8 weeks to go - whats your best and worst anti post

Worst is probably Mon Parrain for the Gold Cup (intending to lay off after the Hennessey!) Also Weapons Amnesty for the Gold Cup, but I knew what I was getting in to there.

Best also in the Gold Cup but it would be aftertiming Pretty happy so far with my positions in the Bartlett, Supreme and a couple of live outsiders for the RSA, but all that can change at the drop of a hat at this stage.

^sorry, Michel Le Bon, not Mon Perrain!

Worst

Waaheb (sup Nov) 3 pts
Sonofvic (RSA) 2pts @ 32's (anyone know why he has come in again after trading @ 110 ?)

Most excited about:
Grandouet (CH) 3pts  @ 24's
Ped Cross (Ark) 2pt's @ 13's

Best - Oscars Well, Champion Hurdle 28/1

Worst - An e/w yankee with Rubi Light already pretty much out of the Gold Cup

Jury's Out - Tetlami at big odds for the Supreme Novices.

Granouet @42 ( lay @ 8 )

1pt ew 33/1 on Wishful Thinking for QMCC
1.5pt ew 7/1 on Sprinter Sacre

Couple of others I have backed are now shorter but only by a point or two. Montbazon still available at 20's.

Also lost 1pt on backing Noble Prince for the QMCC.

Worst would probably be backing QDLR for the Gold Cup but I did that NRNB so aint too fussed yet .. have a feeling he will bounce back in the Hennessy aswell.

You can get 20/1 on First Liuetenant at lads and lay him on here at 18/1, fwiw.

STS - 10 horses for GC? Really?

STS is a moron/lunatic/both hth.

Sorry STS I have a long memory (helps in this game incidentally) and remember some of your inane spoutings from previous festival(s).

Waaheb
Sprinter Sacre
Big Bucks ing

Best and worst all in Gold Cup
Backed Weird Al at 280, laid at 18
Backed Kauto at 60 and again at 15 (also 15 TBP - think I might keep that!)
Worst was On The Fringe at all sorts of prices for far more than I should have (think I was pssed for 11 months )

Worst - Building up a bonfire of bets on Spirit Son in the Champion Hurdle :(

Best - Cash and Go for the Supreme at 85
Worst - Sud Pacifique at 33/1 for the Triumph before he'd even jumped a fence. When will I ever learn

BEST: Fingal Bay 16-1 for Neptune.
WORST: Tornado Bob 33-1 for RSA. 333333-1 would be a more accurate reflection on that things chance.

where did you get 13s peddlers arkle please? (was only 8s at season kick off)

how many bookmakers do you know that regularly offer 13s?

Worst rapidly turning into Spirit Son. Best Sprinter Scare.

Best Sprinter 25/1, and lots of multiples.
Last Installment 80's downover, mainly 50/1.

Worst Waaheb

One in the balance that could go either way is SDC - Jewson

Best would be Sprinter Sacre at 12's & 10's.
Worst would be Son Of Vic RSA

Spirit Son at 20.0 could turn out to be a good bet or a bad one atm..

Howdi,I was on PC @ 7.2 for months.The big prices were mopped up in the 2 days after the SS defeat,by people who realised how hard he hit that fence and hopefully didn't give a proper running.

Couple of OK bets:

Captain Chris (Gold Cup) 1pt ew 33/1 NRNB
Oscars Well 1pt (Champion Hurdle) ew 25/1 NRNB
Hidden Cyclone (RSA Chase) 5pt win at 40,42,44 & 46 (please travel this year shark!)

Some not so good:

Champagne Fever (Bumper) 1pt win at 16/1 - when will I ever learn
Noble Price 0.5pt win (Gold Cup) at 150

36s Unaccompanied Champion Hurdle.

17s Beautiful Sound Byrne Plate - sadly put down on Thursday

36s Unaccompanied Champion Hurdle.

17s Beautiful Sound Byrne Plate - sadly put down on Thursday

Howdi, Peddlers was available at 14 and 16/1 back in April. That's when I got on him, but layed it off at a shorter price after kempton

Sorry STS I have a long memory (helps in this game incidentally) and remember some of your inane spoutings from previous festival(s)

What posts you on about, you mean my ones that turned out to be right? Or the ones where i owned up straight after the event in which case my opinion was slightly wrong

ROOBUCK,
Maybe, but i just love this festival, too easy to make money, so difficult to lose it!

Worst now - Spirit Son

Though still no word that he is defo out, it is now looking most likely!

STS - I'd agree that you have greatly increased your chances finding the GC winner

Mine

Best

Cue Card - Arkle few prices 24 downwards
Darlan - Supreme - 20/1

Worst

Simonsig - Albert Bartlett ( may win at Festival but not that race )

ROOBUCK thing is mate i am not a one horse one bet per race punter, if the prices are right, and there is value in there, i will dutch many, thus not only increasing the chances of finding the winner, but also the placed horses too as all of my bets are always each way! I have bet this way and antepost for the last 5 years, with only last years Royal Ascot turning out to have been a losing 'festival' for me! I started off by studying betting patterns from bookies odds on the old channel 4 teletext, writing them down, then betting some of them on the day but not all, i often would say about a winner, i could have had that at 20/1 in early Jan, damn! Or somewhere along those lines. Then after oddschecker started etc, i started to do the same on there, writing down the major move, watching all the major 'prep' races and then placing bets on the day. Now we have exchanges, i now implement them into my antepost betting and for the first 2 years i never built a sizable antepost portfolio, only had the odd bet but as years have past i have started to build it up more and more as time has gone by as i have learned to use the exchanges as a guide as to where a particular horse will be headed. I.e it maybe 12.5 and 12/1 in bookies for Arkle, but be entered in 3 other races, but would be 20/1 with bookies which is no great help but 110 on here for the other 2 races.

Best Bog Warrior 30's win Jewson, Worst Sous Les Cioux 33.1 ew supreme, or visa versa....Mount Benbullen 16.1 AB is the most solid.
