David Hyland

had a bet with him yesterday ....adrimal of the red ..everyone else going 11/4 davy went 3/1 ....always willing to back his opinion .....unlike some i could mention...

Hasnt been the same since marlo died.

seen him about 5 years ago going 6/4 on reisk superman at the easter meeting at fairyhouse when everyone else were going 5/6,it duly won very easy he took some money on that day,one of the last very few who will go on what he thinks,who were the guys on the phones who would back very big with him,and were are they gone havent seen them at the track for a good while

i could never forget when he went Evens Henrythenavigator in the Phoenix Stakes when everyone else went 1/2! got beat as well!

good god

?

man o'w - wasn't that the day it was bottomless. Think he was only laying evens to a deuce for certain customers.

huddy - I think that was mentioned here before - think it was mentioned they were putting on for the greyhound man. I remember one day they turned up at the Curragh after not been seen for a while. He saw them and roared out "thank god your back" brought a bit of a laugh from those standing near by.

he always seemed to go longer on AO'B horses but shorter on Bolgers. Anyone notice that?

Read somewhere he was the top wine buyer/importer (the good stuff) for hotels restaurants etc years ago. a bit of an expert.

Would certainly lay a bet don't think the brother would lay a score at 5's though.

not a very nice person,heard a fella from youghal won major money off him last week, any one know who that might be?

a fella or a group of fella's?

just one guy i think.

JD??

I won IR£21 off him one day at the Curragh - he wouldn't pay me the £1, insisting that we toss a coin for it, I lost and ended up down for the day

I never bet with him again after that

but he was probably going 11/10 each of two on the toss

who is j.d ???

john dineen

db1974

I'm sure Sigmund Freud would have been very inteested in your last post.I'd say he would be able to give you a very good analysis of the way your mind works[:(]

Must learn to proof read my posts.....interested!

never heard of him..

one of the biggest oncourse bookmakers and punters in england and ireland.

never saw any bookmaker by that name in punchestown,may be his gone skint???

mmmmmmmm.

"never heard of him.. " If you dont know who John Dineen is why would you post on something you obviously know nothing about..???

he's never been to Youghal [nap]

just because i dont know some fella called john dineen,should make no difference if i post on here eric,after all it is forum

he was at punchestown on friday anyway

Would have paid good money to see DB1974 tossing the coin that plunged him into the red,maybe Squigs will intervene and get it back for him.

A great friend of mine Pa Hogan swore by him and never bet with anyone else.He has since gone to God but ten years ago we all went to Roscommon races,all the favourites were winning and so were we,Hyland was under fierce pressure and couldnt pay us our winnings from the third last race.He took on the second last favourite for pounds shillings and pence,it duly won,so he now ploughed into the Bumper favourite and that too obliged.I sensed trouble none of us had collected off him and Pa had 5 winning bets and was owed around five thousand.A monster crowd gathered around his stall,Hyland was not around but i spotted him borrowing money from other bookies when he came back the crowd was huge.He started to pay the people but quickly ran dry a man from the Tote came out and gave him money,that ran out and the Tote man came back with more money this happened five times,we all got paid but because he knew Pa he left him til last,while we waited a Dundalk bookie passed by and said to us ...He will never get out of this one thats over sixty grand they have given him...it was now dark and about two hours after the last race Pa rejoined us crestfallen he had got nothing just a promise to pay at The Junction.We drove home with Pa looking worried we didnt help by telling him he had borrowed at least sixty thousand from the Tote.We all went to the Junction that Thursday where in fairness Hyland paid him causing Pa to say..I was never worried i knew he would never let me down.
Even before that day and ever since i have felt he is always a short head away from going bust.

What are you on about now?

Read DB1974 post of 12;49 its the funniest thing i have ever read,surely you can see the funny side of that post.

Yeah I thought it was alright, don't know I had my name dragged in with him. I quite like betting with Hyland.

Fair play to you Squigs at least you have a sense  of humour.

i remember been in clonmel about 10 or 12 yrs ago and going to davys pitch to get a couple of hundred off him ....the guy in front of me was due £42,000 and davy told him to hang on while he payed me my pittence ......

I'd say davy's satchel was well stuffed tonite.

couldnt imagine the ring been very busy tonight with bigs bets been struck

like last night huddys i say there wasen't a bet in naas ...although i heard bolgers was backed in the second.....

Great story Wildman

Neill d...That was not the only time it happened,it occurred in Kilbeggan and Galway as well around that time.Last year at Listowel a friend of mine was left with a winning docket of Dixie Daltons,he still has not been paid,how come The Tote did not come to his rescue.

Wildmanfromborneo is a man who specialises in hyperbola and hearsay

Mongoole...I think i said this before but i am glad i have stirred you from your peaceful slumber.

Wildman...My slumber is because i dont have any desire to get involved in storytelling and exaggeration. Now i shall return to my hibernation and wish you all the very best with your storytelling for the next year.

A sleeper for nine years suddenly activated this year,definitely a listener.Where is the exaggeration you complain of ? Something must have stirred you.

the wild mon sure knows his onions

Might know his Onions , but there is deffo a few more slants on this topic . Which Im sure he knows !

care to elaborate wixim??

onions are innately multi layered ...and..er.. i guess kinda slanted in a certain light...

sounds like robo is back as mongoole...?
