Toe The Line 6.55 Fillies Maiden She is actually a mare and a bumper winner in Listowel,she was ridden by Derek OConnor that day so as usual came from miles off the pace,this is his preferred way of riding and even more so the septuagenarian John Kiely. Its also the way Fran Berry likes to ride. We have a five year old bumper horse taking on flat horses,Go Gentle and Well Hello. Well Hello finished a mile behind Toe The Line in Gowran but she also finished a mile behind Madam Mo in Tipperary,when they clashed in Sligo Well Hello was an unlucky loser,she lost her action on the bend passing the stands and didnt corner,she still nearly made all. Go Gentle could be a late developing Dylan Thomas filly,only four so loads more scope for improvement.
I can see Well Hello going from the front and not being caught with maybe a few lads complaining about Toe The Line being held too far off the pace.
Sadlers Risk 8.25 Beginners Chase. Usually poor races for layers but here we have a flat bred horse in his first chase. He has only ever won one jumping race,his high rating seems merited on some decent runs in good company most notably at Punchestown but he doesn't win near enough for me and might not be a natural jumper,jockey no longer a plus.
Forever Gold 8.55 Handicap Chase. Bad race I accept but this fellow is crazy short,he has never won a race of any description. His current price is based on his second to Easy Vic at Leopardstown,ground was a lot better that day than people realised,its been raining in Roscommon might be slowish ground that's against,is off a six pound higher mark.
I backed Sadler Risk WMFB. Busty Brown definitely needs to get his toe in(I wouldn't be surprised if he was pulled out again), and the rest are a poor lot. De Bromhead very rarely sends one out unprepared for the task at hand. Granted they are usually more bred for the job than this lad, but I still wouldn't think he would go the chasing route if he wasn't showing an aptitude for it in schooling.

Busty Brown should run as there will be cut in the ground. Silk Hall one that could run well at a big price.
Its a fair point about Henry De Bromhead,a real good trainer in my eyes.

Andrew Lynch is having a very poor season JR(open to correction but operating at about 7% for last couple of hundred rides) and his outside rides are greatly limited compared to a couple of years ago.He will be fortunate to hold on to his retainer. Best of luck Wildman,hope you get out but tomorrow is another day.

De Bromhead's horse's haven't been right all year Dj....and a lot of them want decent ground...starting to hit a bit of form now though....might be worth following for a while.
Andrew's retainer is rock solid tbh.

Why did Russell ride Grand Jesture at Fairyhouse in January for Potts when Lynch rode at the meeting?It has not happened since and obviously different styles suit different horses but I still thought it was unusual JR.

It was Andrew's suggestion Dj...he thought a change of rider might do the horse good,think Andrew finished second on him a few times......one of the reasons why his retainer is safe....Potts and his Wife think the world of him.

Would have got it back laying that Torcello in Suffolk Downs only for that dreadful sound of a bucket hitting brick.
I genuinely hope no one was put off those winners by my flawed reasoning.
How do bookies survive in Irish racing?

Fair play to Wildman worried people may have put people off a horse that won at 11/8 after being a morning price of 11/4, hmm don't think there is any need to be worried about that one Wildman !

Well done Gutfeeling and Callit. After a golf bet that lasted 30 seconds and two shorties well stuffed yesterday,afraid of my life to open my mouth today,hope the damage isn,t that bad Wildman but think it is. Disappointing reactions by a few people on here,not really conducive for anyone to put their thoughts up on the forum.

Bad day WMFB, hopefully tomorrow brings you better luck. Unlike a few on here, you state your intention before an event, unfortunately it leaves you open to ridicule by a few gobsh*tes.
Give me a man who has an opinion and the balls to back it, over a lifeless lemming any day.
Gutfeeling, yeah had a good bet on. Backed it at 11-8 earlier, so couldn't resist the 3.1 and then 5-2. It was as good as over bar a fall after 3 fences. Buster made a poor shape at most, and I doubt he will progress. Saddlers still seemed to hurdle a few though, being quick enough over them, but dangerously low at some. A stiffer track may cause problems, until he adapts. De Bromhead no doubt will work on it.

I would prefer to make these comments on another thread because I can genuinely say that I take absolutely no satisfaction from any punter losing money and I am leaving myself open to comments such as being robotic and opportunistic point scoring.
I would definitely dispute the logic of turns of phrases such as "betting like men" and "the balls to back it",in my opinion over staking and punting on tilt are the the most commonly repeated punting errors. Stake management,discipline and temperament are completely underestimated on here. Stake management based on how much you are behind on the day and increasing your stake because it's the last race is nonsensical,at that moment in time your value in that stake is minimal compared to the cold light of day.
I would also suggest that on average the aggregate net cost of not trading out of distinct winning positions (sports betting I am predominately referring to here because racing in running is completely unpractical for the vast majority with extreme time delays) exceeds its implied monetary value,obviously you would only not trade out if you believe the odds exceed the probability but I think their has to be a fairly wide discrepancy to justify not trading out at short prices (this obviously varies according to individual temperament).

I never mentioned over staking Dj, or if I did or not. I would be very disciplined, but having considered the horse a good bet at 11-8, I had to go in again at the inflated odds. That it was near the end of the day was of little relevance.
On trading out, over time I have judged that I have lost more than gained having traded out of promising positions. So I took the view that I would stop. On the odd occasion, I have still chosen to 'get out', generally in an out of play market, where I have time to consider everything and now think my selection to be a bad price.
I never bet more than I can afford to lose, don't go all in, so have decided that unless something jumps out as being the wrong price midway through an event(which is rare, as if you considered it overpriced at the start, it generally remains that in ones mindset), I will let the bet ride, and what will be will be. It has its downfalls, but it also has its upside. Personally I think when trading out, say in a golf market, which wouldn't have the liquidity of a football match, you are taking what's on offer, what someone else is more than happy to back/lay at. Usually a bad price.

You picked up on some comments there callitasucit in which I was not at all referring to you such as the last race,I was referring to Borneo increasing his stake to an all in on the last race even though he had recognised that it was a weak race. The motivation of the increased stake was due to the daily losses and not at all related to a level of confidence in the lay.
Obviously with trading out I would be referring to liquid markets.My point was the cost of not trading out at a short price (if it subsequently gets turned over) can still unfortunately have a disproportionate effect on future trades. My point although odds are subjective,if I felt an outcome should be roughly 1.2 I would probably still trade out at 1.25 (over generalised/simplified)because the margin is so minimal that even over a larger sample size of say 50 five tick sacrifices (represents turnover not profit).Your net edge on all those trade outs is surely going to be extremely minimal and would actually be a net cost if an extremely in running low defeat impacts your future trades( frame of mind for the rest of the day.

So you backed them so tobywong? No contribution whatsoever to the thread before the races were run,a pure lack of class from you to be informing everyone at this stage.

Can only see one person that went against one selection myself and his reaction before/after had a fair bit of grace, Huddys is right,the rest of the thread is aftertiming and badness.

Whatever way you want Tobywong. Dj876 you are obviously right but easy enough to go on "tilt" mode as well,seldom happens but did yesterday to me. Fancied Cloudy Rock well beat, no probs though had a decent bet,watching the golf,,sky gave Derksen as having a birdie put when in fact it was for par,not a big bet but p1ssed me off,went to get out on it on Richard Green, he was sauntering along until a triple bogey on 15 and beat in a play off.Head was fried and had a bet to get out on Maninero,he didn't raise a gallop and in all likelyhood probably wouldn,t have done him at the odds on a "normal" day.

I have nothing to apologise for, I agree with what Huddy's is saying,you are saying that people are taking pleasure especially if they backed them, only one beforehand fancied one selection, so really don,t get what you are trying to say.

It is a poor effort to put up three lays watch two of them dance in and the final one struggle for a bit but still win.
I got it all wrong but Callitasucit backed and then correctly hardened on Sadlers Risk,Gutfeeling tipped up Cliff House so the thread isint all bad.
There is plenty to learn from this not just to back my lays but as DJ876 says treat each race on its own and don't allow previous successes or failures influence your betting.
I actually lost small money on Sadlers Risk,he was 5/4 when I nominated him as a lay ,his drift was stark and worrying out to 3.9 at one stage but when he won I looked on it as a bullet dodged and certainly overdid the laying on Forever Gold.
Betfair are layer friendly because they know they run out of them,they will always have the lads laying dead ones and they hate them but the genuine layers all seemed to get cleaned. Part of the reason for this is no cash changing hands,it never seems like real money,you just have a figure in the top right hand side that goes up and down.

Wildman, your general laying experience here over the years has tended to be one disaster after another?
Finding weak favourites may be a good option but in my book offers better each-way or dutching opportunities.

Hilairious thread, there are posts on here that remind me about the final scenes from Trading places where the Duke brothers run around in a frantic manner shouting at people about the outrage of having lost all their money. Laying one horse in a field is madness in races where the overround is sometimes under 100% book then having to pay commission on your winnings means the vast vast majority will not make it pay. I think BF should be used to bet horses rather than lay them for the orsdinary Joe. This thread is right up there with Richters tipping up NY because he met a man in a toilet in Roscommon.
Finally Pa having a go at dj for slating the 'All in' attitude as not being wise is probably the stupidest post ever seen on here.

Apologies dj, had only skipped through the thread. Can totally see your point about the trading out, and if I did it for a living maybe I would be more cautious and use that approach. I still bet to win(betting for fun is pretty pointless), but not to the extent where a loss will have a detrimental effect on what I do going forward. So all in all I prefer to let it ride 95% of the time.
When I landed the transatlantic double with Coetzee and Walker earlier in the year, I traded a bit on Walker, as the potential win was much more than the normal payout, and it would have been foolish not to derive some benefit from the position.

just seeing this thread since wildman put up the 3 lays.he gave sound logical reasons for laying them and that should be commended.i actually laid the last winner myself as it was a stupidly short price.it won as it happened but struggled to do so.your on hiding to nothing putting up opinions here because a few will slate you if you get it wrong.as a result all the forunm has decended into is a slagging place for a few immature low lifes.i never seen carrot60 on here before.and he comes up with a crass post asking wildman for tips for sligo?perhaps carrot you could offer a few yourself before being so smart ot a guy genuinely trying to promote debate and intrest.i can guarantee if the 3 he put up all got beat there wouldnt be half as many posts..

You could put up logical reasons for taking a position in say a rugby/soccer market on here and still be savaged if you lose; don;t see why it should be any different with horse racing.

The last one was unfortunate Wildman but I can't understand the all in lay on it , in that instance I would have been reducing my lay rather than increasing it , maybe as I certainly have learned the live to fight another day attitude from past experiences.
Interesting points on position from callit , I tend to trade from a winning position a lot as I tend to always want a buffer if things go pear shaped, it's the main reason I use this site , but I must begin to take account of the "what if" situations in the future.
