of course it depends where you think the line is and your opinion of the angle.

I got lucky, done a few £££s backing Reclaim Victory in the final furlong but got it all back and a bit more in the photo.

using that ,it would be a funny angle/line or eyes that made the 2nd look the winner

I do this full time, Hibby. That means I've manually traded all 307 races run at Newcastle since 27th July. It doesn't take 307 races to learn the photo angles.

i thought same didnt see race or result thought line and photo was proving outside horse won,so basically photo,s at n,castle favour those closest to rail
By:
Rico-Dangleflaps
When: 17 Jan 24 16:21
they dont favour anything..it favours if you know the angle the camera up in the box is coming from.
By:
1st time poster
When: 17 Jan 24 16:23
does that change from meet to meet ?
or is that a wind up
otherwise it favours nearside rail
By:

that's what gave the game away 'jamee'...

someone new on here wouldn't just start attacking me for no reason (especially someone i had never even see before on here)...

the conspiracy theory stuff started alarm bells ringing...

schoolboy error that.

Believe what you like if it makes you feel better. You are wrong.

Mirror mirror on the wall
Where's the effing line after all?

re. who's really in front, depends on gap between horses across the track width but from the ATR video I generally give the far side horse another 2 inches minimum  (and that's from  more than 6 months betting at Newcastle Hibby!)
By:
1st time poster
When: 17 Jan 24 17:00
excuse my ignorance
but if as seems if theres any advantage using pics provided its to near side,why would you be giving 2 inches to the far side ?,if anything you,d chance taking some off, wouldnt you ?
By:

When: 17 Jan 24 17:03
the far side is nearer the winning line than it appears on ATR imv.

When: 17 Jan 24 17:31
sorry i,m missing something here
if those who no, think the far side is always  closer than you think and the photo example and line given on here ,looks like the far side might have won
HOW DID IT LOSE ?
ive not seen race / or result just assuming by a post earlier that near side won
By:
1st time poster
When: 17 Jan 24 17:36
right now no ,no 1 won nearside
so if as a n,castle photo guru says he gives 2 inches to far side, the far side wins
HOW DOES THAT HELP YOU IN PHOTO BETTING ?

photo betting is similar to betting in Stewards enqs - do it at your peril basically, as who knows how exactly a decision is made. For that reason, I'm out.

cos if you look at the 2 fotos i uploaded..the 1st one if you draw a line from mirror to the lollipop (who most presume is the line) if looks like far side has won..but the actual line from the box 10yds up in the sky the angle is 100% a foot further right from the lollipop so as ewe says it favours this side..but its very tricky and can easily catch ewe out.

By:

but if it favours this side why would someone who thinks he no,s the angle/line at n,castle give far side 2 inches, surely if anything you,d take something off the far side
or i,m missing something really obvious ?
