Hi Suds
That looks like a decent enough shout to get you over the 400 point mark this year and as a total novice punter last year it was a cracking first effort. To date the record points total for our members is held by Rob (Robmull) who hit 601.31 points with GeeSport and myself hitting 534.64 and 563.66 respectively a decent points total is achievable. We will do the same as last year and wait to see who else enters before finalising the lines.
For those who have not played before it costs members nothing to enter and you will receive a minimum of 40% of any prize money that your line wins with a 10% share going to the site and and even share going to all the other lines entered. There will hopefully be the usual monthly prizes of around the £5,000 mark and the the overall prize total at the end of the competition has been known to go over the £100,000. But the prize money is determined by the amount of entries and we will let you know when the prize fund is published. Please remember you will going up against professional tiptsers in this competition but a few years ago we did manage a finishing position of 484 out of 58,845 entries, so who knows. 🙂

Hi
The competition ended up a no score draw again but we were so unlucky this weekend. 🙁
MIL Bucks -5.5 to beat the NY Knicks MIL Bucks won by 5 (Lost by 1/2 point)
Wetherby 1.50 Luccia @ 2-1 (Lost on run in came second)
Wetherby 3.00 Bravemansgame @ 8-11 (Well in control until blundering last fence came second)
West Ham to draw or win against Brentford @ 4-5 (West Ham winning well into second half but lost)
Man United to beat Fulham @ 6-5 Won
MIA Dolphins v KC Chiefs total points be under 50.5 @ 5-6 Won
I can feel we are knocking on the door over the last few attempts and it is only a matter of time. 🙂

Hi
A Tad unlucky with Showman losing by a short head 🙁 but the place return was something :). Pride Of Place was the best return of the day +4 points, but with Winning Smut grabbing fifth when we needed fourth etc we ended up losing 1.6 points on the day.
There will be nothing until Tuesday on this thread but there are lots of other threads on the go at present.

[Mike]

Hi
Just seen the each way market for the 11.50 so will take the 25-1 for 9 places on Pride Of Place.
I will try and update the others when I get home. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
We have a hatful of options over at Cork today which are as follows
11.50 Wandering Rocks @ 11-2
11.50 Pride Of Place 200-1
12.20 Winning Smut @ 6-1 for 4 places
12.55 Showman @ 7-1 for 4 places
1.30 Jetaway To Getaway 100-1 but we have gone with 20-1 for 10 places
2.05 Pinion Joy 9-1
3.50 Enae Baie @ 16-1 for 6 places
The value for the shorter priced horses probably lay in each way doubles but that as always is a personal choice.
We are still awaiting the extra markets for some of the races but have posted now as the first race starts early than usual. We will try and update around 11am if at all possible. 🙂

Hi
It was another so so day yesterday with Missus Beeton and Destivelle both placing but Phils Choice put in a none to clever round of jumping and let the side down.
We will be back on Sunday for the usual Irish Racing at Cork but will also be going in with a few runners taken from our Ten To Follow competition entries which can be found on the link.

Hi
We have managed to pick out our early doors November line which is unlikely to win us any money but after last years claim to fame and getting montioned in the Racing Post we just have to see if we can get lightning to strike twice. https://www.racingpost.com/news/protektorat-pushes-team-without-star-players-to-top-of-ten-to-follow-table/589378  🙂

Hi Suds
I am hoping for a few other participants this week but we will see how it goes, I see you are going with one of the Ten To Follow selections so I will take a look at the 3.15 which has both Bravemansgame and Ahoy Senor in it.
The NFL selctions and NBA selctions have been doing well for us so far and one of the better mixed sport selections a fortnight ago proved a success but the golf bets have been optimistic so I will drop those away for now. 🙁
England +13 to beat South Africa @ 1-1 Won
Man City to beat Brighton + BTTS @ 6-4 Won
Kansas City Chiefs -5 to beat LA Chargers @ 20-23 Won
Satoshi Kodaira to win The ZOZO Championship @ 33-1
MIL Bucks -5 to beat MEM Grizzlies @ 10-11 Won
4.56 Limerick Knocknagappagh @ 11-1 Non Runner
I will fill in the blanks after 9pm as usual tonight when everyone has had a chance to post.

Hi
Apologies for late post but Ten To Follow competition is now taking up a lot of research time. 🫤
We are heading to Thurles today for the following horses.
2.05 Missus Beeton @ 13-2
2.40 Destivelle @ 9-2 for 5 place’s
3.15 Phil’s Choice @ 10-1 for 5 place’s
3.50 Tom Kelly @ 18-1
Sam Magee is an option in the 3.50 but I would be looking to back without the favourite in this race if possible. 👍

[Mike]

Hi
It’s that time again for this seasons National Hunt TTF and if anyone is interested in joining in please let me know a.s.a.p. The competition starts on the 18th November and I will post the shortlist by weekend. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Mixed fortunes again with Late Vocation coming fourth when we needed third which was closely followed by Theonewedreamof coming second just failing to snatch the win at the death. Which means we dropped half a point on the day so it could have been worse.
There is unfortunately no racing until Thurles on Thursday assuming the weather gets no worse. However we are having a bit of fun over on the Competitions page on the Joes dream punt thread for those who want to join in.

[Mike]

Hi
Another mixed bag that looked like being a great day after the first three races with Biggerthanbigtime 15-1 and Makaela’s Choice 28-1 both placing in third for nice place returns then Waterford Whisperers won at 11-2 and I thought the gods were with us. 🙂 However it all went downhill after that and although coming out a few points up it was dissapointing on the day. 🙁
Todays action has all but been washed out by the weather but we still have two going assuming Galway goes ahead as Wexford has already been abandoned.
12.41 Late Vocation @ 12-1
4.10 Theonewedreamof @ 12-1 for 5 places

[Mike]

Hi
A tad unlucky today with Sayitfirst 9-1 (BOG) placing having just been mugged on the line for the win. Charming Fortune won (BOG) 9-2 but was in a double with Old Chap who approached the last hurdle in second but unfortunately went wrong and quickly pulled up.
We are hoping to do a little better tomorrow over at Galway
1.57 Biggerthanbigtime 33-1 but we have taken the 15-1 for 6 places
2.32 Makaela’s Choice 50-1 but we gone with 28-1 for 5 places
4.17 Jay Jay Zee @ 20-1 for 4 places
The following will be done as each way doubles
3.07 Waterford Whispers @ 11-2
4.17 Lord Snootie @ 6-1 for 4 places
4.52 Knocknaggapah @ 9-1 for 5 places
