Poor Dave Nevison Look what happened to him This was karma

Dave's fine, currently having a nice jolly fly-fishing on the Tay while wandering back on course for the occasional ring report.

It was a bit of a sickener of a bet that's for sure - I'm sure the Townsend case recently rang bells in some people's memory for the Davies case. But to have it at the end a big winning acca would certainly take the ultimate pee.

One question though, Betfair was firing away quite well in 2009 - surely he laid some of that 360k off...?

"It was six years ago and it still hurts," he says. "I still think about it once a week or so. It could have paid off the mortgage and I'd have been in a totally different" I can't really back at and situation. I'll never forget that moment and look it laugh. It's not the kind I go into a pub and of thing can say you'll never guess what happened to me.

"It but seems weird, although the money is definitely part of it, what hurts most is that we got it so right for such a small stake and still didn't cop it. That was the real sickener.


The Racing Post could do with some proofreaders. My brain just exploded trying to read that

I mean, come on

Wouldn't read like authentic Nevisonese if they corrected him.

I read his book actually, not a bad little read enjoyed it well enough.

He's become a bit more confused since then, that's for sure.

It's all that hanging around on racing channels...

Listening to him gas away when he was an actual analyst on RUK (rather than being relegated to spluttering out the betting), one finds it impossible to imagine how he ever made it pay. He's absolutely clueless.

why feel sorry for him greedy b@stard could have laid 1.01 on run in

That was kind of what I was thinking Geoff, or if less greedy then lay at a bigger price for a fair chunk - I would have thought he probably did for some at least.

Think Dave was a "Fax" man,wasn't it supposed to be the holy grail for a while in the early 2000's? I heard Channing who seems to be the new pin up boy for RUK at the moment say he had a lot of success with it and it got him going.

Fax man ?

Dave is certainly a 'fax man' in an email age.

Thought he had one of them amstrad email gadgets

To tell you the truth he the most quick thinking person.

not the most quick thinking that should read

Seems to be doing better than you.

coming from you sadside, that is quite hilarious, just as well you're not the bitter or jealous type...!

fife

I don't think so.

You don't see me standing in the betting ring looking like a pirk calling out the prices.

that is true, we don't see you thankfully, you just use this forum to post thread after thread upon us looking and hoping for some adulation and a boost to a wildly oversized ego,

ruk couldn't leave him in scotland.

Yes,Dave back at Sandown today,our cup truly runneth over.

Do you think Dave would be standing in the ring telling you what has been backed and what has not and traveling up to Scotland and back.

Dave would be looking down his nose at all around and thinking to himself what a great punter I am.

But in saying that you do get to hear his thoughts for nothing but then again they are worth nothing.

They cancelled his plane last night but the fcker still turns up on time!

Should have sent him to Wincanton today.

Should have sent him to Syria

Have some compassion. The people have suffered enough already

Should have sent whichever Dixon it is that looks like IDS as well.

Should bin him...who's paying for him!

we all are

i like dave

thanks dave

dave not happy with the paying public...
