Hi Joe
Thanks for the message always appreciated 🙂
I hope you get to join in the Beat The Lotto (£) next weekend, but no pressure you have always been a part of the site so your contact details will be whitelisted. We can’t afford to lose you. !

Hi
Elle Dorado Rock is a non runner but still leaves eight in the field so the three places are still on offer. We have now missed the 20-1 but will take the following bet, as it still offers some value.

Tramore 2.00 Morepowertoya @ 18-1

For future reference we have decided to remove/restrict the membership as the plug in is still causing minor issues. So if anyone is interested in joining in please sign up before the weekend. We wil be running the Beat The Lotto (£) thread this weekend so it is a perfect opportunity to do so.  🙂

Hi
Hello Jumeirah was a non runner and I wish I Elegant Lass had been as having been up with the leaders she went to pieces two out and finshed out with the washing. 🙁
I have a handful of runners for tomorrow to keep an eye on but all are running in the same maiden race at Tramore. This makes tipping one up near impossible but of Open The Gate, College Causeway, Elle Dorado Rock and Morepowertoya we will keep an eye on the latter.
The race is the 2.00 and assuming at least 8 runners stay in the race we will be going for Morepowertoya currently on offer at 20-1. We will update this in the morning when the non runners have been declared.

Hi
I finally have a few days off now and hopefully have a few decent shouts for Sunday but as for tomorrow we have just the two.

Haydock 2.05 Hello Jumeirah @ 12-1 for 5 places
Bellewstown 5.35 Elegant Lass @ 40-1 for 6 places

We are on a bit of a roll this week and have just had a 100-1 winner on the ‘Other Sports’ thread and hopefully will attempt a decent priced wager over here as soon as the Irish NH season restarts. 🙂
In the meantime an extra each way double might be worth a punt on the above selections.
Hello Jumeirah has some solid form and is stepping up in trip on her handicap debut hails from the very shrewd Haggas yard and has Danny Tudhope doing the steering.
Elegant Lass pops up from time to time and I believe a return to Bellewstown where she is one from one might just do the trick. If nothing else she is overpriced and should be there or thereabouts.

Hi
Well better born lucky than rich (they tell me) 🙂 Bet 365 paid out early doors on our first bet.
100-1 1/5 odds each way 5 places first round leader

He is currently struggling (playing in the sand) on the tenth, but with two rounds to go we may still have a half decent shout for our other two wagers.

125-1 1/5 odds each way 8 places
75-1 1/5 odds each way 12 places (no cash out option)

It is really nice when 100-1 shots win  🙂 but do remember, they are not a regular occurance.

[Mike]

Hi
Thanks Joe, now they are running again its nice to get a couple in the frame at a decent price. We just need to get one home now.  🙂
General Clermont advised at 30-1 picked us up a nice few points again today, but in fairness more or less just did what we predicted and got involved without threatening to win.
We do have a couple for Saturday, but as I have a lot on tonight and have a busy day at work tomorrow we will have to give Friday a miss.  🙁

[Mike]

Hi
South East Star placed fourth at 40-1 and although best odds guaranteed was in place there was also a small rule 4 deduction, but we still cleared a nice little profit the day.  🙂  Another 100 yards and we might have got a win here, but we have probably lost the element of surprise when he goes back hurdling.
We have a nice bunch of runners coming up over the next few days but as for tomorrow we will try another small each way on the following runner over at Tipperary. Our selection here is a solid although limited handicapper, who is returning to hurdles after a stint over the jumps but looks overpriced and should get involved.

5.35 General Clermont @ 30-1 for 5 places

[Mike]

Hi
We had five of the six legs up in today’s placepot including the banker but missed leg 3  🙁
On a brighter note we have a return of the the Irish NH racing in a few days which means we can hopefully get back to business shortly.
In the meantime one of our runners is turning out on the flat tomorrow at Tipperary. There are two options here, it is either a prep race for a hurdles run in a few weeks time or they think a spin back on the flat (off a decent handicap mark) is worth a try.
It would be worth checking the markets in the morning to see if anyone fancies this one, but as it looks a decent price tonight we will risk a small punt.

8.10 South East Star @ 28-1 for 5 places

[Mike]

Hi
Chris Gotterup did indeed get through to the last round but could only finish in T28 (joint 28th) so no return this time. However he played four really solid rounds and as we have put him up as a player to follow we will go in again in a few days in the John Deere Classic.
This would be the equivalent of dropping in class and with a lot of the big guns missing from this tournament the following prices are on offer if you fancy a dabble.

125-1 1/5 odds each way 8 places

75-1 1/5 odds each way 12 places (no cash out option)
100-1 1/5 odds each way 5 places first round leader

[Mike]

Hi
Just to keep the ball rolling I will throw in a placepot at Roscommon today using the following numbers. Minimum stakes advised so as to only risk a few of our hard points. The bet will total 32x bets (2x1x2x2x2x2 = 32) hopefully you will get the idea by now how this bet works.

Leg 1 Numbers 5 + 8
Leg 2 Number 4
Leg 3 Numbers 6 + 10
Leg 4 Numbers 7 + 11
Leg 5 Numbers 6 + 12
Leg 6 Numbers 1 + 2

The ground today will rule out a lot of the runners and this set of selections will hopefully bring about a small return on the day. I am hoping for no more non runners as we currently have a good spread of places on offer in all the races. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Rob’s Rajinsky placed fourth at 8-1 today so he has more or less kept himself onside with his selections. 🙂
My placepot bit the dust early doors and I am afraid it will most likely be well into next week before my beloved Irish NH racing returns (but patience is a virtue).  🙁
Also with most of the gliches sorted out the site will be reset soon. So those wishing to chance a dabble at tipping should do so now.

[Mike]

Hi
Well that looked really promising my long shot selection went 3 under after just 4 holes last night but unfortunately only ended up 2 under for the round. But if he has another decent round tonight we could still make the final round and a possible place. 🙂
Danny Willett is probably going to hang in there as well and we may have a couple to follow here over the next month, as both for different reasons are possible improvers. It is strange watching golf, but whilst we wait for the football season to kick back in, needs must.

[Mike]

Hi
With no football on at present and no Irish NH racing for another week I am left looking for a bet. Hence I have returned here with another long shot for the golf. Danny Willet was the opening show for this thead but had one disasterous round and never recovered. This bet is another long shot for 12 places by way of Chris Gotterup (no serious that is his name) at 250-1 for 12 places at 1/5 odds (Sky Bet).
This guy has just turned pro was a decent amateur and has already made a promising start. Now he does not appeal as a surprise winner against the big boys but is capable of getting through to the final round at big odds.  The competion is the Travelers Championship which starts on Thursday this week. For those looking for a fantasy bet he is also available at 400-1 for  8 places which has a cash out option (which is an essential extra for the way I bet).   🙂

Hi
As Ascot draws to a close it was a bit of a damp squib for the site as Joe’s horse was a non runner and of my three selections, I could only get the one placed which was Highfield Princess advised at 16-1.
I did get a reminder of why I avoid the flat however, when Tabdeed was badly hampered at the start by Commanche Falls shipping David Probert, effectively ending any chance of a result.
On a brighter note, although we missed the placepot it paid out £79,125.50 to a £1 which I hope shows you why we will be using this type of bet in future. I know I said “I smell a decent payout” last night but in truth no one could have predicted that sort of amount.

[Mike]

Hi
Here are the placepot numbers for Royal Ascot today. It is a deliberate ploy to avoid the favourites (where possible), as to achieve a decent payout, you have to get the odd favourite to fluff there lines.

Leg 1 no’s 6 + 8
Leg 2 no’s 10 + 15
Leg 3 no 3
Leg 4 no’s 20 + 23
Leg 5 no’s 8 + 15
Leg 6 no’s 1 + 5

Now remember this, like the itv7 should be treated as a low stakes fun bet that gives you some interest in the afternoon’s racing. 🙂
