2025 Novice Chasers

[Runragged]

I wouldn’t say it was disappointing jumping.
He did get too close to some but he’s clever enough, and I don’t mind that with novice’s learning.
He also jumped some very well.

It was disappointing considering I was impressed on debut and was excited to see him again. He was slow and careful at many of his fences. Probably his best jump actually came at the last as he went to win the race.

Understand.
He jumped the first few well and then he got close to one and repeated that a couple more times, and yes a bit slow and careful.
I think they would have learned a lot about him today, probably more than his first run.

I do some systems type betting, which has proved pretty reasonable over the last couple of years but my god it's a different way of betting isn't it?

I went from 2250pts on 28th June to 470pts on 24th August (lost 75% of my bank in 2 months!), then by 30th November I was back up to 4960pts. Lost a bit since (now at 4000pts), but it's a proper rollercoaster of emotions - particularly as you end up backing a fair few horses you just don't fancy don't you?

Would be really keen to chat about the model at some point - hopefully next week, but heading down with my family so not sure how much time I'll have given my brothers son is 3 and needs a lot of entertaining

Over what time period are those results from Odin? I could retire on a return of almost 5000pts.

Over what time period are those results from Odin? I could retire on a return of almost 5000pts.

Bank started at 300pts on 5th April 2023, 5pts per bet.
Stake was revised on 17th March 2024 to 20pts per bet mainly, with a few 5pts per bet systems.
As of today (approx 21 months after starting), bank is 4357pts from 1865 bets, with an ROI of 18.16%

But these are definitely not retirement profits for me!

5 goes into 300

We over complicate this a bit

Just because it's easy for me to work out tbh and because the stake quadrupled half way through - I'm sure you had a similar discussion about what to do with your stakes on here when it changed not so long ago

Good to have you back and causing chaos btw - hope you'll be sticking around for longer this time than your brief pre-Xmas(?) check in?

Haha, yeah exactly the same

....and yeah, throwing my substantial weight around from now until March is odds-on

Whilst I wouldn't say it was franked entirely, it's always nice when horses show up well next time out and thereafter, so Kinturk Kalanisi is providing Better Days Ahead with some nice form boosts having finished 2nd the last twice, beaten a neck behind Judicieus Allen, and just 2 3/4 lengths behind Three Card Brag (rated 147) over the weekend.

Better Days Ahead hammered him by 13 lengths.

ObviousLy it's not an exact science but as I've already said, it provides a little bit of solidity to the form, IMO.

There should really be a "So What" emoji for some of your market updates.

Surprised it's taken them this long. He's been bigger on the exchanges for a fair while now.

Think he may miss the DRF and I wonder if that's caused it.

Expecting an entry in the Scilly Isles now. Think the owners like that race having won it 4 years in a row from 2015 onwards.

[darlojim]

But why push him ?

Because theyre bored

Majority of those bookies that have 'pushed' him out are all linked and just follow each others prices, so in fact its likely just 1 bookie has edged him a point or 2

A move in the other direction for Jukebox with the same tinpot bookies

Ill have you know some of us old fashioned high street shoppers just love the likes of Betfred, Corals and Ladbrokes
