Additionaly, surely the cashier still has to ring a trader anyway if you're placing a few bob on, there is still an 'envisaged' take out ? Andrew, I've done it many times. 90 quid on FAV doesn't get picked up. Whereas 150 on a 2/1 chance (named) may be phoned to a trader. the dealer 05 Apr 18 16:10 Joined: 31 May 07 | Topic/replies: 16,562 | Blogger: the dealer's blog with all due respect stewarty, i find that astounding that you would bet like that. The dealer, since I started trolling the city centre only once has the FAV been a non runner. Some punters might think backing shorties is easy. Far from it but if I or anybody else can place 100 x £100 singles on even money shots you need 60 of them to win for it to be worthwhile. Call it an edge if you want but although my past few bets have gone down the amount of times I have beaten or equalled the price must be about 65%. I should add I do back largish priced horses also. If I can equal or better the price there is no commission involved. |

everyone to their own but still find it astounding. i also find it odd that in nearly all the threads you start about going into town, you nearly always comeback saying you got the money on at an average price, never once mentioning any of this unnamed fav stuff.
anyway good luck with it |

By:
Fair enough Stewart, but there is still a risk the horse you really fancy drifts (aka today) but wins.
|

By:
There's loads of flip-flopping FAVS, especially in the short runner fields that Stew likes to back in.
There will be many times when you don't even know which horse you're on once the race has started. There's also the joint fav scenario which would end up seeing you lose money. |

spot on steve. Last two backed drifted like the proverbial on here. Don't get me wrong, I've had plenty winners that have drifted (usually when a.n. other#0 is getting backed but as for today for example when I'm on at 5/4 and real money is laying it at 3/1....well, you kind of know how things are going to pan out...

The Dealer, Approx 50% of my punting is with BF. 30-35% with the 2% mob and only about 15% with the books. It's usually a walk into town when I fancy one at say evens and think it may go off odds on.
Expenses and value are everything to me....especially commission. |

c'mon stew,was it chav via inbox?

You speak of expenses and value being important to you but freely admit you do not keep records, surely one goes arm in arm with the other for anyone seriously trying to make the game pay, otherwise there is no way you can definitively know for sure where you stand.

willie boy, I have told you once before and this is the last time.
What is said between chavers and myself by PM, remains between the two of us. (not all, but mostly for betting purposes) |

CL, I feel like I'm being interviewed by Piers Morgan on this thread. Let me put it this way. There is nothing I need that I can't afford. |

I'm off to prepare dinner for Miss stew. Macaroni with a twist I may add. Dancing Brave Bear looks a shoe in in the first but no bet here.

is stew and miss stew having stew by any chance?
|
|
By:
That will sound like a deflection to most stewarty, I like many others on here have serious reservations about anyone who does not keep records to measure their performance, irrespective of how comfortable they may purport to be, most successful players are usually good housekeepers.

Thought I would keep my selections on here until things change... Managed to get a couple of bob on at 15/8 on Larry in the 3:10 Fontwell.
Has some decent form on this ground albeit a 4/11 shot last time out. On the negative side it gives weight away all round plus Moore is no superstar when getting the leg up. My instructions to Jamie would be simple....'Lead all the way and if you get caught then so be it'. 'If confused by these instructions quickly look back at some of Peter Scudamore's rides on DVD...' G/L all for the day. |
