Hi everyone, usually use the purple site for my betting as to avoid the premium charge but have £24 left in here so will be seeing how far i can get with it as a bit of fun

Last month i had a 86% strike rate of laying Favs no bigger than 2/1 in price

todays lay is

King's Song 16:25 Windsor i just layed @ 2.82

good luck if you decide to follow

I remember the 1793 Derby, Lord Grosvenor came up to me an' said

'Young Zapper, what thinkest thou of the chances of my arch rival Sir Freddie Pool's nag'

'Well, your Lordship' I replied, quick as a wink, 'I think he's as much chance as a pox-ridden wh0re of entering the Kingdom of Heaven.’

‘Lay, lay, lay to the hilt, and thank young Zapper when you’re a rich man come suppertime.’

Of course young Zapper forgot that the old nag was mounted by fearsome jock Master Willie Clift, it romped home fully 5 lengths clear and young Zapper had to make for the woods sharpish with a pack of his Lordship’s hounds on his heels.

Even had to change me name.

Back the champs and lay the chumps, or they might just spit you on 10 inches of cold steel – oh yes.

(It’s only a bit of fun – no offence Zip)Grin
