They've probably just calculated how much their having to give back to FJ members and haven't got the cash-flow just yet!

its thursday and looking forward to the road to cheltenham with hislop and hogwalsh. Can I dare to hope for at least one sensible comment from from hogwalsh? He does more damage to my antepost portfolio than Mad Vlad

Yes. I don't think you get them back either (the antepost ones anyway).Originally posted by doctorwu View PostComment

A question for those who have been at this antepost thing for longer than me. How are you finding it this year compared to previous years?
This is only my 4th year doing it but it feels like the hardest so far, with trouble narrowing down targets, poor early prices from the bookies, injuries (mainly the Arkle for me) etc.
I know most thought last year was a freakishly good one for most people, and not the norm, but would you say this year is tougher than normal or just about average? Just curious to hear people's thoughts.Comment

To be fair there haven't been many casualties until this week, Monkfish and Ferny Hollow hurt a few but that was months ago, doesn't seem to have been many high profile absentees until this week, which has been brutal.Originally posted by isitmarchyet View Post

Yep, 1 or 2 more big guns will drop out Ista. Just need to have that cover already in place to get the Silver LiningComment

Yeah, it's mostly just been the Arkle that's been a bit of a stinker for me until this week. Just in general the whole thing seems a lot trickier to get a handle on.Originally posted by Istabraq View PostComment

I had to laugh/cry - looking through my early season ante post bets I’ve just found this…..
Supreme - Jonbon 12/1
Arkle - FH 8/1
Ballymore - JWM 16/1
RSA - BMG 8/1
Mares Nov - ADV 16/1
E/W Canadian….so Jonbon or BMG will win just to take the p**s & the other won’t place - been doing ante post since 2004 & that is one of my best nut kickers I can remember
Gonna stop buying Howard’s book!!!! Always look great in Oct don’t they!Comment

This season is pretty usual IIMY. Some years have been tough going by comparison to this. Last year was freakishly good to us all.Originally posted by isitmarchyet View Post
We'll get a few more curveballs before the 15th March.
The key is an even mind and not reacting emotionally when the reversals happen. That's when you make mistakes. My advice and approach is to always take a step back, think it through, and then look at how you can create the best position from the current situation. What's already gone is too late. It's pointless dwelling. Always look at what positive steps you're going to take.

The most noticeable difference this year to all previous is the speed Cash Out is being removed and then left greyed out afterwards by the leading Bookmakers who offer it such as B365 & Betfair. They clearly have recruited or dedicated staff to monitor social media and have contacts with contacts of the major stables passing information onto them before it is widespread.
It does take the fun it of antepost betting and I’ve threatened to do it before but have yet but I’m seriously considering just saving up for NRNB next year to save all this hassle and just backing who I fancy and not bothering covering so many horses as I have over the past few years.Comment

I’d echo spectres comments
in fact
in general a gambler needs to remain calm and level headed
if you are the type to get too high or low then there are obvious dangers.
my mrs can’t tell if I’ve won a grand or lost it.
which is a good job in both respectsComment
