Viking Jack

Shotgun Harley

hadn't had a bet before the first round but bet riverside pat 50s and gaytime hawk 66s thursday day time. fancied them both strongly for their race pacey strong running types hopefully keep going.

Personally, had mixed fortunes round one. Very happy with Farloe Blitz, couldnt ask any more of Sidarian Blaze, glad added Eden The Kid at the 11th hour yesterday and despite his costly defeat when second the other night, okay about Riverside Pat. Plenty others still for profit but some running at a loss already

Very disappointed with Ballymac Matt. Went from aeroplane to quite ordinary and didnt think Blue Cafu showed that much before ko. Pair quite a blow. Knew i had to lose Brogan or Trigger really but wasnt happy with both crashing

ballymac matt out
deanridge pennys out
vuturi out all 3rd

still in
gaytime hawk
boyneside fun
eden the kid
kentish man

added paradise maverik at 50s

There where rumours all week all was not well with Ballymac Matt and then he was Woody'd and Collier'd so wasn't really surprising at all what happened

Happy with what i have got but not heppy with how the draw went today

Jaytee Jet 70
Shotgun Harley 152.53
Adageo Bob 350
Kentish Man 420
Eden The Kid 180

Deanridge Pennys
Dunghill Rocket
Honest John

I like being thrown in the same sack as Julie

Oh, by the way PF. You say youre happy with what youve got but according to the list you pulished, youve only got Clares and Tiggy left, apparently Ward also. No Borneo, B*ylesports Jet, Norris, Fiery, Tommys, Vans Viking, Vimmerby or Laughil Bolt. Dont know about Woodying and Colliering dogs, think youre PFing your own dogs!

I posted the lays on the dogs you have named also (Borneo, Norris, Splendour, Viking, Vimmerby and Bolt)

I know exactly what i have left and am afraid of my life to post them as no doubt some Manc Bok will jump on the bandwagon

Brogans Gone

Sidarian Blaze    24.64

Kentish Kane    600   
Ballymac Loch    691.35

quattro ew at 66   very small bets bit of fun, will go in this week for serious couple of bets , done my brains last year before a trap had opened ,Losing Spy briana  and Splendour who I had for bundles last year in the 1/4s done my head in swore I would not get involved again

Oh, okay. Good luck then. Dont think it will be semis or final now before i cover all the eventualities, hopefully

covering all eventualities...........wtf...... you seriously going to back them all?

Invested about £42 on the exchanges so far and £65 on line and high street. Come final probably be into the Derby for about £150. Really hoping my £345 dog gets there or maybe one or two £200 dogs. Some will be running to break even and dare say, some running at a loss. That's what usually happens past few years anyway. Wanting a result this year. Crokers not Salad would have been fine 2014

any price, 10 on, can be value if the chance of that outcome happening is bigger than 91%.... there is no set price which determines something being value, a greater chance of the outcome happening than the market price available is what value is woody. simple as that.

Addy, i would never want to risk £150 betting for nothing back. £50 single was my maximum bet ever but now £25 max. Biggest bets this year £20 and £15. I see the Derby as an investment, a savings plan, to yield a return at the end

If I wanted a investment
I buy shares or south think of that manor
Greyhound derby is a punt pure and simple !!

Yeah, keep saying I'm going to change my ploy. Sensible thing to pick maybe 3 out when runners announced and see how they do. Just usually get too wrapped up in it. The plan has been to get enough "value" early to cover at the end

Past years, i remember people saying they wouldnt even have a bet until they had seen all dogs run on the same card. No mention of that this time around. Good idea to watch first round at least, then would have saved on Trigger, Brogan and Matt but wouldnt have got the price Eden. Seems swings and roundabouts really?

Fancied Farloe Blitz early but even more after first round, after which backed him properly

personally in most instances i would rather take 50s about a confirmed runner than 100s 6 months in advance. would rather back 2-3 dogs and accept ive done my money if they dont reach the final rather than 10-15 dogs. you add up all the 2,3,4 %'s of the dogs youve backed and before you know it you're essentially bet 4,5,6 to 1 youve found the derby winner. to me thats a bit mad, as you need a couple of finalists at least to have a chance of even drawing level - and if it goes wrong, it goes very wrong.

antepost prices are weighted SO HEAVILY in favour of the layers. the over-round is over 200% a few months in advance maybe even 300%. i dont understand how or why they restrict bets, at those margins they should be accommodating nearly everything and looking to bring in as much turnover as possible. you dont need to lay every dog, 2/3rds of the dogs still gives you a 140% book and yeeah ok you might get 5 or 6 big reds but really the chance of them winning you have to be a layer taking it all in, some of them dont even make the track then some of them turn up not right, so much in favour of the layers.

not one of last years six finalists was in the new year antepost list  , a gigantic rip off given the make up of the current competition

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Lanza seems to be a very successful layer but he's still sweating for obscene amounts of money sometimes, it seems

2 v salient posts addy, agree completely
its an ideal market for the books to lay imo but you gotta have a pair and a proper tank to do it on here so fair play to lanza

anyone who lays a book has to have a pair imvho , its a buyers market , punters can walk away.

Have had one small bet so far - Ballymac Sinbad.
I now intend to bet Droopys Ward,  Paradise Maverik, Farloe Blitz, Quietly and Beaming Bucko.

(In order of biggest winner)
Ward 80 and 66 ew
Pat 50 ew
Clares 50 ew
Blaze 33 and 25 win only
Blitz 25 win only 16/1 (topped up)
added
Coolavanny **** 50 ew
Tynwald Rodney 80 ew

Pretty safe to say thats me all done
Unless they all go out

Crokers gone home
Vega gone home
Splendour didnt make it Cry

I've added Rodney had to take the 66 if it wins will be half those odds ,if it don't win I doubt it will be in

Bit more Quattro ew and Lemon EW not quite sure how lemon qualifies but if it does the 200 maybe looking a bit big for

ew purposes ,also another Lunatic ew which Im not disclosing for fear of Ridicule

Already bet enough no hopers

Ridicule?  On here? Never!
Come on case, tell us now - wonders and Clousaeu won't be around until the evening.  By that time fattie will have posted something unintelligible and woody will have tipped another ten and your post will seem very sane.

Save The Don @ 80s & 60.74 (avg)
Droopys Ward e/w @ 66s and 50s
Droopys Ward @ 20s (free bet)
Bellmore Neymar @ 125s
Clares Wonder @ 53.32 (avg)
Lenson Tiggy @ 210.43 (avg)
Roxholme Ted @ 66s


Save The Don is my biggest winner thanks to some doubles with Peacock last week at Newmarket, obviously worried about the heat he has been drawn but he has been drawn well in it at least. Droopys Ward has long been my fancy for it, more for the e/w part of the bet, only played Bellmore Neymar after round 1 in which I thought he was impressive but he will have to trap much better with been drawn outside On Alert now, Lenson Tiggy clearly didn't get home but if showed some boot out of the 2nd bend and could go a few rounds more, Clares Wonder I am currently deciding whether or not to take some out of that bet or the lot, while I expect him to come on bundles for last week I don't like him when not drawn 6. Roxholme Ted is only a small winner, don't really like his draw either this week so will have to decide what to do with him.

Yeah I'm on Neymar , Baile Miche and Maverick . That's about it at the moment. will have a look for a few 1000-1 shots before tomorrow night

Didnt know you was an avid fan of the Queen, PF?!

You have totally lost me

Main scores on the doors in descending order now:

Farloe Blitz
Sidarian Blaze
Geelo Vegas
Riverside Pat
Eden The Kid
Rio Quattro
Newinn Yolo
Swift Hoffman

Blitz would be my biggest win, ever and Blaze one of them. Happy with any named dog, though

Nervous and excited concurrently

Good luck!

Thought Peacock was owned by the Queen?

Yes the horse is. I could not care if it was owned by Gary Glitter, if I thought it was overpriced I would be backing it

It was the only way to get a decent amount running onto the dog as they would not take the bets straight

Nervous and excited concurrently




calm down now Woody, it's only round 2 coming up

Aye, but every round as important as the final for qualification purposes. Dont want more departures like Brogan/Trigger, but if remaining dogs impressive and odds crumble, will be sitting pretty

aye, and if you're auntie had b0ll0cks...

i've had a bit on that big outsider in the first round , cant remember its name ? Sozzled or something similar ? and Diego ... still got clean underwear .... although must admit blaze out of one got me a semi ,not a regular occurrence in certain parts

The Irish clown who insists class must out looking for 1000/1 shots while the English clown who went shopping rather than watch the first round heats is now so excited he is creaming his pants. The forum village does not have any vacancies.

Well and truly angered by my nonchalance to this pondlife's comments and his return from the depths of my keepnet , one begs the question has he ever put up a greyhound selection or viewpoint on here ?

Only missed 2 or 3 races at the end of the card when it got below par last week. Do wish you would get your facts right, Safari
