idiot for taking on the ruby walsh hotpots! doh

today's pl +22.5
total +196.65

Don't be too hard on yourself profit is profit at the end of the day. You have been doing well with this.

only mildly annoyed tbh. reasonably happy to lay a horse at odds on that's never jumped a fence in a race before, and the minack only had weird irish p2p form to go by. but i do usually steer clear of ruby hotpots.

bumping steaks to 55 :D but if the bank falls below 1100 during the day then back to 50. going to dodge the ruby favs today, watch them lose lol

bit of a driffy on next move. chucking another 25 in @ 3 :)

chasing doesn't pay off...................why u stake so randomly?

also u left out Ruby's today and they went down................you cannot mix and match, you either lay them all the time or never at all

and yes, both ruby favs lost, at 8/13 and 11/10! doh

staking?

lol i knew it - dead silence when in profit, a losing day and the 1st knocker appears! :^0

i'm not steaking randomly. it's max 5% of bank or a half steak if it's not quite a full on bet but still worth a pop.

and why did you think i was chasing? because of that extra 25 on the last? erm no, i was following the driffy, wrongly as it turned out.

im not knocking only just came across thread.........u are in profit so how can we knock?

you say £25 if it is not a full-on bet...............what does this mean? if you don't fancy it as strongly as the others, why not leave it out? only questions not criticisms

i've got various criteria to arrive at the picks. if a horse meets most of them it's a full bet. if it meets some but not all then it's a half steak bet. why not leave it out? fair point, but the idea is to have some fun bets on an otherwise dull boring winter's afternoon.

ok mate good luck with it..............you should make profit laying shorties, it's just finding the right ones

Hello GVL. I'll join you when the "other" tennis is finished ;)

actually watched a couple matches yesterday there was fckall else on. despite all the high and mighty comments about the atp i saw the same muggishness as on the wta. one match had 4 blakes in 5 games :^0

rather more bets today than i'd usually go for, but have re-examined them all and don't think i'm going ott. back to 50 steaks and if bank drops below 1000 then down to 45, if it goes above 1200 then up to 55.

12.40 leic spring jim @ 2.32
12.50 plum anak (20pts) @ 1.41
13.10 leic screaming brave @ 1.9
13.50 plum the betchworth kid (20pts) @ 1.86

14.20 plum bensalem (20pts) @ 1.56
14.30 wolv zegna lay in @ 3
14.50 plum stormhoek lay in @ 3

the plum shorties very speculative. all 3 good horses but none jumped a fence/hurdle in public before. may well trot up, but at odds on i'll take the risk.

oops correction, got on screaming brave @ 1.76 and the betchworth kid @ 1.78 :)

you are everywhere GVL lol...dont u hate when u get a horse tip.it makes u sspend cash when u dont want too...errmm what was it callled..ladies waiting at wolverhampton

not everywhere ffs! lol wta, cricket, nfl, the occasional foray onto footie. hardly everywhere! and only do these nags when there's no wta.

fck me every 1 of the 6 favs opposed has scooted home :_| would've been a 33/1 acca :^0 :^0 :^0

think i'll take the hint and retire hurt from this game :| going to be a boring 7 weeks till the tennis kicks off again :(

tennis Sunday in London and it's the Grand Slam of Darts live on ITV4 every night from 6pm

what more do you want? :)

i don't bet on men's tennis. as for darts ... :0
