I don't really buy the story about thousands of accumulators coming unstuck on Annie Power

if the cumulative weight of small money accas is being talked about, would the typical small money acca not be going for bigger prices than those 4 on day 1?

turning to singles, the results don't look like brilliant results for the bookie (to a layman that is), several winners near the top of the card

would be interested in reports

when gleesson on ch 4 was showing us the bookies book winners and losers what i couldnt get my head around was in the jlt,
pit zig was a huge drifter 3,s to 5,s but was a bigger loser in the book than the supposedly better backed 2nd fav [ whoose name ive forgot] how does that work,surely a bookie lengthens a horse because he aint taking any money on it

Report REGIT March 15, 2015 2:05 PM GMT
First time if the bookie was betting without an opinion the last two things he would have done on bet fair would be to lay the second fav and back the drifter back.some horses are over backed when they drift and horses that shorten can be hard to lay cos the punter thinks he's missed the price.by laying the 2nd fav and backing the drifter he should hold more money if he gets a result.i don't know who you are first time and if this is a bit basic I apologise just trying to help.

That screen was the bookmakers book.it tells you exactly how much each horse wins and loses.what you have to remember is that wasn't on the off.fact is right on the off they could have all been winners obviously for a lot less.fact is obsessed with other people's business why I have no idea.

Fact it's the non stop negativity.why does it matter what that bookmaker does.as regards the bets struck I'm sure some are exaggerated and the bigger genuine ones are account bets but it helps to push an industry that needs a push.im out of it from a financial point of view but your living depends on it .your average punter would have been interested to see a book and to hear about the bets struck.

this year I backed back [ on here ] six horses all week. last year it was none . I'm probably going soft ..they all lost.

Was at Cheltenham first 3 days in the Tattersalls seats and the first few bookies were not taking any bets but still shortening Douvan and L ami serge.
Sent someone down to bet Douvan at 2/1 came back with 15/8 the Ladbrokes shop had it at 2/1 so had more on with them.spent the next 3 days just betting with Ladbrokes in shop and coral on mobile better offers and better odds

Report maleuk01. March 15, 2015 7:01 PM GMT
was at chelt all 4 days.

It seemed the bookies just shortened virtually everything (common at Aintree). Not a lot seemed to drift to compensate.

Online bookies going 1/4 the odds all races and lots of extra places in the big handicaps, as well as other offers to. I went to the ladbrooks shop first 2 days but was so rammed couldn't be bothered the last 2 days.

Fortunately 4g worked great at the course so did most of my bets there using 1 online bookie even when no offers on the race bar the 1/4odds, as where the same odds as oncourse or bigger.

Think I only placed 3 bets oncourse, they were just out of laziness and I brought cash to bet with.

Its a shame as I like using oncourse bookies when I go as it adds to part of the experience . But their prices, place terms and offers just don't make it viable anymore.

Coach load I was on all went to lads in the Cent/bar.
Took them sometimes 10 mins to get served.
The boards were closer when we watched the race on the screens.  Tongue Out
Opened there eyes when I brought back a 5/1 PLACE only slip from a board.
They had the view bookies don't do PLACE ONLY.  Mischief

Nothing on the boards about PLACE ONLY.
Went round myself had to ask for Place only.

Think you might find the coach load punters would be more interested in a
4/1 + odds about a horse to finish in the places then a 25/1 + winner.

Only if you "point them that way"  Wink

They all do the placepot.
