Why is the bookie holding the ticket not the backer?
|
|
By:
That has to be JP's bet for himself and his cronies. His charges could receive more than £100k being placed alone. However, I'd not have placed the amount on I Am Maximus. Similarly, Panic Attack. Both are not for me.

£100k is a little for someone who's a few £Bn. Where is the bookie who lay him the £100k bet? I hope he's managing his position as a businessman.

Nyrne paid over a quarter of a million recently to acquire a pitch at Cheltenham.
Been an expensive month or so. |

... Paul Byrnes pitch trading under Fitzwilliam.
The "whopper", as Johnny Dineen christened it, was an astonishing £100,000 bet on I Am Maximus at 8-1 with Fitzwilliam. It was the talk of the town, and the press room, and the betting ring, and all the bars, and even the urinals in the men's bog as an elderly gentleman leaned in uncomfortably close to me as we relieved ourselves and wondered if it were true. "It's just a publicity stunt," he reckoned. Well, let's find out. |

All the short prices horses contract just before the off so it was easy to lay off that bet,the damage for them was the avalanche of money on the fav just before the off.

Not sure what you mean Punch ? Dineen was talking about having to lay some off this morning on ITV, not sure many folk thought that was going to get bigger in price.

By:
Glasgow,he had enough time to get rid of whatever he didn't fancy,the big money arrived in the last few minutes,he layed that big bet (if it was real) at about 1pm so 2 hours 30 mins + to lay off.
I saw a short interview after the race with the layer and the late money killed them and not the 100K bet |

|
By:
All I know is Dineen showed the bet on ITV this morning ( 10 oclock ), he then says he will have to lay a fair bit off. Maybe he did hedge some off but I dont think the horse went any bigger on course. ??

By:
"No, absolutely not. It wasn't a publicity stunt," said Paul Byrne, the owner of Fitzwilliam. "The bet was laid. I thought it looked a good opportunity to lay at 8-1 and back it back at 9-1 or bigger to make an earn on the bet. At the time we laid the bet, he was 9-1 on the exchanges for good money. We took £18,000 at 9-1 and another £22,000 at a little over 8-1. After that, we decided to wait to move the rest."

Didn't know it was allegedly struck the day before as ITV and their social media led you to believe it was on the track on the day.
|
|
By:
dineen was showing the bet on fri afternoon.
|
|
By:
Well ITV " opening show " this morning showed it so the social media got it wrong.

Not sure why I am bothered tbh mine unshipped the jockey at the first fence.

Was it wise to flash the barcode on the screen

By:
Opening Show did not show it -it was shown at about 12.57 on ITV racing .
As for the bar code, if Joe Soap turned up with a copy, I can't see him being given £900 000 in tenners. |

MANOLEEDS ... Are you on drugs !! Why would I say I saw something that never happened. I tuned into the Opening show (itv4 ) at about 9-45 and Dineen was on showing the slip. |
|
By:
Probably a BS publicity stunt. I was backing I Am Maximus with conventional bookies for past few weeks and getting 6/1, 13/2, 7/1; standout price was 15/2 with BFS on Friday night. I never saw opportunities to lay off on the exchange before the race or in running. Has anybody got the market graph for the past two or four weeks?
|
|
By:
By BS I mean a price that never available to you or me, in recent times.
|
|
By:
Apologies MANOLEEDS, just watched back. I was sure it was on earlier.
 |
|
By:
Glasgowcalling . I've got the Opening Show on record from yesterday and it's not there . At about 09.45 Ruby, McCoy and Oli are chatting .
Dineen doesn't even appear on the show. It wasn't Friday's show was it? |

Johnny Dineen was talking to Brian Gleeson on ITV1 just before i posted this thread.
