What £50 bet is that brodie? Only see the £100 opening offer (already done these, I'm a bonus ** ;) )
I'm allowed a max of £3403.50 on the 2nd fav at paddy. Depends how much you've been arbing them imo
That bumper win is what really has cemented his rep, but I was reading on the chelts forum that, that bumper was run in the 2nd slowest time of the last 9 years, which puts it into a bit of perspective imo.
He's had 3 runs in small fields in Ireland and not been off the bridle but his last race produced sketchy jumping.
All horses running at chelts are good and trying, so just a little doubt has crept in my mind so gave up on laying/backing him altogether !

I'm doing Blackstairmountain. Fair flat horse ,jumped well on its only hurdle race and WP Mullins is a cracking trainer. Is about 10-1 at paddy's but was 14-1 on here so was dithering what to do.
dunguib the best horse in the race , but anyone taking evens or less on any horse, should have a look at things like trainer form - fenton 9 winners this season with none in last fortnight: jockey - o connell 7 wins over hurdles this season and never subjected to pressure loike he is gonna experience tomorrow. this race is one to swerve.
could be an omen finster, cousins name is fin (short for finbarr) :0
1715: Ladbrokes have gone up with an even-money quote about Dunguib for tomorrow's Supreme Novices' Hurdle - the opening race of the Cheltenham Festival.
Dunguib has been odds-on for some time, but Ladbrokes are looking to drum up business with their evens quote.
Spokesman David Williams said: "Dunguib has been odds-on for some time now so the even money about Ireland's wonder horse is bound to be popular. If he wins, the plunge on the Irish horses later in the day will become collossal."
Ladbrokes also offer 7/1 that Dunguib wins tomorrow before going on to claim next season's Champion Hurdle.

My guess is he hedged his bets & put half his original stake on it, the more hype the more chance a horse will get knocked over imo.

2smiggy don't do it m8,never ran over hurdles @ Cheltenham where they go a mad pace,helter skelter from the flag fall.
The horse is good no doubt about it but has never been over hurdles in a big field at a fast pace,to many negatives to be having a "huge bet".
If your going for it everything has to be in your favour and imo everything is not in the horse's favour,gl in whatever you decide.
^ I tried to help.

i fear my cousin going the same way DO WAH. met him in the bookies half hour before race and he put 400 euros on dog trap no. 3 just for interest. it won but i would never put such money on a dog.
Ive been in this game over 30 years and seen a lot of lads go under through gambling,win a few quid and think they are invincible.
perhaps a bit down alex lol, but under the 500 mark down. a success on betfair !!
do you have a rich family? Where is he getting 8k etc for stuff like this?
my biggest battle DO WAH is the booze. no problem with gambling. but i would class myself as a alcoholic
we would be fairly wealthy, but he left school at 15 (and worked since)and i would think he won 70k in the last year. horses and soccer/football
2smiggy - a very refreshing take on life my friend!
Do wah - as entertaining as ever!
:D

2S MIGGSY ,OH NO ,I DIDNT KNOW I WAS AN ALCOHOLICK UNTILL IT WAS TO LATE,IVE BEEN SOBER FOR NEARLY 7 YEARS AND ATTEND AA ,AND IVE LOST EVERYTHING GAMBLING AND DRINKING ,WHATEVER YOU DO DONT END UP LIKE ME,YOU SOUND JUST LIKE ME YOU ASK EVERYONES OPINION AND THEN TAKE NO NOTICE OF ANYONE AND JUST DO WHAT YOU,YOU YOU YOU WANT
DONT GET MARRIED AND HAVE A FAMILY YOULL BREAK THEIR HEARTS
too late 4 me i think. i intended moving to australia but fear i will end up living in a ditch. i work for my uncle who is very tolerant of me as my father (his brother) was a raging alco for many years. he has since nearly quit comnpletly. perhaps only 1 3 day bender a year and no other booze. hopefully i can quit too

the bet you made only lost you an amount of money, it's retrievable. take stock & decide if you have more than one battle. whatever it is (and only you can be honest with yourself) decide where you go from here. I'm compulsive, it's one day at a time for me.
good luck

did not go out till sunday, had perhaps 15 pints. could not stay off it yeaterday. went to work for half day then drank about 15 cans of cider. thank god tomorrow is a day off
gambling,drink are both addictions which can destroy if not treated with respect,I've suffered from one.
do wah The Second Greatest Gambler in the History of the Universe IMO
(after me)

Gambling is my nemisis,my wife has been brilliant and now controls the finances.

Your cousin is a mug who just hit some extreme luck.
He'll end up donating that back to bookies plus more.

my dad also gets pocket money lol. i could do with getting a girlfriend to give me pocket money FFS
mcchicken i think that about the cousin too. but he won 24k when he was 15 so he will never stop now. he is also fairly intelligent and his parents know all about the extent of his gambling. it is not his worst vice by any means
THEY SHOULD TEACH YOU ABOUT THE PERILLS OF GAMBLING AND DRINGING AT SCHOOL INSTEAD OF GEOGRAPHY NOW THERES SAT NAVS,
Sorry about the loss Smig, gl for the rest of the week and with your other battles, Sir.
I could seduce your wife, hearts, and make her spend wildly.
Come to think of it, I could seduce you and anything you ever vaguely thought about. Not much of a challenge though.
Hey.

no idea how your cousin makes a profit with crap bets like that. and i dont mean cos it lost either. there are only two reasons to hammer an odds-on horse. 1) you absolutely 100% know its about 20 times better than anybody else thinks it is. and 2) you dont know how to pick winning bets so back the odds-on horses out of desperation.

re: cousin.
It will all end in tears. Has no structure or discipline. Therefore eventually will lose. FACT

Correct ^ We all think we are invincible when the going is good but something will come along that will break you up, it's a case of when not if when you punt like that.
Let's draw the curtain on this unfortunate thread. We've all been there or will be there. That's that.

hate to say this its not jus the money this cousin is after now but the gamblers adrenline rush.
Bumper race Wednesday 5.15
On His Own is a ridiculous price, could be a really good horse in the making, a fast pace will surely give this 20 furlong winner an ew chance in an open event.
Taken the 70 on here & 50/1 in the shops
You could do a lot worse

My own sorry tale, got 2K up to 23K in two months and lost 11K in one day. It hit me hard, pure greed and stupidity. A hard lesson learned on here for sure.
So you were still 10k in profit over 2 months, Slippyblue.
I'm sorry but how on earth is that a sorry tale?
Aside from that..
Some have been pouring out some very dark experiences on here.
It does indeed sound like the cousin is chasing another ardrenaline buzz that
felt as good as his big win, rather than just the money.
Some of the posts on this thread are so well worded it's worth printing out
(Doing that now)

Panglima seems like a good judge - he also tipped Thousand Stars in the County Hurdle that year
A couple of those on the AW in the next two weeks would be nice
