Quite a significant drift for a supposedly 'bomb proof' horse.
Something up at the Mullins yard? Would explain the big weakness in Scotsirish's price too? |
|
By:
more to do with Hills going 5/4 for a time tomorrow morning I imagine?
|
|
By:
If they are then they are bonkers.

Graham Sharpe and Kate Miller been tweeting it in last hour

FFS I'm going to disconnect my broadband and go and hide in a darkened room for the next 8 days - can't take much more of this !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one cheers Ron

By:
available from 830 Martin...but dont know if that will be on the net or not
|
|
By:
Well you'll get the arbers on here filling their boots so I'm going to stick a pile up at 2.12 as Hills will probs only lay a nifty at 5-4 so may as well get piling in before it goes back to 1.9 !
|

By:
Any reason for the drift with hills?
 |
|
By:
Presumably a publicity stunt - I give them 15 mins at that price max.
|
|
By:
You can get a lot of money on in 15 minutes if you live in an area with plenty of Hills shops ! I reckon they will hold it til midday up to £100 per customer. But we will see.
|
|
By:
Hmmm. just popped out to pick up the takeaway and now the price is back to 1.9.
Thanks for the info. I've got half a chunk on the antepost and was gonna put the other half on on the day, but if the Hills offer is 5/4 NRNB then I'll prob try load up now with them. Anything above evens is value to me! |
|
By:
Yeah seems to explain the drift. It looked like there was money being done at 1.85 earlier on account of the ground conditions. These ante post markets are volatile especially with the forum rumour mill to oil the wheels. Am going to be trying to get on Hurricane fly tomorrow asap
|
|
By:
You'll prob get near evens on the day, I still would prefer the insurance **** give with their money back if horse comes 2nd as it's next to impossible to see fly coming 3rd.
|

By:
Where is this well communicated Hurricane Fly offer with WH? I can't find it on the website. Thought it was going to be through all channels.
|
|
By:
From 8.30am
|
|
By:
@playthegameboy,
Thanks very much. I am knee's deep in HF already but any excuse to add to that  |
|
By:
£25 bet max, brilliant
|
|
By:
I got £80 on in the shop at 8.30
|
|
By:
Done some doubles as already on 9/4 Nr No Bet The Hurricane , with Darlan, Sizing Europe and Ocar Whisky. Expect at least one double to gain some reward.
|
|
By:
let me have a £100. laid it back, free £30 , thanks William
|
|
By:
are there any doubles worth doing fly vs w/o fly market? looking at fly/zarkandar 6.87/1 1st/2nd
|
|
By:
Got on as well seems like a fair offer nrnb as well
Managed to get 80 quid on no bother. Probably could get more on but have enough bets on already |
|
By:
See Tetlami thread 40s with Sid James for while, think they messed up big time imo wont be good enough but had to throw score at it at price.
|
|
By:
thanks for the heads up on the offer! got £100 online and £400 in shops, so Im done till collection time!
|
|
By:
Offer been pulled now. Assume they have filled their boots with as much HF laying as they could handle. Managed to get £100 through my online account, went into a shop at 1.30pm and it had been taken down. Should harden up now until the next firm takes it on.

paddy power went 5-4 in shops today for half hour max bet 500 per customer!
|
|
By:
Amazing offer. You can guarantee a nice return from that bet. Money for nothing!
|
|
By:
I have a decent amount on H Fly but I must admit I am becoming slightly concerned about Binocular - might have an ew saver on it - any thoughts?
|
|
By:
not as amazing as 2-1 about sprinter sacre which they also offered!
|
|
By:
SN02, we've done binocular to death already, this thread might be your best bet http://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/28953523/binocularcan-he

By:
anything not quite right here ! seems a lot of firms want to get the fly and taking shedloads on him it seems ,bookies not usually known for giving away free money ,do they know something we dont, or is it just the bookmakers wanting to give some back to punters !
|
|
By:
totally agree foyleswar but coulding resist going in at 5-4! but with nrnb think its a no brainer because theres no way in hell willie will not let him take his chance if he's not 100% right!
|
|
By:
Bookies have always taken on good things at Cheltenham, it's up to the punter to figure out which one to back and which to avoid. Hopefully this is one they have got wrong.
|
|
By:
perhaps the arbers out to play after taking WH 5/4
|
|
By:
Deary me. 5/4, is an awful price about one of the biggest hype horses I've seen in my years following the horses. Has beaten nothing but handicappers (with the exception of Peddlers who was found to be off) and has only won on flat tracks. Has a large number of significant trends to overcome and has found nothing off the bridle whenever he's been asked - and he certainly will be asked a week tomorrow.
No wonder the bookies are taking turns to take him on. Who will be next?! |
|
By:
who will get him off the bit? he finds nothing off it? have you been drinking or lost your mind?
