****Humbugs Nov/Dec Team Tipster Thread****

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

Skipper
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

Done  Monte  Cavallo  2.30  Sandown

G/L  Team
please bush  let  us  be lucky

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         

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.

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

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.

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       

Sorry. Missed that twm has at least got us off the mark with a 2nd at Lingers.

yyiippeeeeeeee  W/D  Deep  I

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         

Great Effort lads ' ' ' ' well done to the Team

Very Good season you had us sweating this afternoon

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.

salmon spray 08 Dec 12 16:28 
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

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

THEY follow you in twm.

Top  scorers  and still  lost 
my own form opofo

Many thanks  salmon for having  me   in  your team
its been great  fun


p.s
you are skipper for life

unlucky lads, great effort, keep it going SS, you cant retire until we win the crown back

Thanks chaps.
Might be here till 2024 though.
I'll say something tomorrow. I DO wonder if we need a change.

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.

ttt.
Anybody ?

No  body  here

sorry  SKIPPER

I am quite serious.
I really think somebody else might bring a fresh approach.
Please think about it. If nobody has come forward by the New Year I will carry on but I'm not sure how long for.

I definitely wont volunteer.
I havent got the time to sort myself out most of the time let alone the rest of you!

work means i'm not here most saturdays, so would be hard for me to make sure everyone posts.

OK.
At least I got a few replies.
I'll carry on until somebody else wants it or I obviously get too senile.
BUT I will insist that people put their selections on here. It`s a NIGHTMARE on Sats trying to see if people have posted earlier in the week if Lampus and I happen to have missed it.
And a bit more banter along the lines of the Thieves thread would make me feel a bit less like I am addressing a void.
Thanks Humbugs       

Many thanks salmon  for staying as captain
we would be finless  without you

thanks SS, hopefully next year will be a good one for us

Well Done Salmon, come Jan you'll be chomping at the bit again . If you analysed the banter in the Thieves thread I'm sure you'd find most of it is the hard work of our captain. You do a grand job imo

14  Days for Boxing  Day


Happy  Wednesday  Skipper
Have a great Thursday
and   a  good  Friday

Good  Luck  all  and salmon

It's going to be flooded isn't it.

O.K  for you salmon

Funnily enough it's been absolutely sheeting it down here for hours. The rain was supposed to be coming in from the west which is why I assumed Cheltenham could be in trouble.
Cheltenham is west to me of course.

Be  a  dark  day  in  my  box
if Emeebee  wins the first at towcester

yyyiippeeeeeeeeeeee
laid in running as well

Not laying anything there today. Very few have run uphill all the way round on heavy.

Good   morning  all
hope everyone is fit and  well

You  still  here  salmon
or have you  gone to Cheltenham

I'm definitely not here at 6.45AM.

Lets hope we  are all  still  here  after  the  3.40  race

Just had a Christmas  card from  Betfair
thou it says Happy  Holidays

Last month got a Timeform  horse s  to  follow  book  from  betfair
now a Christmas card

are  they making  eyes  at  me

They want your munee imo       

Laid Bathcountry at 50   against Puffin  Billy
LaidAct  of  Kalanisi 9-10  and Sulpius  44 and 20  Against  Simonsig

Christmas  have come   early

yahp  daab  doooooooooooooooo

I would have risked Sulpius but I would have been worried that everything else was going to fall. As it happens i was out having bought myself a new car for Xmas       
Well nobody else will       

Happy  motoring    my  good  fish 

I'm told these Austin Allegros are the REAL thing. Couldn't get one in brown though       

Salmon
How do you  do your U.S.A  lays
form  of just lay the outsiders

Just lay the outsiders.
I'm getting a bit more sophisticated. The Exacta price on course is actually a better guide than the Win price. I try to lay about 5 mins before the off. Get it right about 80% of the time in that they go off longer.
I THINK there's one guy who plonks large bets on complete outsiders for no apparent reason from time to time. That's worth taking a bit of.

Thanks

Did you get your Christmas   card   from  betfair salmon

Nope.

merry xmas humbugs

Yes indeed.
Merry Xmas Humbugs.
New thread coming when ud announces the rules for next year.

Merry Christmas  Humbugs

Do your rich childless aunts always die on Boxing Dday Lampus ?
Hmmmm said Plod.

Nearly had a heart attack  with  my  lay

profit is profit

W/D salmon  with  your  nap

You were a bit lucky Lampus. I nearly layed it myself but my gut told me there were safer races. Surprisingly it looked good enough but didn't stay in those conditions,which tbf to you was always likely.

Simonsig  running  tomorrow
which means should be able
to find a 25-1 plus  lay

yyiippeeeeee

That's my nap sorted.
Thank you Lampus.

Laid  Royales  Charter  and  Wings of  Smoke

Thank  you  Simonsig

Too short for me         

Top  class  racing  over  the  Cornish sea  tomorrow
more 25-1 plus  lays please  yippeeeeeeee

Yep.2 decent meetings in Ireland. 4 awful ones in GB.

Good  luck to  our  skipper  in  his  for ever  battle
