 2 horses in each of the last 3 races.
Leg 1 had Pacha Du Polder (like most, thought the horse should have won the year before with Pendleton on board, and, racing in the Big Buck colours, so through it in)
Leg 2 had Champaign Classic ("just back GE/giggins horse")
Leg 3 had the Nichols / JP horse, Le Prezien who was Fav that day. I think I had the Theinval included in that acca too
The first two landed, I went back an forth whether to cash out. Left the bet on, all the way up to the false start. Cashed out. The Theinval ended up placing if I recall, and Le Prezien was close but didnt feature... so it worked out for me that this occassion
I remember walking away from Cheltenham a happy man, especially given the previous 2 days were tough for me
However, I cant tell you how annoyed the following season... if I followed the same basic, blind, "just stick 0.1pt on it" logic... the betting slip would have looked like this
- Polder in the foxhunter (25/1)
- GE's giggins horse again in the Martin pipe, Blow By Blow (11/1)
- Le Preizen (15/2)
... yeah... funny how things find a habit of repeating themselves lolComment

Watching The Finishing Line, laughing at them moaning about paying ?7.50 for a guinness, served in a paper coffee cup lol
I'd rather them charge me that price and give me a can of the stuff, if it means I dont have to queue up for 15 minutes
I was going to go to Cheltenham this week gone, but decided not to at the last minute. Put off with these increasing pricesComment

They had to leave the acca given what they were going to win. Lucky escape for BetfairOriginally posted by HoldenTheReins View PostComment

Blow by blow was my first ever antepost bet. 5 day decs 25/1. Nap of the meeting - told everyone I could, noone followed me in. Great memories of that horse - was my first trip to Cheltenham on gold cup day as wellOriginally posted by opatcho View PostComment
