Hi
I Am Maximus grabbed fifth so that bet was a void due to the special terms of the bet.

Of the others Galliard Du Mesnil and Indigo Breeze both placed which means we already have a return to come on yesterdays bet with both Boothill and Falcon Eight still to go.

2.10 Galliard Du Mesnil @ 16-1 Placed
2.50 Indigo Breeze @ 12-1 (8 places) Placed
4.10 Shady Operator @ 10-1 (5 places) lost
The County Hurdle Boothill @ 20-1
The Albert Bartlett Falcon Eight @ 16-1

Today we also had Andy Dufresne run (placed second) from our other bet which means as we had three non runners there we already have three singles in and the possibility of a double to come plus further singles.

County Hurdle Balco Coastal @ 16-1 (non runner)
Mares Novice Hurdle Love Envoi @ 14-1
Grand Annual Andy Dufresne @ 14-1 placed
Pertemps Hurdle The Big Galloper @ 12-1 (non runner)
Martin Pipe Conditional Deploy The Getaway @ 12-1 (non runner)

This means all of our bets to date now look as if they will all return a profit but most rely on Fridays results which means we have a bit of scope to have an extra punt for tomorrow.
However although we are knocking on the door with most of our bets we are not getting that elusive first (except obviously our ten to follow selections) therefore we will go for some big priced outsiders as follows.

2.10 Sassy But Classy 10-1 (8 places)
2.50 Finian D’estruval 33-1
3.10 Lisnagar Oscar 33-1 (4 places)
4.10 Hardline 20-1 (7 places)
4.50 Ahorsewithnoname 80-1 (5 places)
4.50 Nurse Susan 20-1 (5 places)

The bet has two selections in the last race as I have another shot to nothing bet for tomorrow and will decide after the non runners have been declared which one will be the single bet.

Hi Joe
No worries best of luck I think we will need it this week.  🙁

The first day confirmed a mass of non runners on our first wager with four of the first five being ruled out so we have cashed out which more or less broke even and have taken our remaining runner Shady Operator and included Galliard Du Mesnil who switched races over to a new bet with three going tomorrow. 🙂

The Ultima Handicap Chase The Big Breakaway @ 16-1 (non runner)
The Turners Novice Chase Galliard Du Mesnil @ 25-1 (switched race/non runner)
The National Hunt Chase Diol Ker @ 16-1 (non runner)
The Cross Country Chase Shady Operator @ 10-1
The Coral Cup I Am Maximus @ 14-1 (switched race/non runner)

2.10 Galliard Du Mesnil @ 16-1
2.50 Indigo Breeze @ 12-1 (8 places)
4.10 Shady Operator @ 10-1 (5 places)
The County Hurdle Boothill @ 20-1
The Albert Bartlett Falcon Eight @ 16-1

The other switched horse I Am Maximus is being used as a win bet in the 1.30 tomorrow as Sky Bet are offering a money back option if your horse finishes in the first five but places which is too good to turn down as it means we can go maximum on that one.

The second wager had four going today of which Our Power 12-1 and HMS Seahorse 10-1 both placed which will give us a return but now relies on Falcon Eight in the last leg to see if we clear a profit on the bet.

As you can see from the new bet we have re-used Falcon Eight just in case the bugger wins.  🙂

Hi
As Cheltenham approaches we will throw in another set of 10x each way doubles this time based around the first day of the meeting on Tuesday.

Once again there are slightly better prices available but we are always looking for the extra place in this type of wager.

Arkle Chase Magic Daze @ 12-1
Ultima H’cap Chase Our Power @ 12-1
Close Bros Mares Hurdle Martello Sky @ 12-1
Boodles H’cap Hurdle HMS Seahorse @ 10-1
Albert Bartlett Nov Hurdle Falcon Eight @ 16-1

[Mike]

Hi
We have now put down our second Cheltenham wager which is as follows and this once again will be 10x each way doubles for a minimum of 4 places at non runner no bet.

County Hurdle Balco Coastal @ 16-1
Mares Novice Hurdle Love Envoi @ 14-1
Grand Annual Andy Dufresne @ 14-1
Pertemps Hurdle The Big Galloper @ 12-1
Martin Pipe Conditional Deploy The Getaway @ 12-1

[Mike]

Hi
Although our early plans have been decimated by injuries etc we have decided now that non runner no bet has been introduced we will make our first wager.

The Ultima Handicap Chase The Big Breakaway @ 16-1
The Turners Novice Chase Galliard Du Mesnil @ 25-1
The National Hunt Chase Diol Ker @ 16-1
The Cross Country Chase Shady Operator @ 10-1
The Coral Cup I Am Maximus @ 14-1

Most of the above already 4 places on show but obviously extra places will be available on the day and you can obtain better prices by jumping between the current  bookmkaers odds on offer.

However to get the multiples we require at NRNB with 4 places we are happy enough. 🙂

The above bet is our usual each way doubles as if we get a non runner we will still have a mixture of singles and doubles on our orignal selections.

Hi
The new Ten To Follow competition for the National Hunt season will start on the 13th November 2021.
The list of horses to choose from will be posted Monday the 25th October and anyone who wishes to join in please let me know within the next seven days.

[Mike]

Hi
Well that was more like it, not only a runner but a winner and with first ever double wager as Steak And Onions actually finished third at an SP of 80-1.
This means our double wager paid off and returned a nice proft of +8 points on the day and if we had been a little bolder could have also taken the 50-1 for 5 places that was on offer.
As mentioned I am away for the weekend at a family wedding so this thread along with a few others may go quiet for a while unless I can sneak away. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Been a few non runners here but we will take our first ever double up bet by taking Steak And Onions at 20-1 for 7 places and 30-1 for 5 places. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
If this one runs I would be quite keen to take a punt on it. 🙂
The horse is called Steak And Onions is price up at 100-1 this evening and runs in the 1.40 at Listowel tomorrow.
We will update the bet as soon as the extra prices and non runners have been posted.

[Mike]

Hi
Congratulations to all those who kept there nerve and collected the full return as Man City got the last corner required in the second minute of injury time. 🙂
My ticker would never have taken the strain but I do hope it’s agreed this 400-1 wager was the Long Shot Of The Week. 🙂 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Call me weak but I cashed out at +312 points with City only needing a corner to complete the full bet.
For those who know me the heart bypass was not going to stand the last fifteen minutes or so and it still makes for great shout in my book. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Once again we have what should be the difficult part of the bet in as both teams have scored got the requisite amount of corners and a couple of cards to boot. 🙂

I am not sure why Ake did not pick up a card as a penalty was awarded but such is life. 🙁

Still at 2-2 at half time this should at least be a lively second half.

[Mike]

Hi
This bet is becoming very frustrating as we came so close again last night but at 400-1 with Sky Bet we just have to have a punt in tonights Newcastle v Man City game.
Both teams to score and have 2 corners or more in both halves with both teams to recieve 20 or more booking points in the match.

[Mike]

Hi
Cullagh Star came a brilliant fourth at 250-1 and has made me wonder with our recent results whether or not we should transfer these selections over to the monthly tips thread instead of here. ?
However for the time being even at the each way extra odds taken we have grabbed another couple of points for the thread and can do little wrong at present. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi GeeSport
It would have been a much better result for us had they included the Punchestwon Festival but such is life. Unfortunately I think they dropped a clanger by finishing the competition a day before it started. 🙁
