Hi
Well that was a nice return to the foray with all three singles and the treble coming in for a nice +14.87 point profit.
As we have not had a dabble for ages this led to instant greed on our behalf and we will go in again today with the following as even if all four bets go down we will still be +10.87 points up on the day.
Chelsea to beat Bounemouth @ 1-1
Newcastle to beat Wolves @ 1-1
Tottenham v Arsenal both teams to not recieve 2+ cards each @ 6-4
The treble in this instance comes out at 9-1

Hi
A few minor set backs and looks like we have lost one of the “Goalposts” pundits but we will try and fill in the blanks until we can find another one.

Man United to beat Southampton with over 1 goal in the game @ 10-11
Man City to beat Brentford with BTTS @ 13-8
West Ham to win or draw against Fulham with BTTS @ 13-10
This gives us 10.52-1 treble for those looking for the longer odds.

Hi
Assuming the competition will be going ahead again this year please let me know if you are interested in joining in again (or for the first time) before the end of this month. As although the list of horses to choose from does not usually get posted until the end of October you will have to have been an active member of the site and posted before the competition selections are posted.

Hi
Building works are now all but finished and computer room finally back up and running. I would swear I am doing more work now than before my retirement…lol. Originally the site had been set up for a team of pundits covering a selection of sports but that idea has unfortunately somewhat fallen by the wayside (for now). New members are always welcome but as we do get a lot of spam and false applications weird and wonderful @email addresses are unfortunately automatically filtered out.

As for the future of the site and especially the “Winningposts” side of it, we have been gearing up over the last few years to my retirement plan by building a data base of Irish hurdlers and for future reference the vast majority of our wagers will be confined to this parameter. The exception to this will be our competition pages such as the Ten To Follow and Beat The Lotto  which have there own criteria. We are slowly opening up all the old threads but as an example regarding this thread, there is only one Irish NH meeting next week as the Flat season comes to its climax so the wagers will be thin on the ground during September. This is the month we tend to find out who is coming back into the fold and whether or not we will be having any new members join in.

Hi
With just myself and Suds playing we are just going to let last weeks selections rollover. 🙂
Australia +5 to beat Argentina @ 1-1 Lost
Lando Norris to win the Azerbaijan Grand Prix @ 6-5
Matt Wallace to win the Omega Masters @ 4-6 Won
GB Packers +2 to beat PHI Eagles @ 10-11 Lost
Master Builder to win the 1.50 at Haydock @ 9-4 Won
Man Utd to beat Southampton plus over 1 goal in the game @ 1-1

[Mike]

Hi
Following a few queries over the renewal of the beat the lotto competition the Golf runs over the whole weekend and the Football and Grand Prix are for next weekend (which has made the wager confusing). But as Suds and I have been the only ones showing an interest we decided to showcase the bet over a lot of sports just to show the possibilities.
When the competition starts up on a regular basis the usual rules will apply which are that the bets should be over that weekend only and the odds should be available on bet365. 🙂

Hi
I will fill the blanks in for tomorrows selections and will spread the wagers over a range of sports just to show you there are a lot of options available.
Australia +5 to beat Argentina @ 1-1
Lando Norris to win the Azerbaijan Grand Prix @ 6-5
Matt Wallace to win the Omega Masters @ 4-6
GB Packers +2 to beat PHI Eagles @ 10-11
Master Builder to win the 1.50 at Haydock @ 9-4
Man Utd to beat Southampton plus over 1 goal in the game @ 1-1
The accumulator comes to 90-1 and we are also doing are requisite trebles.
The lottery numbers are are usual 4,7,16,23,31 and 50.

[Mike]

Hi
We are slowly starting the site back up (the building work at my house is a bit behind schedule) and will be restarting the beat the lotto off tomorrow. We have had no new interest in the off season so I will assume it will just be myself and Suds kicking it off but you still have time. ?

[Mike]

Hi
A mixed bag that went downhill after a cracking start with Routine Excellence winning at 8-1 then Artic Gale placing second at 13-8 but with both of the others (although running well) finishing out of the places it was a live to fight another day scenario.
We have an interesting one over at Wexford
3.20 Hutton Glen @ 25-1 we missed the 33-1
Also it would be worth looking at the 5.50 at Down Royal for reference as one trainer brings three over and although Southey looks the stable pick be mindful of a market move on either of the Largy runners.

[Mike]

Hi
We are going to have a dabble over at Bellewstown tomorrow in the hope of getting a bit of pin money ready for the relaunch this weekend.
4.15 Routine Excellence @ 8-1
4.45 Arctic Gale @ 13-8
5.18 Hidalgo Des Mottes @ 10-1 for 5 places
5.48 Navigator Jack @ 25-1 for 4 places
These will be done as 6x 1/2 point each way doubles as the prices are a bit short with an option on going in for Navigator Jack as a single later in the day if things are not going well.

[Mike]

Hi
We will be going back in with are usual restart next weekend and I can assure you there will be more ‘Ridiculous Ideas‘ and we may well follow up on some of the ones we tried before now we have had the time to recharge our batteries.

[Mike]

Hi
We have started to tidy up the threads and will be returning next weekend with hopefully a regular selection of Football or Rugby selections. We are always looking for fresh input and remember it could be any sport involving a goalpost for this thread. The main criteria is that it has to have odds available on the individual sport with at least three major UK bookmakers.

[Mike]

Hi
Apologies for late post everything that could go wrong has gone wrong lately including our last suggestion Blackstone Cliff which stumbled and unseated the rider halfway round. We will keep him in our notebook though. 🙂
Today we did have a possible wager today but the price we took 25-1 has long since gone
Sligo 7.10 Doyen Flyer now 12-1 which makes it a bit tight for only 3 places

[Mike]

Hi
Building works taking longer than anticipated but we will be back with the revamped site shortly.
In the meantime here is one to look at over at Tramore.
2.33 Blackstone Cliff @ 10-1 for 5 places

[Mike]

Hi
There is a light at the end of tunnel for our golf wager as after a disastrous start bogeying two of the first three holes our boy Chris sits -5 under in joint 8th place at the end of the first round.
Lets hope the light is not a train coming the other way. 🙂
