Hi Rob
Hope you feel better soon we need that engine ticking on a straight six by Ascot. I think we have mentioned this a few times on here but the “state of the ground” is probably the old enemies greatest ally. We mentioned in a previous thread that we have actually considered stopping betting (in NH fixtures) on any day we with Heavy mentioned in the going description.
I know it could be considered an opportunity but I will confess this aspect of the game has me stumped. It has even thrown our stats out on the latest “Bletchley Park” topic. I know you dabble on the dirt in the states etc do you have any such issues in those scenarios. ?

Hi
It was a better week last week with three winners helping us to a well deserved win.
Punchestown 1.15 Magico @ 11-4
Punchestown 1.50 Hashtag Pretender @ 3-1
Musselburgh 2.15 Furturra @ 2-1 Won
Punchestown 3.40 Rosies Wings @ 9-2 Won
Punchestown 4.55 Brother Walfrid @ 2-1 Won
Punchestown 5.30 Returning Officer @ 11-2

It would be nice if we could repeat the feat this week and here goes
Downpatrick 2.00 Emestraye @ 7-2
Downpatrick 2.35 Nakassama @ 15-8
Downpatrick 5.30 Flashy Fred @ 4-1
Hexham 4.10 Campaign Trail @ 2-1
USA to beat Paraguay @ 21-20
Japan to beat Netherlands @ 27-10

The lottery numbers are the usual 4,7,16,23,26 and 50

Hi
This will be a bit of a first but we are going in again on tonight’s selection as it has has drifted to 18-1 for 9 places and I cannot resist a bargain. We have already taken him for 5 places @ 40-1 but have put another 1/2 point each way.In hindsight I would have just gone with the second option but I really did not think he would drift this far.

[Mike]

Hi
We currently still stand on +26.24 and think it is worth a 1/2 point each way on Jr Mahon @ 40-1 as we can get the extra place with bet365 in the 7.20 at Fairyhouse tomorrow. The horse is no world beater but has shown a bit promise in both codes and this trip just might be the answer. The jockey ran well with this one over hurdles and gets the full 7lb claim here in what looks like a weak race.

Hi
Timurshah won but Fighting Falcon Pulled up which meant we dropped a point on the double. However Hopeful Hero placed so we picked up a point there and came out even on the day. We have nothing for a few days now so will play catch up with tidying the site up.

[Mike]

Hi
I guess that’s just the way it goes as I was convinced Struck Oil was my best bet of the week and he fell at the last having jumped left most of the way around. But such is life we dropped three points and now stand at +26.24 as we go into tomorrow.

Southwell 5.05 Fighting Falcon @ 15-8 3 places
Sligo 7.00 Timurshah @ 4-1 for 5 places
The above are a done as a 1/2 point each way double.

Sligo 6.30 Hopeful Hero @ 10-1 is a “To Follow” horse and we will go 1 point each way.

Hi
As the site is still short of a football pundit but still goes by the “goalpoststowinningposts” title I thought I would throw in a couple of bets for the forthcoming World Cup.
Firstly Argentina to win outright @ 10-1 looks overpriced especially with the European countries prone to under performing when playing outside of home soil. The Argentine squad is a little bit older this time around but they know how to grind out a result and as is often the case especially in the group stages when teams play not to lose rather than to win they look a solid option.
The second is the surprise package every World Cup has one and I am going in with Sweden @ 10-1 to reach but then be eliminated in the quarter finals. I know the foreign manager stats I did a full run down on this years ago for another site but Graham Potter has coached clubs in Sweden for many years speaks the lingo and has put together a good group of players who seem 100% behind him.
This brings me to the obvious as it also brings up my usual big punt which is by throwing in the double you get just over 110-1. I would split stakes on the double which would give you the cash out option on one of them should they both start off well.
I am revising and updating the site and threads but the name will as stated earlier remain the same, so if you are keen on your football get in touch the “goalposts” seat is still vacant…lol.

Hi
Fairlander did us proud winning at 10-1 we let Accustomed go and El Regalo lost so we ended up +5 points on the day. We now stand at +29.24 and have just the one going tomorrow which is a “To Follow” horse and we can get away with 1.5 points each way on that one at the 13-2 for 4 places showing tonight.

Rosscommon 7.18 Struck Oil

Hi
We have three going tomorrow all are extra market options but I am happy enough to go in with two of them tonight for the usual 1/2 point each way albeit for just the one extra place.

Punchestown 3.07 Fairlander @ 10-1 for 5 places
Punchestown 4.52 Accustomed 12-1
Navan 4.37 El Regalo @ 28-1 for 5 places

We will look again at Accustomed in the morning. !

[Mike]

Hi
Well not to bad a day but ultimately disappointing as we had a 20-1 winner a 22-1 place plus a bet builder all come in and we only made +5.73. But that’s the way the cookie crumbles and I would have settled for that at the start of the day.
We have nothing for tomorrow but we will be back Sunday and will starting with a balance of +24.24 so it could be worse.

Hi
No joy with the free lucky dip on Wednesday so last weekend was another no score draw competition wise but we are hopeful of coming back with a bang this weekend.

Punchestown 1.15 Magico @ 11-4
Punchestown 1.50 Hashtag Pretender @ 3-1
Musselburgh 2.15 Furturra @ 2-1
Punchestown 3.40 Rosies Wings @ 9-2
Punchestown 4.55 Brother Walfrid @ 2-1
Punchestown 5.30 Returning Officer @ 11-2

The lottery numbers are the usual 4,7,16,23,26 and 50

[Mike]

Hi
No bet builder with bet365 but I have managed to get 3.33-1 with Paddy Power for both Benzine & Timurshah to finish in the top 7.
I will leave Whats New unless the price drastically drifts.

[Mike]

Hi
No joy with Butchers Bill in the last bet so we go back to +18.51 but we have a handful of runners tomorrow at Clonmel.

5.05 Whats New 2-1
Too short at present unless an option opens up in the extra markets
5.40 Benzine 15-2
5.40 Timurshah 50-1
This will be a bet builder when the markets open up
6.10 Crypto Crash 14-1 but we have taken 10-1 for 6 places
7.55 Speakasyoufind @ 22-1 for 5 places (To Follow)

As you can see we have gone in with two bets tonight and will update at some time tomorrow.

[Mike]

Hi
Just to let you know we won a free lucky dip for the competition which we will using tonight the numbers are…5,12,15,17,19 & 58.
Obviously anyone who played last Saturday would be eligible for the usual !/7 share.

[Mike]

Hi Steve
Back on track with nice little 9-1 winner you will hit the 100+ points total by the end of the year the way your going. ??
