Hi
We had a cracking start today with a 9-1 winner in Harsh and had high hopes for the other two (well one of the other two…lol). But the day went downhill, but if you had asked me if I would have settled for a 9-1 winner at the start of the day I would have loved the idea. We ended up with a +6.80 point profit on the day which I am more than happy with. 🙂
As for tomorrow we are going back to Punchestown for the following options
3.40 Nara @ 9-1 for 6 places
3.40 Pigeon House 28-1
6.35 Popova @ 12-1 for 6 places
7.05 Me Wee Bonnie Lass @ 18-1 for 4 places
We will be looking at Pigeon House in the extra markets as it is a very rare to see Nico De Boinville ride for anyone other than Nicky Henderson. Pigeon House is his only ride of the day other than Hendersons Chantry House. ?

Hi
We have managed to get 100-1 for 4 places on Zulu Mike with betfair but this is not BOG (best odds guaranteed) but he is unlikely to get any bigger in price. 🙂 We have taken the more serious option of 11-1 for 7 places on the Mike’s Retirement Plan thread.

Hi
We have had a look and decided to go in with all three but we have taken a safer approach as it is my pension we are talking about here. 🙂
2.30 Harsh @ 9-1 for 6 places (3 points each way)
3.05 Aero’s Luck @ 17-2 3 places but betting without Blizzard Of Oz and Answer To Kayf (3 points each way)
3.40 Zulu Mike now 100-1 but we have taken 11-1 for 7 places (1 point each way)
We have also gone with a 1 point each way double on Harsh and Aero’s Luck which takes us up to our 16 point wager for the day. 🙂

Hi
I will be looking at another punt on here this week over at Punchestown and if we can get an edge I will be looking at the selections from todays Winning Post Tips thread but will be splitting the bet again as we are now on the 16 point option.

Hi
Not to bad today as we got both Al Kalia and Nusret placed and it has inspired me to go back to Punchestown tomorrow with a silly one. 🙂
2.30 Harsh @ 9-1 for 6 places
3.05 Aero’s Luck @ 14-1 for 4 places
3.40 Zulu Mike @ 66-1 for 4 places
We may well take the more serious option of 14-1 for 6 places on Zulu Mike but we just had to have a punt with this one on the exchanges as well.

Hi Suds
It,s a good way to look at it all of us had a dodgy weekend with the accumulator threads Joe’s and your threads went south and the beat the lotto bit the dust. 🙁 But as long as your banker bets or occasional accumulators are covering your losses (which they have been so far) its ok. 🙂
But thats just the way acca’s go you have to remember that what we are trying to do is at best risky and in reality downright silly but if you are having fun thats the real point. I have always said on this site it’s for fun with a serious side and in the five plus years the site has been going we have not lost money. 🙂

Hi
After a couple of big priced winners in the last post you fear the worst, but we will try the following over at Punchestown tomorrow.
3.05 Al Kalia @ 16-1 for 7 places (skybet)
4.15 Nusret @ 16-1 for 6 places + a 25% bonus (bet365) effectively 20-1
Lets hope for a another day in the sun before the season ends. 🙂

Hi
I knew we had this coming after so many good results over the last three or four weeks and we got creamed at the weekend. Admittedley and in fairness to ourselves it was only a point or a corner either way but as we got no returns and only the one winner it was not a good day. However the lottery lost as well, so for the competition it was a no score draw…lol.
On the bright side for those that follow the threads they will know we had a cracking day on the Winning Post Tips thread with a couple of big priced winners, so we are still happy little bunnies when it comes down to it.  🙂

Hi Boys and Girls
Thanks for the messages, it’s always nice to get a heads up when something goes right. It can be a thankless task when so many people log in to view the site 🙂 but so few people join in or comment. 🙁
Thanks again and we will be looking at the Punchestown festival later today. 🙂

Hi G (Mgame)
You must be a lucky charm…lol. We cleared a tidy +54.40 point profit yesterday reminds me of the good old days. 🙂 Strangely I have been chatting with another member about dabbling with the early Cheltenham wagers but it would for obvious reasons go under the Ridiculous Ideas for 2024 thread.
Thanks for the heads up (always appreciated) 🙂

Hi Suds
We are back with another magnificent 6 (I was never sure the Mexican farmhand counted) ?. 🙂
Ospreys + 25.5 to beat Bulls but Bulls to win at level points @ 5-6
LA Clippers +4.5 to beat DAL Mavericks @ 10-11
Colchester v Crewe Over 0 goals Colchester + Over 3 corners each team @ 6-5
MK Dons v Sutton Over 0 goals MK Dons + Over 3 corners each team @ 6-5
Swindon v Morecambe Over 0 goals Swindon + Over 1 goal in the game + Over 3 corners each team @ 6-5
Wrexham v Stockport Over 0 goals Stockport +Over 3 corners each team @ 10-11
The acca comes to over 87-1 and we will go trebles as usual.
The lottery ticket numbers will be 4,7,16,23,31 and 50 as usual.

Hi
Well we did say with the Irish NH season finishing soon “we would like end with a bang” and the bangs don’t get much louder than todays results. 🙂
4.20 Mount Anglesey at 14-1 betting without Valsopresa and Gone For Tea. Won
5.20 Be My Hero @ 8-1 for 4 places (lost)
5.50 Custers Mistake @ 33-1 for 4 places (bet 365) Won
We are chuffed at HQ as we also threw up Custers Mistake as a ringer and its nice when you spot one. 🙂 We felt we deserved today having had a couple of fallers lately (when in contention) which makes the day even sweeter. 🙂
We will be back for a look at the “Punchestown Festival” next week but we are unlikely to do better than today and with nothing running until the festival we can take a few days off and gloat over a good days work. 🙂

Hi
Bit of a glitch there but we did get Mount Anglesby at 14-1 betting without Valsorpresa and Gone For Tea. But this time we used betfair instead of bet365 as the price was a little better.

[Mike]

Hi
For those following the thread (I can see you…lol) 🙂 I have not given up on the good ship “Bookie Buster” but am taking my time with the launch as we need to create another spreadsheet that will help us balance the books. When using Betfair they supply you with the relavent software when you place bets on there exchanges but we will be making our own book utilising several different bookmakers odds.
As an example we put up Custers Mistake last night on the Winning Post Tips thread as a bet or a possible trade as we could get 33-1 with bet365 but only 16-1 with betfair. I hope this makes sense but we are going to need to use every possible edge to make this work. “Ridiclous Ideas” can be expensive when they go wrong. 🙁
I hope to launch this idea soon and hopefully it will become clearer as we get up and running. 🙂

Hi
I guess you have to laugh (otherwise you would cry) as Shana Cloon fell at the last which is become the norm for us lately but horse and jockey got up ok and so I guess that is the main priority.
We are running out of time with the Irish NH season and we would like end with a bang but…. .We will try a few over at Downpatrick tomorrow as we may have spotted a ringer in there.
4.20 Mount Anglesey 33-1
5.20 Be My Hero @ 8-1 for 4 places
5.50 Custers Mistake @ 33-1 for 4 places (bet 365)
Mount Anglesey we will be looking towards the extra markets. Custers Mistake could be the ringer although I did not fancy him the other day he was a market mover, before being declared a non runner. He looks a more likely proposition tomorrow and at 33-1 is worth a punt especially in the exchanges in case he starts to move again.
