Laying Binocular at 1000 in the CH in March !

Haha thieves never prosper Martin!!!!

true enuf it is pipey. true enuf it is.  I  said that to an uncle of mine a few months ago about the health that is and he said yeah well its not worth a fcuk if u havent got a few bob to go with it

How greedy do you have to be to risk 19k for just £19 profit? Ive no sympathy for these people.

Point being we all remember kicking king. Unless the horse has an injury that would rule him 100% out of racing then there is risk there. Where there is risk there is reward, however small it may be. Only by winning or losing money can the decision be right or wrong. If you've 19k to tie up to win £19 I don't think money is going to be a problem in life.

If youve got £19k spare why would you be bothered about robbing £19? I know it all adds up but seriously!!!

Faasel in the Triumph Hurdle, last leg of two doubles and a tasty treble.

I take the abuse on the chin and find the whole episode funny now, but I won't be laying at 1000 again unless a horse is deffo not running. Over the years I have laid hundreds of horses antepost at 1000 and probably picked up half of what I lost on Binocular. It isn't "robbing" really is it ? Anyone backing a horse at 1000 is in no doubt that there is something amiss surely ! If they have laid a ton at 10 and would now like to free up their grand by backing it for a pound at 1000 AND I already have a big liability on another horse and am happy to have a few quid dripping through every day on 1000 horses then everyone is happy.

I don't want sympathy but think "robbing" is a bit harsh ! Not horses I know but I laid a chunk on Ulrika when she won Celebrity Big Brother and that hurt plenty :( It was enough to make me vow not to touch reality TV betting again, and that's the point - we all get stung on something every now and then but as long as you treat it as a very expensive lesson then it may well be money well spent.

Nice to be back after the traditional flat sabbatical, looking forward to all the drama of the coming season in what is a golden age for jump racing. Long Run could well be dominating the topics again this season !

istabraq.cant complain tho ,he,d seen me alright previously.

Had £2.77 on at 153.47, was by far my biggest win this years festival, i backed it after i seen it at 1000 and thought something dodgy was going on and indeed i was correct [:D]


My biggest loss was Kauto Star this years gold cup also, though with the amount i had on at all rates down from 5/2 for the KG i was merely losing profit money! Had Imperial Commander at 14s and Denman at 7s for compo money mind you but it still hurt to see him going oh so well before hitting that fence and then he just wasn't the same, i am sure any other horse and Ruby would have pulled him up, i am sure he was 50/50 in his mind whether to or not after the initial blunder.

Straw Bear in the Supreme. I hate watching that race. Noland came out of the clouds and stopped what would have been a fantastic start to my festival that year. Would have paid for that and the next years !!!! Arrghhhhhh! 

whoosh, I remember that all too well

^^^ nothing worse than counting money in your head!!!!

antepost i persume

Al, that's the sort of lay that really smarts ! One where you lay at big odds, lose your dough and everyone else is describing it as a fairytale result :)

That fecking jp macmanus thing with ap up cost me a right few quid having backed maljimar! i never cryed,but there maybe a delayed reaction still to come

dunguib also. luck would have it i backed it for 6 months prior to the festival, so didnt feel like i lost 'real money', by day 3 of the festival it was real enough.

i know this sound cocky but nearly every horse im very very confident on at chelters wins . i backed tat for the arkle ante post big las yer
