      …..can’t remember exactly when Hills started their ‘any race’ market last year but it was quite a while after the Festival finished. I’d guess Sky will be first.

          I think it was either August or September for hills. It was definitely late because I emailed asking a few times and was told they weren’t offering that market this time.

                  …hopefully there’ll be some Punchestown TWAF a/r offers, although Hills tend to have specific races.

                    Every year i wonder how long it will be til the 'any race' markets are no more. I remember a few years ago paddy used to get involved but they knocked it on the head.

                        They’re priced very defensively anyway now to the point they offer very little value in my view.

                          I wouldn't argue with that, definitely not many standouts nowadays but there may be the odd one that slips through !

                          • The anti-post markets are all but dead just look at past bumper winners and placed odds compared to now and soon the cash-out will be a thing of the past, the average punter has no interest in AP horse betting its just us few diehards.
                            Horse racing is just a side show for bookmakers and they only still tolerate the NRNB when the market has little juice remaining, for some the handicaps still have a bit of value but I gave them up long ago because of poor returns to me personally.
                            I remember 365 BOG, along with best price throughout the day, so if I took 4s in the morning and it drifted to 8s but returned 5s they paid 8s, this .lasted a few weeks.
                            ​ Now no longer able to bet due to A/Cs

                            • Can’t remember where I seen someone mention the Irish National for Nick Rockett, but looks as though WPM has all but confirmed the race for him.

                              I like the look of Intense Raffles 10/1 with hills. Set to carry 10st7lbs and bolted up twice around Fairyhouse since switching from France. Form of his first win given a boost next time by Where It All Began who has subsequently finished 4th in the Kim Muir.

                              • I'm interested to know how you guys record losses for specials that carry over to the following season.

                                For instance a horse to win a race at the 2024 festival and the 2025 festival, but they lose at the 2024 festival so the bet is dead for 2025, would you record this against losses in 2024 or 2025? Or maybe split the lost stakes for each year?

                                It's something I've been meaning to ask for a while, and whilst not hugely important, I'm intrigued as to how each person goes about this.
