Hi
There is no racing for us for a few days now so we will update the thread now. If You Believe won for a profit of +10.80 but Ruled By The Sun (who did hit 125-1) could only manage seventh so we dropped 2 points on the other two bets.
This takes us back up to +117.25 which lets us breath a sigh of relief after last weeks debacle.
Hi
We have a strange horse running today which is not a to follow horse but has some interest for us as it ties in with an idea we are working on for our swansong thread…lol.
2.42 Bath Royal Approval 35-1 but we have gone for a 1 point win only @ 75-1 on the betfair Exchange.
Now this break a few rules but it serves as an example of the exchanges (which we hope to dabble with later). The horse has shown some good speed over hurdles but achieved nothing however it was a three time winner on the flat for Andrew Balding (albeit on the AW) was then purchased and sent to Gordon Elliot to go hurdling which just did not work out.
The horse has now changed hands again is dropped in grade goes back on the flat at the same OR as he last won on but at 75-1 he is a shot to nothing at the price.
The horse is an each way extra horse (technically) and running in England on the flat and we have backed it to win so we have broken all the rules here but it’s my ball and if I want to be captain I can….lol.
Hi
Unsurprisingly (I suppose) the last bet went down but the next exchange bet we tried yesterday and posted on the Bletchley Park thread paid dividends so the idea is still alive.
We go into today on +116.25 and have a previous “To Follow” winner running and another running in England
Down Royal 2.05 Hopeful Hero 1/2 point each way @ 12-1 for 5 places
Ascot 3.43 Morning Mayhem 1/2 point each way @ 16-1 for 5 places
Hi
One non runner and missed a place by a short head so dropped a point today and we now stand at +115.25. We do however have an interesting couple of options tomorrow at Cork.
3.25 Banter At the Bar 7-1
This is a to follow horse but as it is going chasing so only counts as an extra markets option.
4.00 Sunrise Strider “To Follow” horse 1/2 point each way @ 66-1 for 6 places
4.00 Maixicourt 1/2 point each way @ 14-1 for 6 places
4.00 Nukie’s Artic 13-2
4.00 Crypto Crash 1/2 point each way @14-1 for 6 places
Apart from the early bets we will look for a bet builder option in the 4.00 and an option in the 3.25.
Hi
Banter At the Bar is already a non runner and although we have taken 30-1 on all four of our selections for a top 10 finish in the 4.00 as our bet builder. That is likely to have deductions but it will be an interesting race to watch and there is now a 25% boost for the bet builder if more than three runners stay in the race.
Hi
We had a nice win with Crypto Crash which saved the day and gave us a +6.40 total for the day and took the running total to +121.65. This means we have a little bit of leeway and look likely to come out in profit again this year. We have a few going at Fairyhouse tomorrow which are as follows.
12.55 Urbs Intacta Manet 6-1
2.30 Goin’ (“To Follow” horse) 2 points each way @ 11-2 for 5 places.
4.04 Accustomed
4.04 Princess Felicia
4.04 Mickey Cohen
We will look for a bet builder option etc when the extra markets are published.
Hi
By using the 25% three selection bonus with bet365 we can get 6.75-1 for our bet builder on all three of our runners finishing in the top 6 in the 4.04 at Fairyhouse and are happy to go with that.
