Went to Corals in Cippenham berks to have a pony saver on Pastoral Player@22-1 just before the England Game..... looked at the screen and then horse was not quoted on it.... asked the shop staff to ring HO for a price and was then told it must be a NR

Turns out it was Pricewise....can they get much lower??

what you on about,its THEIR business so its up to THEM not YOU

there are ways around this.we all know price wise picks go to the printers around 9.00pm 10pm so hes picked them before that

and he may of been accomadated at THEIR  price to him as he is marking THEIR card

the way round it is this if you want a bet then think about pricewise may of picked yours by chance so back yours as soon as you can

other option is to give up because you aint going to beat i repeat never going to beat the UK books unless you know how

or you could of put up your 23.0 on the exchange to back if not matched get the next best etc

if you are a pricewise layer then lay at 12.0 thats after you've got the coral 22-1

thats probably why you didnt get on

It was over 25 on here last night for £28.
Then £840 between 22 and 24, then £5k appeared at 21.
It's 20 on here now, and there was £4k on it at 20 last night.

I was making the point that it wasnt even quoted on their screens, and, despite the shop ringing HQ, wasnt even told that there's no price at moment but will be later.

Who? The management? The shop staff?
Report zilzal1 • June 20, 2014 11:52 AM BST
I could have "just a mistake" if it was just the shop..... so if you backed another horse in a race where the winner didnt appear in the list of runners you would be ok about it?

Dont believe that it was a coincidence that it was a pricewise horse not on the screen or Epos but on their internet prices, the shop staff rang HQ as well.... underhand practices imo

they dont have to offer you a price.they dont have to take your bet.
Report zilzal1 • June 20, 2014 12:25 PM BST
Then they could just put "No Offers in a box next to it rather than inferring that its a N/R..

It can't have been deliberate. 'Price-wise' selection, or not...Pastoral Player never had the slightest chance of winning from that draw.
I can't understand how 'Price-Wise' would even consider that it might win. You only need to check the week's results on the straight course.
Same applies to the Wokingham tomorrow. Wi8nneer will be drawn 15 to 30. Probably 22 to 30.

wi8nneer should read 'winner'!  Laugh
