sorry team mates dreadful choice
![]() hopefully you can pull it out the bag |

We're having a bit of a disastrous last round the dealer.
But lampus has a 33-1 cert lined up. If I can find a 1-5 shot to back it up that might just be enough ![]() |

Tingle Creek will win at Sandown
might go off at 50-1 ![]() |

Before that we have to win this bloody league thing.
Any ideas anybody ? ![]() |
|
By:
How about tipping 3 33-1 winners
would that help |
|
By:
Comrade
Its not the winning that matters but taking part as a team |
|
By:
I prefer your penultimate post to your last one Lampus.
We are having a 'mare. 11 selections so far and nul points ![]() We also have two further problems. I have no idea whether barney will turn up or not. Also with Wolves transferred to Lingfield there is NO EVENING RACING on Sat. I hope and presume twm is aware of this. |

Do we still need a 20-1 shot or has the target got bigger Waiting for you orders yours pled comrade Mao jr |
|
By:
Right. The table hasn't been updated yet but as far as I can gather the Thieves haven't been doing well this week so they may not win this round. Therefore although it would not be a good idea to go for 1-12 shots you don't need to look for 25-1 shots either though one would be very welcome. Anything below about 8-1 should be straight win though imo.
THERE IS NO EVENING RACING. So I will be sticking rigidly to a CUT-OFF TIME FOR SELECTIONS OF 1.30 If anybody has a wildcard to play after 2.30 please put it on this thread and I will stick it up if necessary. |
|
By:
All the best teammates
|
|
By:
If EVERYBODY who reads this and is in the team could put up a possible wildcard running after 2.30 it would be very helpful. If we need one and I have 2 or 3 to pick from I can try and make sense of the table at that point and go for one that's an appropriate price.
|
|
By:
Ok well I would have put up Paphos EW at Lingers as cant really see it being out of the places but
I see nowt under around 8-1 is wanted EW so I have done Perfect Shot EW in the 1310. If a wild card is needed my choices would be: 14:50 Ermyn Flyer EW 15:25 Silly Billy win or Chandrayaan EW |
|
By:
Thank you twm. My apologies if Paphos wins,but we might as well go down.
Possible wildcards could be very useful.I just don't know whether barney will show up. I presume he is still moving sooner or later. But all selections MUST BE IN BY 1.30 |

The thieves done theone i was going to do they done it E.W Big fella Thanks so i might as well look elswhere yes/no |
|
By:
Done Monte Cavallo 2.30 Sandown
G/L Team please bush let us be lucky |
|
By:
Right choice Lampus. No point in matching them,we have to outscore them.
I'm just off to make sure they haven't already pinched mine ![]() |
|
By:
This is getting complicated. My choice was going to be in the same race as Lampus` but both of us might need winners so I shall oppose his original choice instead
![]() 2.10 Aintree - West End Rocker. I HAD put it up last night in the Big Race comp. Just Deep I and barney(ee) to turn up. We have possible wildcards courtesy of twm if necessary. |
|
By:
My first choice pick was in the 2.10 @ Aintree & my second choice was in the 2.30 Sandown so I thought it best to avoid clashes so have plumped for Little Josh in the 3.20 @ Aintree - Good Luck Team
![]() |
|
By:
Thanks Deep I.
Sorry to beat you to it,but we can't really afford to waste what ammo we;ve got tbh. barney has another 20 mins. If no-show I'll have a proper look at the prices of twm's proposed wildcards. |
|
By:
I've probably got this horribly wrong but have gone for Chandrayaaan e/w in the last at Lingers as twm's wildcard pick.
Gone purely on prices as I wouldn't dream of second-guessing twm on the a/w. Sorry if you turn up barney but at this time of year people really have to post reasonably early. Good luck Buggies. Maybe we CAN pull this out of the fire ![]() |
|
By:
Sorry. Missed that twm has at least got us off the mark with a 2nd at Lingers.
|
|
By:
yyiippeeeeeeee W/D Deep I
|
|
By:
Yes. Full marks to Deep I.
Not enough I fear. I will sum up later but I am considering my position. Mr Abramovic is not happy ![]() |

By:
Great Effort lads ' ' ' ' well done to the Team
![]() Very Good season you had us sweating this afternoon |
|
By:
Wd to you and your team stewpot.
I am disappointed as I am sure are the other Humbugs but tbh I think you deserved it as you have the best team spirit. We are better than some teams but we've never got that vibe going that you lot have. |

Wd guys. No complaints from me. I envy the team spirit you have going tbh. Cheers Salmon, and as top scorers for season, not all doom and gloom in the Humbug household ![]() |

By:
Shocking my 14-1 EW shot at time of pick returns at 6-1!!

![]() my own form opofo ![]() Many thanks salmon for having me in your team its been great fun p.s you are skipper for life |
|
By:
unlucky lads, great effort, keep it going SS, you cant retire until we win the crown back
|
|
By:
Thanks chaps.
Might be here till 2024 though. I'll say something tomorrow. I DO wonder if we need a change. |
|
By:
Good effort team, although it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity imo. I don't feel we ever hit top gear (myself included) - we were clearly pretty consistent though so it's not all bad. I understand what our leader says about team spirit - I personally struggle to find much time for the forum these days (I used to post a lot on the ante-post forum but just put up my bets on the one thread over there now). Saturdays are my main betting day though & I keep an eye on things if we need a wildcard etc.
Humbugs will rise again in 2013 & Sir Salmon Spray must remain as Skipper ![]() Merry Christmas to all fellow Humbugs & see you in the New Year ![]() |

I have always known I have been captain since March 2008 when it was thrust upon me even though I was then the newest member of the team.
It struck me the other day that that is the best part of 5 years ![]() My feeling is that is probably long enough. I know we've done pretty well over the last 3 years but I'm not sure my heart is quite in it to the same extent that it was. So if anybody else wants the captaincy please speak up. |
