previously itwas 140 quid but you knewprety much where youd bet, now you could bid 250 and be in a worse place, as i said before they can stick it where the sun dont shine, ive spoken to one of the guys who builds the joints up and he reckons the new deal makes it a waste of time for him to bother wioth financialy.i certainly coulnt be bothered to take my own joint up on the hill. all the aggro trying to put it away after when aLL I REALLY ANNA DO IS GO HOME.i usually do the frriday but i wont bother ill go to my home track brighton.if its poss to do just the aug bank i may do that but once again ill not lose any kip if i cant.went to a point to point today bet to fabulous figures, took resonable money , won more than ive ever won derby day , nevr had dispute with a drunk, got off the track in five mins without having to drive over broken beer bottles and paid less than the 150 min to bet derby day , it made me think "why do i actually want to got to epsom anyway.

S.O.G.Y likely to go to Cartmel Cashy - he's party of the furniture there you know but your other 'chums' are nailed on. Will this new arrangement stop you and Mossy arguing over a blade of grass ?

I don't go to rearranged points but todays looked very good for the lads.My plans today were to go to Sedgefield first choice,if that was off then go to the Jedforest point.Both off of course so we ended up at Micks point.I backed a 14/1 led over the last & got beat,a 12/1 led over the last & got beat,an even money fav. led over the last & got beat.Backed one each way,only paying on the first two & it finished third.Unbelievable! Sickoflaying winners You're talking sense there a decent point takes a bit of beating.As for Epsom I stopped going to Epsom a few years ago,I usually do far better business that day at Hexham & Newcastle than I used to at Epsom. |

getting back to the main point epsom are claiming they can implement these changes before september 2012 by declaring the areas as new betting areas as there are no set lists in these areas.
but everyone knows this is not true. they have been informed that lists do exsist but will not recognise them as they say there are unaware of them. if the f.r.b. wanted to they could get these changes delayed for this year at least but i guess it does not interest them. |

SOGY is in the Guinness Book of Bookmaking Records for betting to 200% one Derby Day, he is available to give lessons to any bookmaker currently betting to as close as 100% as possible. Get in early (like the Weaselewise) cos there is bound to be plenty of interest!!!

the bloke i bet next to on derby day openened at 112% on the derby that was at 11.30 and he got worse then complained it was rubbish.
|
|
By:
Ok so the betting % is not great, the fees are going up, you cant guarantee your pick, you need to arrive at 9am, the oaks and BH Monday are rubbish, its full of gypsies and people looking for a fight, you never get a result in the derby and you have to park your car miles from your pick and carry enough batteries to power London.
Can anyone give me a good reason not to attend the Derby this year !!!! |

By:

Cashy I only go with the Norfolk yokels in my capacity as navigator to avoid them getting lost - they dont travel much beyond Newmarket and satnav has yet to reach Yarmouth and Wisbech !! Weasel will have to decide whether to send his rep. to his second choice and as for him getting involved in a tender the only one he knows is 'Love Me Tender' !!!!

Ed, I offered 35 last year and was willing to deal. He wasn't interested. In my opinion that was a VERY fair offer.. I certainly wouldn't be offering that much now!!

By:
1 day a year, even in the decent pitches IMO. If I could get a decent price for mine I'd be OUT. Fat chance of that now its gone down the nick.

Different people have different strategies flash but one is a belief that the capital outlay would be recovered over 4 years - if the vendor rates the value at 40k that makes it 10k profit a year. You would of course work by the paddock off that no. with whatever benefits that brings. I like you am no great fan of the place, little atmosphere, seldom race in good weather and quality race days at a premium. Not sure if this helps much - if in doubt toss a coin !!

Flash you'll be pleased to know that a very recent sale at GY means that some of your 'dear friends' from Bernard Matthews country are now doubly represented at the course !! The mind boggles !
