Not Backing doesn't translate to Laying it,Rico

Might be different in Ireland but in GB there has been a big shift from online back to on course betting according to bookies. Largely driven by affordability checks. It can only be the big hitters as a day racing costs £40 before you start betting. And typical SPs are at least 10% below exchange win odds.

irons..
if ewe bet genuine value over time ewe win if you lay bad value over time ewe win. if iyo 1/7 isnt 'value' then it mussed be bad value shirley? |
|
By:
As I haven't seen it School how would I know what was value?
Incidentally,five years ago this type of horse would have been 1/3,now any price that gets put up is taken. 1.03 a JP horse pre off today ![]() |
|
By:
Irons has the game by the provibal's, Rico. So if you'd had seen it school really well at home and it was still 1/7 on it's chase debut would this then be a value price?
|
|
By:
That's it jim....used to love going through those
|
|
By:
The winner was a 140 Hurdler making its Chase debut so hardly a mug so the answer would have been no,mr smarty,WP.
|
|
By:
Horatio out at the minute but later will post the overounds that day there quite interesting.
|
|
By:
I bet they are jim....thank you
|
|
By:
And you didn't consider the winner to be a value price to back then?
|
|
By:
I would not back a Chase debutant at 1/7 under any circumstances,WP.
It is as simple as that and,as I pointed out earlier.that doesn't make me a Layer. There are plenty of races I am happy to swerve |
|
By:
its simple enuff...if its bar a fall 1/7 to jump 10 fences and not to go lame is preceived as value then lump on.
|
|
By:
It clearly wasn't bar a fall as you put it,Rico,was it.
|
|
By:
fck nahs..never looked at race and didnt see it..im just meaning in general.
|
|
By:
Fair enough Irons, just interested in your pre race methods in this type of race
|
|
By:
Overounds Horatio that day
Race one 7 runners 108.8 Race two 12 runners 118.8 Race three 7 runners 111.91 Race four 26 runners 138.48 Race five 18 runners 133.39 Race six 5 runners 110.48 Race seven 18 runners 150.45 It was by race 5 the dettori situation kicked in the only one of his rides I backed that day was fatefully at 7/1 in the morning pretty sure it would still be around that price as race 4 was been run then returned 7/4 |
|
By:
Thank you jim...Unreal figures.
The owner of my Dads local won approx £150k in a Frankie acca on the day.....unfortunately he drank himself to death within 2 years ![]() Some day |
|
By:
It was a great day horatio even on the Sunday there was a real buzz around the racecourse he rode one called sunbeam dance in the first it seemed almost everyone on course was hoping it would win,
I remember on the Saturday I had no interest in the last two races and was going to leave early but because of what was happening I stayed thankfully |
|
By:
What a way to go for the pub owner although you would have hoped he got a few mores years to spend his winnings
|
|
By:
Very true.....Glad you had a fantastic couple of days....one you won't forget that is for sure

Just realised what you mean Penzance thought you was getting the thread mixed up with the constitution hill thread |
|
By:
Forgot you can't say that name on here.

By:
Yes the other one must have contacted betfair a few years ago last night he was on rtv proving he understood absolutely nothing about betting

An utterly clueless,cravat wearing chancer

By:
I don’t know if you saw it irons but the other one I forget his name was even worse regarding the real world of betting I seriously wonder if either actually ever have a bet.

By:
There’s another comedian on sky sports racing now Sean boyce talking about the fighting fifth he can’t wait to see the race and just hopes the big three get there ,how disrespectful to the current champion hurdler however there every chance he isn’t aware of that fact so maybe he isn’t been disrespectful.
