Dunn Ma Absolute Goolies At Ascot...

see you tomorrow

Feel the same way tbh acey, bollocks done at Ascot with horses running terribly for no reason, Notable speech and Inspiral being 2 I fancied.

Tuesday a nightmare, Wednesday very good Thursday good Friday was very good and Saturday I left my brains in my bed when I arose. I enjoyed it overall despite the rollercoaster.

Pretty much even the first 4 days but did OK yesterday. Some really nice prices for place only. Some were as much as 40% of the win price which is a stark contrast to the 1/5th from bookmakers. Wathnan horses place only paid out really well with 11 horses in the first 3 and 18 unplaced. Several were double figure odds for a place.

Did ok on the win and place markets, probably about even. Done my bollox again on multiples and exotics etc. Loads of winners and placed horses, but none in the right combinations

Thought it was a really good weeks racing though, definitely still the best betting meeting of the year imo. Royal Ascot is about the only meeting now that I can lose money on, but still enjoy.

What BoosterRooster said, although Saturday's away meetings were a big help after four red days.

Plenty of sickening results but River Tiber yesterday was off the scale ffs that was my Banker of the meeting.

'acey', I hope you're only wounded and live to fight another day. There were some sh1tty results. Most of the shorties had little form and could not be backed with confidence esp AOB.

Mr Appleby had a shocking Royal Ascot.

River Tiber has regressed, and needs a holiday or ply his trade elsewhere. I'd Haatem (7/2) but only in an acca given his 3lb concession to River Tiber and a new jockey; I steered clear of Inspiral - the bookie's horse.

Agree about Inspiral. The number of 5yo mares that win Group 1 races is vanishingly small. Enable was a freak. What had River Tiber done this year? Good third at the Curragh but has not won since June as a 2yo. I rarely look at 2yo form when assessing 3yos especially if they have improved or regressed on first run at 3. Rosallion and Haatem have improved a lot.

The worst stable form by a country mile was Roger Varian. Despite Charyn, he had a shocker with quite a few finishing tailed off. Andrew Balding didn't have a winner but apart from Kassaya, he didn't really have any good enough. Still a few placed at big odds.

acey, been a good few years I know but were you ever in a position to buy it back?

You’ll be back…

Thoroughly enjoyable week.

Great viewing despite not a single bet placed aside from the away meetings , saw a couple of emerging potential superstars and watching Kyprios win was awesome.

Being a jumps man though i'll always prefer Cheltenham / Aintree / Punchestown   

Another Great Post Toprated

The scoombag a pretendy BS that ain't got a clue about the Game

This year just didn't get excited by it . When I was working, used to take the afternoons off to watch it on TV. This year for the first time, I was quite happy to watch recordings if something else cropped up. Just too many calvalry charges on the straight course, be it 5f,6f, 7f or 8f. Like Hayden , I watched Cheltenham and Aintree avidly with few that I wasn't bothered about -e.g the bumpers and cross country. I wonder how ,any paid to be there everyday ? I remember when the Saturday was the Ascot Heath meeting without all the frippery.

Always sorry to hear another has done his goolies. It's usually just a matter of time for most on here. In my time in surgery I learnt the only way NOT do do one's goolies is never to lay one's goolies on the line! Good luck Mr Deucy.

Absolute Goolies = 54 quid

walofs poast ya prentendee losses

Did you mainly play the placepots, Acey?  I got my perm stake back Saturday but was down on other attempts.

Manoleeds...

Donegal Prince posted he attended all five days

There is no last race

There is, Mr Williams, but not one of us knows when that will be!!!!

Some people will be trying to recoup some losses with England @ 1.4 against Slovenia on Tuesday, perhaps...?

More than half of all the races won by fav or 2nd fav

England to do one a good turn? Mr Southgate and his mishmash army? Never! But, I'd be seduced if they are 'even' money; 1.4 is for the desperados.

England already qualified so you never know with Southgate. He might field a team made up of girl guides!

There's been so much backlash about their first two games, I was thinking surely they'll try to get the fans back on their side against supposedly inferior opponents.

The main beef with the tactic of Mr Southgate is the team is setup to get an early go. Then will sit back and defend to the final whistle regardless of opposition.

The backlash is justified, just a wee-bit long coming. The media pundits have been very patient or hoodwinked by the incompetent managerial ability of Mr Southgate. Or unprofessional because of cronyism.

David Moyes came in for a lot of grief from the WH fans for not trying to push on from a 1-0 position.

I did Hayden. Barely had the energy to switch the telly on today but I wouldn't miss it for the world. At last we had summer weather and I had my best RA for many a year. Kyprios @ 3/1 helped. Auguste,  Illinios and Port Fairy. Few others. Plenty of fizz and picnics. My favourite 5 days of the year but I'll be on water, vegetables and fruit for a week ...and no  **** and booze!

Nice Donegal , weeks like that provide great memories in years to come   

Full-on experience, Donegal..looks like you enjoyed it

It's a bit of a red herring about England sitting back on purpose, what's actually happening is the opposition are coming out and pressing when they go behind and our players can't keep the ball when pressed consequently we get pushed back.

The only period of dominance we've had so far was against Serbia when they let us have the ball, then when we scored, they came out and challenged us, similar thing with Denmark.

We'd be better off playing counter attack, of course with our players there is always an onus to try and control games but our players aren't capable of keeping the ball when challenged.

Some people will be trying to recoup some losses with England @ 1.4 against Slovenia on Tuesday, perhaps...?

yes, those who have had a row with their wallet ..

31 % of favs won.Plus 7.0 to one point.

To recover your munie
Lay Ingerland to win EUROS
Should be 16-1
not 5-1

Good one Top2....Yeah the dreaded placepot killed me.....Being doing them for 30 Years Biggest Mugs Bet On The Planet.Take my advice lads steer well fakin clear......Been doing them for 30 plus Years i know what i am talking about.

good advice acey blue moon bets ........!

I got addicted to them Foyle there was no hope for me after that....The Crack Cocaine of Gambling.

baloney

never been any hope for you acey dopey

crack cocaine isnt that clever and i dunno why anyone uses it as an exemplar of something irresistible

ppots are not worth doing when there are millions of runners

when the fields are limited they most certainly are, particularly if theres a load of n/rs. which is why you do them late. although im usually too late and it always pays a chunk when i miss em

Get it all back on Chasserol in last at Newbury :)

mitolo & acey deucy -- time to re-read Nevo's book, whose subtitle should have been How to Win Loads in Singles then Give It All Back Chasing Miracle Bets on the Tote.

not many winners at ascot but some big pried ew /placers kept me afloat .

Ramruma.
Getting  away for a few days to a lovely  cottage Hot tub sauna and log burner just picked a book  to take would you believe  one of Nevos.

Both yards were running like dogs there. Will be on fire at a certain stage in the season

ronnie rails -- say what you like about Nevo, he chose a good ghostwriter in David Ashforth.

Though it is a bit ironic you have booked a sauna in the week of our heatwave. Enjoy!

Thought he did already

Could England play any worse against Slovenia tonight than they did against Denmark? I hope not. England have been disappointing so far in Euro 2024.

Down to 1.35 now.  The win will give them the best route to the final, should they start becoming a very good team.

dunno what makes you think i read it in the first place

ppots in small-fields meetings are one of the few things in racing that are profitable. sadly much less so now everything goes into the pools. they arent miracle bets either. eminently gettable in fact

Yeah, 4 or 5 runner fields usually in the Newton Abbot's of this world on a bank holiday, stick all the runners in a race in and hope for the rag to win or when a fav is taken out and the replacement fav gets all the money and gets beat in a 4 runner race getting, in effect two out for the price of one...how often does it really happen though?

happened 2 weeks ago and paid 5k

nobhead here wasnt up in time or id have got it up several times because i stick em all in when the fields are very small

first race at Salisbury a classic example. 5 runners, 2/5 fav. 2nd favourite withdrawn. Win only. Original 3rd favourite wins. Well over 90% of pool gone in one race

qed

yep. Sadly I normally try to add a rag when there is such a race precisely in case that happens. Not today :-(

Any good fings the day acey

Whit did ya day that fur?

Ull never hang up them booties

Not had a placepot since Royal Ascot like i keep saying Mugs Bet......Took me over 30 Years to realise.... Am starting to look at Lucky 15s and each way Yankees though.....Any advice anybody?

Rico needs a full time housekeeper

What firm is best for those type of bets?

I do a Lucky 15  in a Jennings bet shop with treble odds 1 winner and best odds guaranteed ( With a £2 capped unit stake)

Second again.
We had a firm in the North  East  who were  going to take the world on went 4 times a winner in the lucky bets.
Lasted less than a year.
Hope you are well.
Ronnie.

Thanks second i will look them up.

lucky bets and Yankees and plscepots. Mug bets

Ronnie,There was one here a few years ago  who went 1/4 the odds all races, a couple of EW thieves cherrypicked there for a few weeks till the white flag was raised.I hope you are keeping well ,how many hours are you working now?

SA.
PLENTY.
Still enjoying  it.
Looking  forward  to a nice weekend  at a lovely  city  and the best racecourse  in the country  next weekend.
