1.10 fairyhouse

just said i'd reply as i was feeling sorry you got no responce mate ...... while you've obviously breaking your balls on that 2 horse race i've been tackling something a little harder.... if you're interested i might put it up on here tomorrow  .....i noticed something that should pay off tomorrow .... night now pro punter ......

looks too hard a race to call me thinks! i think i will just keep it simple and do the rev. forecast

Slickster....Betting sounds right to me,i assume you are making Alavain favourite,might even bet tighter 4/5....11/10.

On the general point of the Tote,I think the time has long come for an overhaul of how its run . On track it is quite obvious it is overstaffed . Probably the same behind the scenes . As far as I know for meetings all over the country the track staff travel from Dublin with all its associated costs. I would suggest something along the lines of the Greyhound Racing Tote operation where staff at the tracks are recruited locally to cut down costs. Hopefully a new Government may instigate a review as the Tote only only appears to serve the interests of those working in the Tote.The cut being taken ensures no serious punter would bet with the Tote.

Tough and poor card, cba especially with Cheltenham on.

Tote staff are now sourced locally with each region having its own pool of staff. Problem with this is it leaves the toet with a limited number of properly trained personel who have great difficulty in processing the more complex accumalater type bets from my experience. No doubt the value with the tote has gone out the window and I see them leaning towards the use of bet jets to cut down on staff in future. One thing I found interesting last year from looking at aggragate figures for the race meetings was how well the western tracks faired out compared to the rest of the country, maybe less shrewd punters their who seem to think beting with the bookies is a 'dangerous'game!

wow that was easy....lot to be said for keeping it simple me thinks!!
