I'm on too Jon - full stake EW at 3/1

Yeah - thought the ground would be a leveller - but it worked the other way!

bookies coining it in today........

aroha getting well backed .........must be a lot of very forgiving punters out there........

I'm done with EW's for the day - just the one thread bet for me - which ran like a drain - everything still to come looks either a bit too short or a bit too speculative for me. GL.

Todays Filthy EW thread bet:

12:50 Leicester: Dark Illusion - EW - 3rd (unplaced) at 11/4 ISP (Backed EW at average of 4.00) = - 2.00

Daily Thread Bet Total: - 2.00
Running Thread Bet Total: + 5.76 and going nowhere fast!

Cheers TM.  Of those two I only ended up doing the 3.20.  Il Courra turned out to be a nice result at Wexford especially with the BOG.

Crossed posts again Jon - yes 6/1 is very nice.

couldn"t agree more................been up early for study ,all way to competitive.......

Well as grim as it maybe today the 2.35 at Bangor has tempted me in. 10/11, 100/30, 10/1 bar.  I'm on Percy's Word ew at 100/30.
GL if anyone does decide to play today.

2-35 @ Bangor the only interesting race today...........Percys Word look obvious just sure how strong that race at Perth was and a better bet in opinion is LLandinabo Lad , who boasts some seriously strong bumper form.......his debut 4th beaten just 5 1/2 lengths by Chantry House , with Edwardstone 2nd and Shan Blue 3rd is without doubt the strongest form in this line up......His Ascot 2nd is not too shabby either ( Third Time Lucki 3rd ,Highway One O Two 4th )...he got stuck in the mud on truly terrible ground on his last run ,but still put up a respectable performance ........he has to be backed at a double figure price ...imo

Well done skip that was a great shout !!

aye aye Skip(jack tuna)....great call

Nice to hear from you again Brian - and to hear from you too Cupwinkcook. I do broadly agree with what you have both posted - EW filth has certainly become increasingly challenging, it's not as good as it used to be - prices are indeed much tighter and getting on is more difficult than ever.

But I actually started this thread as a response to some amicable p1ss taking (from somebody that I won't name here) to prove that it could STILL be done profitably and that is more profitable than backing short priced certs (i.e. the odds on favs that we are opposing with our EW bets). It is more difficult than it used to be. I haven't exactly set the world alight (yet!) myself on this thread (+ 6 points in about 6 weeks on thread bets) - but it's been about as bad as it ever gets for me in those six weeks - and I have rejected (as thread bets) quite a few winners that I have actually backed and an absolute hatful of good priced winners that Skip and Jon have each put up.

It's still do-able (imo), It's still fun (I still enjoy it anyway) and it's good to hear from people that do or have done similar. All the best, don't be shy. GL.

A few more obvious races today......12-45 Nottingham Glide Down takes no picking ,debut form already boosted by winner running well in listed company, dam relished heavy ground , Bet366"S 100/30 looks tempting if you can get it ( i can"t!!!}....4-02 Fake is a match on paper , Martello Sky must go well , favs rider VERY inexperienced (never a good at this tricky track)....prices will guide me ....6-45 Kemp....today could be the day for Dyami.....Kirby booked so they mean business .....we will what happens as the day unfolds....

Morning .  I've taken 2/1 early doors Dyami. 13/8 now on BFSB.

I'm with you on Glide Down skip.  I've taken 11/4.

Well Glide Down was a bit disappointing but as you say TM it wasn't traditional filth.

I'm no great fan of beginners chases but i'm going in very small on Run Wild Fred at 6/1 3.25 Punch.

To be fair Skip - you and Jon have both come up with some cracking selections and some very nice priced winners - and most of them fall under the "filthy" banner imo - I'm happy to talk about any kind of ew betting in any kind of race - I often do a few speculative EW selections in races that aren't dirty - if I just don't like the front end of the market or want to oppose something short for a specific reason.

So please (everybody and anybody) keep on posting selections whenever you want - in whatever races you like - it's always good to talk - but for Filthy EW Thread Bets (which is what I started the thread for) I'm gonna stick along the lines of proper filth - No hard and fast rules - but typically what looks like 2 or 3 horse races with a short priced fav (preferably with some doubts about it) and 8+ runners. There are, as we all know, other variations but the broad acid teat is - if only had a tenner left in the world - would I have a pound each way of it on this selection or maybe two quid on it place only. GL all - keep them coming.

Well, that went off plenty short enough in the end - Dyami (18:45 Kempton - returned at just 11/8 ISP) but 2/1 available pretty much everywhere until about lunchtime and plenty of 7/4+ EW on here for most of the day - so worth the wait.

Well done Jon. And well done Skip on the same - plus also on Martello Sky in the bumper - it did indeed turn out to be a match and you picked he right one.

Good  Evening fellow thieves!

I vaguely remember joining in on a previous thread here regarding the delights of each way thievery, but it seemed to peter away after a while.

I too enjoy this particular form of taking cash from those awful bookie chaps, and will be joining this fun thread again.
Reading all the previous pages I have come to the conclusion (rightly or wrongly?), that perhaps "The Management" is a tad too conservative or risk averse,  and perhaps some others a little cavalier in their bets.
Perhaps the best is to lie somewhere in between.

A couple of things I would like to input.

1. Multiple ew bets are the way to go for me. All that value just gets better with multiplied odds, particularly the ew Lucky 15 if you can get the concessions etc, the seemingly poor value of the win odds are negated by the double/treble odds if one winner, leaving plenty of value in the place element of the bet.

2. If you can get on with bet365, that's the place to go especially if you are worried about an 8 runner race  becoming 7 etc, as their cashout is often the same as your stake, or a bit less if your selection has drifted, so you can just cashout and forget about the bet. I appreciate this will not be available for all though.


So I look forward to communicating more with you all on this, as I believe it is the best oppor TUNA ties we have in defeating the old enemy. (got one in TM)

Tomorrow   3.06 Str,  1.15 Lin, 5.45 Sou and 7.30 Che look the likely races

Happy thieving!
