Can one of you worthies please advise when the bookmakers start to go NRNB on all races and which ones tend to do it first? I seem to recall it was about 2 weeks before the Festival last year but am and old feck and could easily be wrong!

Yes 365 are the first normally on the last Saturday in February. Others follow suit the following weekend.

Thanks folks. I like to do a few combination bets and even at shorter prices, like the comfort afforded by a change of mind by connections regarding target or simply missing the gig.

they also used to about 3 weeks before and every day then on push a fancied runner out in price, it was very popular, but last year that stopped that also. only want the fobt income. |

For at least the second year in a row last year, Lads did a daily special that they held for 15 minutes only. It was generally between 1 and 2 pm, but some fell outside that time. I mention this for those who like getting a bit of a price about runners with a chance. To be fair to Lads they had some very good offers in there, choosing to boost the price on fancied runners by a good bit (I think Vautour was available at 6-1 for the JLT from half that one day)...

365 will be the first. They usually go NRNB and BOG to coincide with Kempton's Adonis Hurdle meeting which this year is on Sat 27th Feb.

Cash they usually do, I actually emailed them about 2 weeks ago to enquire, they were very coy about it and told me at the 5 day decs but I'm sure you are right.

Sportingbet just went NRNB on the Mares Hurdle.

Pointless going NRNB for the mares race. The prices are shorter than they will be on day.
|

By:
Agree about VVM but if AP turns up in the Mares Hurdle she'll be close to 1/3. imo.

Are any bookies going NRNB on multiples i.e doubles bcoming singles etc..
Boyles are singles only but I see that PP and Ladbrokes dont specify.. |
|
By:
Unless they stated nrnb applied to singles only you should be fine. Bf sportsbook shows my Faugheen multiples as that leg void and my AF w/out Faugheen multiples should be fine too.
