You think so Lobos ?
Strange comment...

The Cotswold was ok and watching Paisley maybe but that was it . The rest of was just pointless.

ITV will now show somewhere else, If the Cheltenham card was dreadful what do we make of class 6 pig races at Lingfield ?

Don't even go there ! I'd rather get the vacuum out than watch that !

[Lobos]

Your weekends during lockdown must be much more interesting than mine. With fuck all to do cheltenham being cancelled regardless of card quality sucks!!

Navan today. Bristol v Bath Prem Rugby tonight. Derby v Bristol City tomorrow. Live Prem game on BBC. Long walk across fields with Mrs on Sunday. Lamb Sunday Roast. Finish watching It's a Sin series. What's not to like ??

fwiw I think most bookies arrive at a punter profile very fast (single digit bet count) and then recalibrate relatively infrequently due to the sheer size of the customer base. Algorithms are weighted towards early life predictors too afaik. This explains why batches of people may get snipped in one go (its account review time) and why people can last longer at 365.

imo gaming your first few bets is very worthwhile

Well I think I'm walking proof that it is indeed "account review time". Woke up this morning to "the email" from Skybet. That's 2 accounts in 48hrs...!

Just checked, there's indoor athletics from Karlsruhe, Germany on tomorrow, I'd have probably preferred to watch that anyway than assess potential Gold Cup, Stayers, Triumph, Ballymore as well as several festival handicap horses...

Something I've noticed today is the differing of cash out terms offered by PP & BFSB, even though they are the same company.

Every NRNB I've had with BFSB is at least full money back for cash out.
Which it should be really. It's NRNB FFS

whereas PP are less than stake most of the time, unless price has moved.

Most of my PP ones are for 100% ... weird.

Thought it might have been a recency thing as only just started using BFSB (raining boosts on me for some reason) but even some of the latest ones like Colreevy are about 70%.
Only Royale Pagaille & BDD are 100%.
And the ones that have contracted in price.

This afternoon's meeting at Fairyhouse has been cancelled after heavy rain left parts of the track unraceable

If it's not covid causing chaos it's the bloody weather. Hopefully they can reschedule a lot of the big races. Already getting a bit worried about the DRF next week.

365 have removed BOG if you use their extra place function

I was just about to post to see if this was just to myself or everyone, cheers for posting.

This time next week, the Dublin Racing Festival will be over.

Big 7 days ahead for ante-post punters. Angles to be found, bets to be made, bubbles to be burst and proper quality racing to enjoy in it's own right!

Probably the third best racing even of the year for myself Kev. This time of year is just fantastic isn’t it, everything really coming up to boiling point prior to the festival. Next couple of weeks out the way and we should have had 95% of the clues to come up with our answers for the festival.

More swings and roundabouts next weekend than at any time of the year (in relation to festival position), that does mean there’s no need to get heavily involved next week, the same stresses exist in wanting good performances from your army...
