It's a wonder whoever laid didn't have a coronary the way it just suddenly appeared in the picture at the last fence.

special mindset laying them. when one wins, never think about how long it's going to take to get it back, just write if off to extremely bad luck & get laying again asap. rico lost 1/4 million on metal detector, was laying the next one 5 minutes later.

By:
quite where the 1/4 million came from (not here) is anyone's guess ...

whatever happened to Racingluck, he couldnt stop winning. I rem he hit a few bad results, but came across a very consistent winner. Hopefully he didnt hit one of these type of big numbers as it would take some grit to get it back and on the right road again.

By:
stayinin , fair play for posting that bet
 |
|
By:
Didn't he take a couple of big hits in a very short space of time!

Rico laid Metal Detector in 2007?
|
|
By:
It had won by 18 lengths, biggest 1000 comeback ever.
|
|
By:

Times going nowhere

By:
yeah didnt thommo call it as fallen ,that was the time when laying fallers 3 secs before anyone else knew was in vogue
|
|
By:
As i remember foyles , yes
|
|
By:
the problem is you just know if you lay em at 999...... 499 times out of 500 you will takin candy from a baby ,but sooner or later baby snatches it all back and honks up on ya!

By:
laying is like borrowing money, in the end you pay it back with interest
|
|
By:
Every day a new mug joins betfair, starts laying 20/1 shots and wins 20 in a row. "Riches await! He thinks". And then he hits 2 winners in 4 bets.

was £150,000 actually it was all over the press... and i'll reiterate,at that time i'd been going to thornaby for 9 weeks..in that time i was +£180,000..so i gave a bit back..life went on  stayinin...if you want to lay 1000 and leave it lying when they are out of shot you want ya heed looking at.. if you didnt get the £30 in the context it means nothing..if you do 30k it certainly does..a lesson learned. |

 Ishkhara Lady 5:00. Stealing money? stewarty b 11 Mar 21 16:20 I'm sure it is. Going to spunk 2 monkeys. Down 140 for the day, this should cover it. stewarty b 11 Mar 21 16:42 Form different gravy here. 30/100 looks fair imo. stewarty b Joined: 02 Aug 02 Replies: 2835211 Mar 21 17:19 FWIW I wasn't heavily involved.

warrack, how long did it take you to get back the 150k ?
|
|
By:
and i'll reiterate,at that time i'd been going to thornaby for 9 weeks..in that time i was +£180,000..so i gave a bit back..life went on
didnt need to get it back..already had it. |
|
By:
Rico, did it clean you out hence no efforts to limit the damage? That must've been an excruciating few minutes if so.
|
|
By:
im hardly gona risk everything ive got ..i had 250k in my acc at the time..i'd won 180k the previous 9 weeks..in those days 30k a week was achievable.
|
|
By:
you know what i mean
 |
|
By:
ahh ok , so maybe 2 months or more.
|
|
By:
strange thing is..at the time of race i was +16,000 on the week..in hindsight i should have tried to have 16k back on it and if lost i was level on the week..but it didnt look like winning at all till the last mile.
|
|
By:
Basically he was 30k up in just over 2 months so a good couple months work.
|

By:
i cant recall at the time pabs..but those times were good...ive won 6 figs at least ev yr since 2004..its no incentive these days..i still enjoy playing the cistern even though its brutal these days.
