How forumites deal with losing tips

Skinto: ask the forum if they've ever known him to be wrong

WHEN YOU STARTING YOUR 150/1 WINNA THREAD GEORGE, TWO AT THEM PRICES  LAST YR IF ME MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT

and over 300 points in profit to a 1 pt level stake at BFSP after commission, toffee man

Not that I'm one to dwell on long lost glories or aincent history!

Mind, it was a good job I finished it when I did, think it would have been -300 by now

interesting compilation , i like to be right , cos if im right i win real money ,,, yet if one of my bigger bets loses , that definatly effects my next few bets , but a winner  and the games on  again ,

perhaps my after race stuff isnt of ant interest nor use to anyone ,  The way i do things it has to be for me at least relevent as to why the horse lost ,  I suppose if i was just saying ,,, masham star 1,30 , it wd be simpler ,and if it loses , theres always the next race ,

I like to eat comfort food from My large hamper.

Deals with it impeccably IMO.

Actually scrap that you said losing tips not losing.

Very good, striding and ItsMeSwaddle

kemo, I should stress, it's just an observation, not a criticism. Anyway, I actually love reading all that stuff about owners, trainers and work riders blaming the jockey!

i didnt take it as critical at all , i post not really to put up winners ,or indeed losers ; ive always been interested in the colour in the bckground so my comments ref the work staff , and  the   asst trainers etc  esp when they win or lose is part of it ,,, like this morning it was all bacon butties , and gossip about the ride last night ,,, plus other stables taking the piss about the so called good thing , newmarket is tiny really everyone knows everyone else , there are few real secrets ,  its rare i say that ride was awful let alone say the horse wasnt off , i just commented because two same jockey for big owner and trainer ,  for me just no thought into it ,,, im sure it will change ,

foyleswar...................sh,appens !

hey foyles , i am just not like that ,,, sometimes i wish i was ,,, i went into an old house near wishaw the other day an ex police station to see if it could be renovated ,,, it had a tree growing through the roof , last used 40yrs or so ago ,,,  my partner asked is it fixable ,,, i said its a huge amount of work and cash ,,,  shes just e maled me ,,, ive bought it 15000 quid ; as y say **** happens ,  looks like im stuck in scotland a little longer ,

if i put up a losing bet and any one gives me grief i just say shappens , luckily the big priced winners i have put up since cheltenham festival  have outdone the losers .

well done kemo anything can be fixed good luck .

ive just replied , who do you think i am harry potter ,,,

ha ha ,no seriously it can be done ,anything can if ya put ya mind to it .

the next door neighbour asked as i was looking round what will you do with the cells underground , i shuddered , so ive mull , leith ,edinburgh, lymm , toulouse, now frigging wishaw ,,, and the forum ,,, im a tad stretched,,, ive sat around for a week waiting for a certificate from council so can sell the place in leith ,, its taken two years to modernise ,,, when we ist were going to sell it it was going to be 11O OOO after all work done ,,, its been sold provisionally this week for 185000,  house rices in edinburgh are as bad as london ,

Everyone picks losers George, goes with the territory. I try not to blame the jockey as sometimes races don't pan out as you thought, i'm usually ok so long as they run pretty well and shorten up to a quarter or so of the price as you can always say you've traded out! If they run like nags i just say i was wrong and look for the next one!
I don't put up tips as such, just put up my thoughts on certain races, if people choose to back them/or lay them, then thats up to themselves. I find if you've had a good in depth look at a race it helps to put your thoughts down on paper for future reference, whether they win or lose you can see why you backed them and learn from your mistakes. Like you i'm not always trying to put up winners but horses that i think will run very well at a price, sometimes think they have a good chance of a place and may just win.

indeed, stewarts

stewarty b: throw a cocktail party

Really it's a good job that some people put up their selections or this forum would just be a place to sl@g off jockeys and supposed bent races (know it goes on). Years ago we had the likes of Well Chief, Aceform, Red Punter, fryboy, giggilo etc putting up their fancies, was a far more interesting place then.

there are just loads and loads of bad losers, blame everything and everyone. yes there are poor, unlucky and a few questionable rides but the simple fact is that people hat to lose, cant afford to lose and vent their anger at every opportunity.
i have plenty time for people who take their time and watch the replay and have an opinion but no time for those who are on a second after they past the post.

wise words, dealer

unlucky kemo with masham star, done no favours by SDS there

ohh that wasnt a suggested horse , i just picked one at random to show that isnt the way i do it ,,, now if it had won i of course would have said i lumped on ,  a bit like ryan  ,frannie for me who rode a 6f sprinter like a quarter horse , def not for me

ah, with you now, kemo

cardenden: start a new thread

perhaps i need to try that method ,,, today mathew the winner is 3.45 dalness express ,,,  cue the smoke and it will emerge like hill house from the mists and rain , of course you have to know about hill house ,,, a time when racing was straight and run by the toffs with captain ryan price the most honest of them all , tip of the hat ;

deal with them same way as winners ,just get on with it ,
every day there are posts about **** jockeys **** trainers ,
if you dont like them dont bet ffs ,
but stop posting a load of old cobblers about jockeys and bent trainers ,give it up.

Never backed a losing tip.
