    #BettingPeople Matt Chapman

    He’s hit the nail on the head regarding bookies and punters in my opinion. Get rid of the gimmicks, cash back, ante post nrnb, money back if your 2nd etc etc then create a proper book where a punter a can bet against that opinion. Simples!!

    Do you ever have......

    I always remind myself of the time me and the other half treated ourselves to the restaurant at Aintree at an Old Roan meeting. I spent hours on the card and picked 1 winner… happy I was! My missus spent 5 minutes before each race had 6 bets and 6 winners. There was lots of after timing and...

    Affordability checks

    I’ve never understood throughout this never ending saga why sports gambling and casino gambling haven’t been clearly defined as 2 separate entities. Why haven’t any of the media challenged this? I remember way back when ‘slots’ were first a thing I’d won about 80 quid on the horses and I...

    The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

    Good The Gold Cup, I was at Wetherby to see Bravemansgame win the Charlie Hall, backed him in the KG and was heavily invested for the big one. He was beaten by a great horse with a great jockey on board, but he lived up to his name and proved the doubters wrong. It was a thrilling Gold Cup...

    The 2023 Longshot Thread

    Deyrann De Carjac 25/1 for Alan King in 155 C. Bottom weight (1lb out of h'cap) but 5ib claimer on board. Always seems to run his race at Cheltenham (ok run lto staying on). Worth a punt I thought.

    The cash out option

    I’m of the the belief that I was happy when I struck the bet so I’ll let it run. I can honestly say I’ve never cashed out. However, I reckon if the first five had won and the last one had drifted like a barge then I might reconsider!! I read a while ago that even though the odds are...

    Yep definitely keeping an eye on them. I thought Eldorado Allen had a bit about him to win yesterday. As Luke said in an earlier post looking out for them in the big races might be the way forward. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    He obviously had a poor season last year operating at just 9% (433 runners with 37 wins). I’m wondering whether he’s worth following this year hoping that all is right with the stable and now that his son is taking on more of a role. Surely he must have some well handicapped horses after last...
