Hi
Stuck at work today 🙁 but will quickly give you the updated options on Alex D from last night.
You can get 33-1 for 6 places or 50-1 betting without both Burran Song and Baron Wild.
South East Star 66-1 goes in the same race but can be had at 25-1 and 33-1 respectively for the same style of bet.
Midnight Fortune 150-1 goes in the 4.50 at Down Royal but is up against it, so the 33-1 betting without Anna Buniba and Sit Down Lucy looks the best option.
As I said not much on today and the weekend as usual looks the best opportunity for a decent punt.

Hi
Not much to shout about for tomorrow, but I have another one running from my current list of horses to follow so feel obliged to take a punt on him.
The horse in question is Alex D and he runs in the 6.11 at Tramore. He is currently priced up at a 100-1 but although he has potential he is not an easy ride. Therefore, I will be looking for a decent price in the extra markets and will update the wager in the morning. I like the booking of Shane Fitzgerald and if he can get the horse to settle, we might sneak a small return.

Hi
Unfortunately thats the way the cookie crumbles, as both bets went down. However the first bet the 250-1 one, only went down by Scotland not scoring in the first half. Both teams scored in the second half both teams collected 20+ booking points and both teams had 2 or more corners in both halves.
I could have cashed out the second bet but was never really tempted.
For those who are still getting there head around this type of bet go over to the Long shot of the week (archive) thread to see, how when we have had a bit luck it can pay mega bucks. On the flip side it is a risky bet and check out the long losing streaks (that can occur) when you dabble with long odds wagers.

Hi
I hope this gives you an idea of how we tip on this site and at half time although Scotland haven’t scored both teams have had 2 or more corners Ukraine have scored and there have already been three yellow cards.
This means the first bet unfortunately is down but I believe it was well worth a punt at 250-1.
Now the fun starts in the second half for the 150-1 shot as Yarmelenko has already scored and Malinovsky has already been carded. We just need McGinn to score and Hanley to get booked. We already have a cash out option and can make a small profit, but not enough to tempt me so far.

Hi
That was a bit better as we got four legs of the placepot up at low stakes which worked out as follows (for those who missed the original thread).
Tipperary
Leg 1 No 11 = 1 bet
Leg 2 No’s 3+9+16 = 3 bets
Leg 3 No’s 10+15 = 2 bets
Leg 4 No’s 7+9 = 2 bets
Leg 5 No’s 2+9 = 2 bets
leg 6 No 4 = 1 bet
This meant that at 1/4 point per bet we had laid out 6 points as we had selected 1x3x2x2x2x1 = 24 bets(24x 1/4 = 6)
The selections highlighted placed so the return was 1x1x1x2x2x1 = 4 dividends
The tote divdend paid 31.1 points to every 1 point bet we had 4 dividends which means we had (4x 1/4 = 1) a 1 point dividend return of 31.1.
We then deduct our outlay of 6 points which gives us a tidy enough +25.1 point profit on the day 🙂

We have left this post in just to show how a placepot works, especially as it was one of the best bets for May which ended up +27.8 points up.

[Mike]

Hi
Assuming no non runners interfere with the bet this is tomorrows placepot option.
Tipperary
Leg 1 No 11
Leg 2 No’s 3+9+16
Leg 3 No’s 10+15
Leg 4 No’s 7+9
Leg 5 No’s 2+9
leg 6 No 4

Hi
We lost the last wager in May which means we ended up +55.80 points up for the festival/month but I am more than happy with that. 🙂
We will be closing/removing/editing some articles and threads, but will throw the odd selection on here from time to time until the revamp of the site is completed.
As you can see we are starting to adapt the thread back to a forum/tip section by introducing a few comments please feel free to join in. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Well after the Lord Mayor’s show comes the dung cart and yesterday was that day. 🙁
Imitation Game came close but the only other good thing was that due to non runners two of the bets became win singles only. But this still means we lost six points and now stand at +57.80 points up for the festival/month.
Unfortunately we do not have a lot on for today and will start the site revamp next week so the threads may go a little quiet after todays wagers.
Obviously both are at Punchestown and we have taken these two as each way singles.

3.10 Anibale Fly @ 10-1 for 5 places
5.30 Heia @ 14-1 for 6 places

[Mike]

Hi
These are the days you long for  🙂

Lilith won taken at 15-2 and Exit To The West placed at 25-1. Add this on to the previous winner and place from our earlier bets and we cleared a profit of +39.30 points today.  🙂
This means going into the final two days of both the month and the Punchestown meeting we are now up by +63.80 points.
I am unfortuately working tomorrow so will not be able to savour the moment but obviously must have a punt to see if we cannot beat our record month. Obviously we are staying at Punchestown and with little chance for an update tomorrow I will list all my final selections tonight.

3.40 Imitation Game @ 20-1 for 4 places
4.15 Grand Bornard @ 20-1 for 5 places
4.50 Rapid Response 40-1 but 18-1 betting without Elimay
5.25 Teahupoo @ 16-1 (but most likley to be a non runner)

All the above for the purpose of the thread, are our new standard one point each way singles.

[Mike]

Hi
I will admit I thought we may have gone a step too far by taking both the runners in the 6.00 but with A Great View winning taken at 25-1 and City Chief being placed taken at 13-2 we have had another cracking day at the office.
This means we have plenty of money in the pot so will take a punt on both of these in the 7.10
Lilith @ 15-2
Exit To The West @ 25-1
We have missed the boat with the prices here but up until the win in the last race we were not certain to even have a punt here earlier in the day. 🙁
Obviously we have dropped That’s Lifebouy so watch that one go in as Karma…lol.

[Mike]

Hi
We now have a possible option in the 7.10 but I will be home from work for that race. We will be looking at one of the following Lilith 17-2 That’s Lifebuoy 25-1 or Exit To The West 33-1. (However as there are only 4 places in the 7.10 we will be looking at only one in that race).
We have taken the plunge on both of the selections in the 6.00 and hope we have not taken a step to far today.?

[Mike]

Hi
Skippin Court lost and Mr Moodance was a non runner yesterday so we ended up dropping a couple of points but we live to fight another day and are still well up.
We obviously remain at Punchestown and to start the day off we will go with the following

3.40 Luke Short @ 15-2 for 7 places
4.50 Potters Corner @ 8-1 for 5 places

We may go in again later dependent on non runnners with either or in the following

6.00 City Chief 13-2 and/or A Great View 25-1 both for 8 places

[Mike]

Hi
Well after our lucky turn with the SP on Mighty Potter came the bad luck when Elegant Lass who was travelling really well in joint fourth just two out, clipped the heels of the horse in front stumbled and unseated the jockey.
But such is life Envoi Allen was third but obviously that was not good enough and although Michael’s Pick also dissapointed Jumping Susie did us proud with both the extra place bets coming in. For those who took the straight bet it was an even better return as Jumping Susie placed at 125-1.
We can only claim the extra place bets there but that still means we finished a very tidy +26.5 points up on the day.
This leaves us well up and with four more days of the festival to go we should manage to come out with a half decent profit.

For tomorrow we have just the two selections both in the opening race at Punchestown

3.40 Skippin Court @ 66-1 for 6 places (taken tonight)
3.40 Mr Moondance 100-1 (but we will be looking into the extra place markets when they are available for our bet andf will update as soon as possible).

[Mike]

Hi
With no signifcant non runners all bets are on and although I did stress all were each way bets it was really nice to see the first one win. 🙂
I will be the first to admit I did only expect a place and with BOG on the the two five runner races it was the icing on the cake to have Mighty Potter drift in the market and payout at an SP of 20-1. 🙂

Lets hope we can follow that up this afternoon with at the very least another place or two. ?

[Mike]

Hi
We have now started to strip out a lot of the old threads with a view to kicking them in again when the revamp takes place, but will try and keep a few like this running for the time being. 🙂
This week sees the Punchestown in full swing so we will offer a few each way options each day where possible and will update the thread this afternoon.

4.15 Mighty Potter @ 9-1 (assuming all five go to post)
4.50 Elegant Lass @ 25-1 for 6 places
5.25 Envoi Allen @ 16-1 (assuming all five go to post)
6.00 Jumping Susie 80-1 but available at 45-1 for 8 places and 50-1 for 7 places
7.10 Michaels Pick @ 10-1 for 4 places
