have a Premium brokerage service, and why is it that when you phone them, they have five options? (placing a bet being number five) As **** says , they don't wan't you to bet.

PS How long will it be before we have Betfair bingo?

The ranch foreman won't miss the psychopathic outbursts though stewarty. The old dear through the wall from me must think I killed mine two years ago. Laugh

Feck, with the hundreds of thousands you've made from Betfair, I thought you would be in a detached property.  LaughLaugh


As for the ranch foreman, she has told me in no uncertain terms not to get her involved with my punting. (I phoned her at her work on the 18th of march and asked her to deposit 500 into my account, 5 minutes away) She said to me, 'where am I going to get the money from'. I pointed out that she had more than one card to withdraw the money. (I couldn't transfer money on time as it takes 3 daye to go from the co-op to Barclays)

She obliged, but was fuming as she's not into me punting.


Of course we all have excuses at times, but I swear on the first day at chelters I was up at 6am and went through the champion hurdle form 4 times. I stuck a monkey on Hurricane Fly at 4.8 only to be told I didn't have enough funds in my account. (I'd forgot to deposit) In the 40 seconds it took me to put me to put money into my account the price had dropped to 4.6. I tried to drip feed the 500 at 4.5 but to no avail. I detest missing the price and did a bit of chasing after it won, hence that dresded phone call......

stewarty, if you get any grief from the ranch foreman just tell her how much you lost on your worst run ever. They're usually too depressed to head nip after such a revelation. After an argument I once told mine "did I ever tell you about the time I lost xK in 3 days, how long would you have to work to earn that?". I won't mention the value of x but I swear she's never been the same since. Laugh

That was a cracker Feck. If I told you some of my tales about the gaffer it would make your jaw drop!!

I once bought her a Dyson for her birthday and when she complained I told her it was the female equivalent of those boots in "All's quiet on the Western front".

In case you haven't seen the film stewarty


Kemmerich’s Boots

All Quiet on the Western Front doesn’t employ a great deal of symbolism, but one important symbol in the novel is Kemmerich’s boots. Kemmerich’s high, supple boots are passed from soldier to soldier as each owner dies in sequence. Kemmerich himself took them from the corpse of a dead airman, and as Kemmerich lies on his own deathbed, Müller immediately begins maneuvering to receive the boots. Paul brings them to Müller after Kemmerich dies and inherits them himself when Müller is shot to death later in the novel. In this way, the boots represent the cheapness of human life in the war. A good pair of boots is more valuable—and more durable—than a human life. The question of who will inherit them continually overshadows their owners’ deaths. The boots also symbolize the necessary pragmatism that a soldier must have. One cannot yield to one’s emotions amid the devastation of the war; rather, one must block out grief and despair like a machine.

That last sentence sure rings a bell Feck!


Have you ever tried reverse psychology with the ranch foreman Feck? ie. 'Nice to see you home from work honey, your supper is almost ready. By the way did I forget to mention I've won ***k in the past three weeks'. She'd be all over you like a rash. Laugh


On a serious note, I see you're not having much luck with your Timeform thread. Just as a matter of interest, do you ever buy the, (in this case) Racehorses of 2010 book?

I haven't bought it for 2 years due to the different ratings, (which are becoming less revalent each year due to the increase of AW racing IMHO. Having said that, I still think it's value for money, but I can't abide a horse having two different ratings, and now that Jimbo's gone,that put me off a tad. Having said that, give me Timeform's ratings any day before the RP lot...

I've gave the woman a fortune stewarty. She doesn't have to work.

Re timeform, my programme's all set up to import the timeform data but, while I use their comments, my programme works out my own ratings so I don't use theirs for anything other than a second opinion when I'm in doubt. Every time I try to convert the import to raceform I meet problems. Not insurmountable ones but enough for me to put it in the to do tray. I'll really have to get round to it though because if nothing else at least they want you to subscribe.
Report Feck N. Eejit May 31, 2011 6:03 PM BST
Never bought a Racehorses book but got one free off betfair. Didn't even glance at it TBH. The length of some of the timeform comments read like the log of a tart's phone call and yet often don't even mention where the horse was positioned throughout the race.
Report stewarty b May 31, 2011 6:43 PM BST
That may be true Feck re: your last sentence, however I find/found their ratings fairly accurate, especially at the begining of the season. I'm suprised at your comments regarding the book. Are we talking about the same book that must cost 100 quid now? Or did Betfair give you a mickey mouse version? The last one I bought cost me 85 quid and has EVERY horse rated. (1280 pages)
Report Feck N. Eejit June 1, 2011 8:41 AM BST
No, it was the expensive book stewarty. Their ratings are better than raceform's but I use my own.

Hello Feck, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. (I was busy elswhere)


Anyways, you may have seen my Derby winning post on horseracing.

I never knew there were so many trolls and stalkers on there.
  Regardless, my first bet since the 18th of march trotted up, albeit the jockey was celebrating before the line!!

I'm now sitting down enjoying a nice drink with the ranch foreman when that Britain's got talent comes on.

I said to her, I'm off to the bedroom to watch something else.

Previous to this she asked me how much I'd won on the Derby.

I replied, 'you told me not to mention gambling to you anymore'.

That was the end of that. Just as I'm leaving the living room, she pipe's up....'I know who's going to win this'.

I said who?

This was the end result......

Could bail out now....


Now what bugged me the most was she actually cheered when the result was announced. I said what are you on about, I backed the 12 year old kid like you advised.

'But it was a scotsman that won' she informed me.

I never finished that story, I clicked post reply by mistake.

Here's the question Feck, you have 2k on a 4/1 beast and mrs Feck says....'I fancy that one with the bonny blue colours', which pips yours at the post.

Needless to say she didn't get the 200 I was going to give her for some new summer clothes. (that she didn't know about)


I'm genuinely still seething because my lad went into 1.14.

I thought the telephone mob texted their mates with the incoming results.

Moral of the story??? Have a woman free room when punting!!!!
