Bet365 tried to change the e/w prices after I'd already placed a bet for the 3.40 at Longchamp so I rang them and queried it. They admitted their mistake and changed it for all customers, and it's now showing the correct quarter odds first 4 places, instead of the fifth odds first 3 places they tried to fob me with. Power to the people

Legatissimo, Golden Horn, American Pharoah looks a strong treble tonight in the Breeders Cup. Comes in at around 5/1

Anybody having a go at William Hill's fantasy horse racing game "The Jumps"?
£2 stake playing for a first prize of £100k.

What's the story with these four Daniel Steele horses?

Backed into favourites from double figure odds.

What's the story with these four Daniel Steele horses?

Backed into favourites from double figure odds.

Which ones?

 

[Nath]

They all finished last or didn't finish at all. Something very suspicious.

Hi Guys
Just thought I would post to my new tips service.
I know there are a million of these already going but this is my dream and I'm trying to follow it. Most of you I'm sure are profitable gamblers as it is but if anyone would like help please read below.
I have been making profits consistently over the last few years however my accounts have now been limited so I have to put my knowledge to use. I don't claim to have inside info I just have tried and tested methods.
My tips aren't going to make you rich overnight however I do believe I can genuinely provide a source of monthly income to you.
I don't have a website as I believe they are impersonal and untrustworthy. I believe my service is a lot more personal and that is where my gap in the market can be. I am happy to skype with anyone to prove I am just a genuine guy trying to do what I love.
I am also happy to do a weekly free trial to prove I can make you money.
If anyone is interested please email prideofthenorthracing at hotmailcom
Thanks

£20 free bet stuck on a Djakadam and Shantou Village double this afternoon. Here's hoping...

These are my racing bets today. Here's hoping!

Bookies cleaning up today by the looks of it

Faugheen out of Cheltenham........

Probably jumps racing equivalent of Ronaldo/Messi missing a world cup.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Faugheen was one of my anti-post bets so that's a pisser. Don't normally back short priced at Cheltenham, but he gave me more confidence in any horse around there since Istabraq.

 

[Nath]

Vroum Vroum Mag, Douvan and Annie Power first day treble.

I was going to back Min, but his odds have put me off now.

 

[spireite]

Min is a bit of a dodgy one for me. Obviously a class horse but I've not seen him beat any competition of note yet. Noone really knows how he'll respond when someone stays with him and makes it a race. Chances are he'll win easy, but this is Cheltenham and I don't like unanswered questions!

 

[markpvfc]

Min and Annie Power are both risky but I'll probably go with them, can't see anything stopping Douvan or Vroom Vroom unless they mess up and fall like Annie Power did last year.
Currently planning an across the meeting 10 fold accumulator, should be worth a fair bit even with mostly favourites in it, but no doubt 1 horse will probably screw it up.

 

[Murphy]

Not touching Annie Power with a barge pole. Didn't last year and I'm taking that as a sign.

 

[spireite]

Happy Cheltenham Eve lads . Remember Skybet are offering a free £25 bet on the first race every day this week. After shit talking Min I think I'm using that bet on him in the Supreme. I like Buveur D'air as well though so I think I'm going to go each way on him as a cover in case Min bottles it.

I'll be there on Thursday, flu or no, I actually can't wait - so excited! Irish day as well so the Guiness will flow

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

I think I'm looking forward to this year's Festival more than I have in recent years. Only Faugheen's absence puts a little dampener on it but there is still some cracking racing to be had.

Is Vautour more Florida Pearl than Kauto Star? Will Douvan show that he is the best horse in the Rich Ricci stable? Can Sprinter Sacre recapture the form before the heart scare and take down last year's impressive Arkle winner Un De Sceaux? Can Annie Power make up for last year's disaster by taking a Championship race? Is Thistlecrack about to embark on a World Hurdle legacy to emulate Inglis Drever and Big Bucks? And there's still 23 more races!

Vautour winning the Gold Cup would do for me, although if I can be greedy and get Thistlecrack home first too, then that will be a very good Cheltenham.

I know naff all about horses, but I've followed a tip from a work colleague who usually bets on horses and certainly knows more than I do!

Gangster, Friday 18th 2.50pm, Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle. Just £5 at 7/1 (was 8/1).

I've got to disagree with your mate there Imp, I think Barters Hill is a shoe in for the Bartlett!

 

[Shrimpurh]

Eager to have a go against AP tomorrow. If I can forgive NC's last run he's a good shout

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Shantou Village for me in the Albert Bartlett. No disgrace losing last time out to Yanworth, up in trip which should suit and the ground drying is another positive. 6/1 looks a very good price.

 

[Shrimpurh]

I'm with Spireite on BH

 

[spireite]

I've placed about hundred quid of my Chelts kitty for tomorrow lol.

1:30 Min 9/4
- Buveur D'Air 6/1 each way

2:10 not betting singles on this one, but have Douvan in one or two multiples

2:50 Holywell 8/1 e/w

3:30 Annie Power 9/4

4:10 Vroom Vroom Mag 11/10

4:50 Noble Endeavour 7/1 small e/w stake
- Pont Alexandre 10/1 small e/w stake

5:30 Aloomomo 13/2 small e/w stake
- Five In A Row 20/1 small e/w stake

I'm on the Min, Douvan, Annie Power, VVM fourfold (28/1 roughly) as the odds look very pretty, but it's rare that everything goes to plan at Chelts, so we'll see. Bring it fucking on let's boil some bookies

 

[MadMongoose]

I don't bet on horses but since seeing this thread i thought i'd give it a go, with a little help from spireite_uk lol

 

[blademan89]

Min and douvan today for ruby, his other 2 will fail.

Haha you nutter!! Be nice if that came in!

 

[Bobbin']

Really been trying to cut down on my horse racing betting since the last grand national.

This week is going to be toughest task yet, going to just try and enjoy the racing for what it is. See how long that lasts! One of of the greatest events on the sporting Calender for me.

Good luck all.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

Rich Ricci can fuck right off. He said on more than one occasion that Vautour goes for the Gold Cup or he doesn't run and then does exactly the opposite.

Urgh, that Mullins four-fold brings back horrid memories from last year. Think it will be a different story this year though, though Min and Annie Power look the most vulnerable to me as I'm a big fan of both Altior and Nichols Canyon.
