Hills are still the only well know famous bookmaker not to go non runner no bet. Whats up with that.

Nrnb as well, help yourself.

didn't see that Tatie Baron. Thanks. When I saw for example the Ryanair or the Neptune they still say "ante post rules apply."

There's an element of the bookies second guessing the SP's with some of these offers.
Hills 'generously' went 7's from 4's on Jezki for the Supreme. Last year the fav in the Supreme went off 6/1. There were 4 other runners less than 10/1 This year we've a 7/4 fav, an 11/2 2nd fav and 3 others trading at less than 10/1 Exactly how much generosity are we seeing with some of these offers? |
|
By:
There will be a smaller field this year
|
|
By:
Even in a smaller field the disparity when we've currently got a 7/4 fav is fairly significant. I'd expect to be seeing 7's for Jezki on the day if MTOY holds his current price.
Its noted (RN1986) that Hills have yet to fully NRNB on their races....so offering a horse in a true a/p market at a price you expect to see on the day is smart marketing. |

By:
I'd also go as far as to say that Hills are being clever in not going NRNB, as they've clearly picked up that the marketing value now lies in holding off for as long as possible. The impact is through the advertising medium that is Oddschecker.....they stand out time and again on price. The rest (Lads, Corals etc) blend in with one another into thebackground in comparison.
Sporting Bet are also using Oddschecker well to gain cheap advertising. I note they're constantly pushing out favorites for a short time so that they show up as best price across the market. A good move for a small operation.....they're effectively acting like and angler fish by catching your attention and luring you in. |

MR and CF 5 placed EW NRNB has to be good value with soft going surely?
|
|
By:
Also, will they be 5 places on the day?
|
|
By:
Totally agree Tory and have acted accordingly.
 Feeling slightly sore about having backed them both already 3 days ago with just 1-2-3  |
|
By:
Surely wont be 5 places on the day, especially if the race cuts up
|
|
By:
doubt it,looks like being only 10-12 runners
|
|
By:
I think we're all in agreement. Champagne Fever & Melodic Rendezvous e/w 5 places NRNB is rare value from the enemy. I've backed both (already on CF @ 20/1 too).
To my mind, the other 5 at the top of the market all have question marks: MTOY: ground, course, potentially flattered by slowly-run poor renewal of Betfair Hurdle Jezki: course, lay-off Un Atout: not raced against anything of any calibre Dodging Bullets: ground, lay-off River Maigue: beaten by a 4yo lto (albeit a very good one) |

You need to contact them lads. They tweeted today saying offer was from midnight last night Kate Millar has retweeted it. I have asked them to confirm bets placed before midnight when website specifically said 1/4 odds 12345 will stand.
