relax there moneyforoldrope - your bitterness is seeming through my keyboard... get a life

*seeping

I do not think moneyforoldrope has any idea of what bookmaking actually is imo the only wally on here is YOU!

I too have backed every runner bar the 100/1er e.w in the Arkle and have 3 places also! I have a 65% book of back bets and so cannot lose barring the rag does not win! I can afford to include him too as only adds 1% to the book but i wont as i do not expect it to be anywhere near them down the back.

Heres another for you fool, i have 12 backed in the supreme, the WORST price i have is 12/1, but these include 2 non runners. This gives me a book of close to 99% but as they are all e/way i have that added bonus of the places also reducing the book to a massive underround thus ensuring nice profit as long as a rag doesn't win.

See a bookmaker wants a rag winning, but a bettor does not, it is basically bookmaking reversed if you get my meaning. Nothing at all wrong with it and i make a killing from it every single year in the grade 1s and championship races!

Gl for the week with your single bets and 2 places in the arkle, i hope you don't do too much doe in!

seething through my keyboard judorick? eh NAH

the WORST price i have is 12/1, but these include 2 non runners. This gives me a book of close to 99%

Actually it doesn't as i said the worst is 12/1 but i also have 14/1, 16/1, 20/1 and 2 at 33/1 so book without working it out but a re-guess is probably closer to 75-80%

each to their own,we all have our different ways of making a profit.
personally like to have a few on my side in each race when possible,getting on early prices can enable me to do that.

hope it works for you this week mate

good luck

good luck may the cheltenham gods smile favourably on you all

Brilliant thread, kept everyone warm over winter, with great debate.

Go collect OP

OI OI OI

What a performance. No win/loss in the race for me but cant help but be impressed with that. Al ferof not made finians et al look too great IMO. Although the mistake clearly cost it a lot.

CC ran a cracker and jumped well.

I did try to tell you Harry

Despite everything going perfectly for him (nice ground, settled better and jumped impeccably) he didn't find all that much from the home bend so he's not a formality for next year's QM.

On a flat track he's unbeatable though.

Best jumper of a fence since Best Mate.

Best Mate was brilliant but more economical to my eyes Eric - SS will never win a Gold Cup thats for sure.

Was on Al Ferof, don't mind losing to a horse of that quality though. Wd winners, especially those who were on ages back

Just like to say Congrats to all SS fans and backers.

I was absolutely gutted when AF landed on that fence,but it happens spmetimes in racing and hopefully he will be back ok.

Out of interest, what prices did everyone get on SS way back when this was started?
Couldn't find the prices easily...

When you have the best jumper who is also the quickest horse in the race coupled with one of the 2 best steeeplechase jockeys riding, the outcome for me was inevitable.

Interestingly, I had a good look at him in the pre parade ring and he is still not fully furnished. Will be astonished if we see him again this season and he will be even better next year.

wd sprinter backers and all at big prices and wd alverado.

yes bwell don sprinter backrs i was against the horse and said so on a few threads, happy to be proved wrong as it was a cracking performance and he may be the next superstar!
