Hi
There has been a bit of a gamble going on with Forge Road in the 1.20 and he is now as low as 18-1 from 66-1 but we can still get 12-1 for 8 places with bet365 and 21-10 on Storm Mahler for 9 places.

Hi
Apologies for the last few days I have not been feeling so great. Kitty Galore ran a blinder under a big weight yesterday and once again led all the way to two out, but ran out of steam and was just pipped for fourth place close home. However, we have a hatful of selections at Listowel today.
1.20 Forge Road 66-1 and Storm Mahler 66-1 both will be for extra places when the markets open
2.30 Listentillitellyea @ 10-1 for 5 places
3.43 Marelly (was 25-1) we missed the gamble again on this one but have taken the 12-1 for 5 places and we have also taken Lily Of Dromond 40-1 but 17-1 for 10 places and 19-1 for 9 places.
4.53 Owl Creek Bridge @ 40-1 for 5 places
Owl Creek Bridge is available at 25-1 to 6 places with some firms but I beleive after a long lay off this one will either sink or swim today. Marelly is one of our horses to follow and was heavily backed last time before placing for us but again is an unknown quantity.

Hi
Balinaboola Steel is now a non runner so we have taken the 12-1 for 4 places on Kitty Galore. This run is over the bigger obstacles and she will be carrying a much bigger weight than last time. Therefore this is unlikely to be a runaway success like last time, but worth a punt all the same.

[Mike]

Hi
I am not feeling so good and am heading off early but will try and update the thread first thing tomorrow. 🙂 However both Balinaboola Steel 28-1 and Kitty Galore 11-1 (won for us last time out) are at present declared to run against each other in the 4.35 at Listowel. ??

Hi Joe
He is probably like Macilgoney the bugger will pop up at a big price when you least expect it. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Saddle In The Rain finished tenth which brought us a small profit on the day as our other bet Mont Saint Vincent ended up being a non runner.
The most annoying part of the day was in the 3.10 where we had a non runner Macilgoney won at 25-1 🙁
We have backed him at least four times ove the last four years and we missed him today. I suppose it only goes to prove every dog has his day. 🙂
We have nothing for tomorrow and I have an appointment which will last most of the day so it may be a quiet one on all the threads here for a day or two. ?

Hi
We have a couple of wagers for Listowel on Wednesday which are as follows

2.00 Saddle In The Rain 250-1 but available at 23-1 for 10 places and/or 29-1 for 9 places
3.10 Mont Saint Vincent @ 25-1 for 4 places with bet365

Now this a lesson in odds tonight (for me as well) Saddle In The Rain is 250-1 with a couple of firms but only 100-1 with bet365 who are the only firm offering the each way extra prices tonight. So the temptation is to take the 23-1 for 10 places tonight and wait to see what happens overnight before commiting to 9 places if they drift out tomorrow.
Mont Saint Vincent on the other hand is 25-1 with bet365 but 14-1 with all the other firms so we will go in straight away with bet365.

This next part is for JoeH. Balinaboola Steel also runs in the 3.10 at 25-1 but is available for 5 places with Skybet. Joe has done well with Balinaboola Steel on here in the past and will kill me if I don’t give the horse a mention. 🙂

Hi
Well that was a mixed bag in the 2.35 Rocco’s Inspiration finished fourth but Pull The Plug pulled up so we ended up a paltry +0.4 points up. In the 3.05 Rathnaleen Zoey also finished fourth and Emily In Paris lost so we ended up a slightly better +1.26 points up (after deductions). Then we got to Marelly who faded but hung on for sixth so with the extra place we picked up a +4 point profit. In the 5.05 we had our 100-1 shot Masterstonemason come third, but lost due to the smaller field.
This means we ended up on the day at only +3.66 points up . Now had we taken Masterstonemason as an each way extra we would have made a point or so more but I hope you understand why we just had to go for that one. 🙂
There is nothing on for tomorrow but we will be back on Wednesday (hopefully).

Hi
Of our other bets last night Bynx has become a non runner and unfortunately we missed the start of the gamble on Marelly but did manage to catch a bit of the 25-1 before it dissapeared. It is always annoying when this happens but I was busy watching Danny Willet miss a three foot putt to win our golf bet on the Other Sports bet thread. 🙁
I am a terror when this happens and having missed a price and just missed seen a win bet turn into a place return I should know the writing is on the wall for our Listowel wagers today but…. 🙂
Also at Listowel in the 2.35 where Bynx was a non runner there were two other possibilities Rocco’s Inspiration 50-1 but 17-1 for 8 places and Pull the Plug 200-1 but available at 25-1 for 9 places.

This means it is one of those rare days here where we could take a caning today but best of luck to all those who are having a dabble. This will be the last post today for obvious reasons until later tonight.

Hi
Ned The Smith duly finished sixth which means had you taken the early bet you would have come out +3.6 points or +4 points if you had the later price. Well done if you had both. 🙂
We have a couple of each way extras at Listowel tomorrow which are as follows
3.05 Rathnaleen Zoey 66-1 but 20-1 for 8 places and/or 25-1 for 7 places
3.05 Emily In Paris 50-1 but 17-1 for 8 places and/or 22-1 for 7 places
We also have a crazy 100-1 shot which is Masterstonemason in the 5.05 at Listowel. This one is not in the same class as the market leaders but both of those are having there first race over fences and one of them may not perform leaving a place opportunity. There are also question marks over the next two in the market. You will know the fate of this bet at the first fence as the selection has been reluctant to race or hit the first fence on his last four chase starts. He is capable but it a bit of a monkey.  🙁
We have other options such as Bynx @ 25-1 in the 2.35 and Marelly @ 33-1 in the 4.05 but we would prefer an extra place etc before committing on these.  🙂

Hi
No joy with Popmaster but I should’nt dabble on the flat (I am just weak willed) 🙁
We are back in Ireland tomorrow at Listowel and will go with Ned The Smith 66-1 in the 3.40 but will take the 23-1 on offer for 6 places.
As an update when going to place the bet, Ned The Smith has started drifting right out indicating we may end up with a non runner, but if not, the 30-1 for 6 places is now looking to be a decent shout.

Hi
The Silkeborg v West Ham was a cracker and we had a +6 point cash out option at half time but was not really worth taking considering the possibilites and although we eventually lost with 5 goals 3 cards goals in both halves and early corners the long shot bet was looking a possibility for most of the game so we will try again on Sunday with
Arsenal v Brentford.
For the banker bet we have two options to try those being Arsenal to win with btts @ 9-4 which we have used on the Beat The Lotto (£) thread and then we have our usual two obviously with revised prices.
Banker bet @ 9-4 = BTTS,1+ corner each team each half and 10+ booking points both teams.
Long Shot bet @ 100-1 = BTTS and 2+ corners both teams both halves and 20+ booking points both teams.

Hi
Roman Parish did us proud today finishing sixth which brought all three bets in even though we can only claim the first two for the thread. This means anyone taking all three bets would have cleared a +10 point profit and we cleared a +5.6 point profit for the thread.
There is only the one wager for tomorrow and it is on the flat so be careful. But I honestly believe that Popmaster in the 3.40 at Ayr is a solid each way shout at 11-1 for 7 places.

[Mike]

Hi
Roman Parish has been taken at 17-1 for 8 places and 21-1 for 7 places. There are options such as 27-1 for 6 places but for the thread we will hit the first two options.
Roman Parish is sporting a first time tongue tie and has the inform Sean Flanagan in the saddle.

[Mike]

Hi
As the lineups have now been announced I will try our usual double chance wager on the following game
Silkeborg v West Ham
Banker bet @ 11-4 = BTTS,1+ corner each team each half and 10+ booking points both teams.
Long Shot bet @ 200-1 = BTTS and 2+ corners both teams both halves and 20+ booking points both teams.
I know being a Hammers fan that I will get some stick for this prediction, but we do have a tendancy to leak goals of late but at least we are now managing to look a bit more potent up front.  🙂
