Hi Suds
Well done with the Rugby again, all three banker bets in and the France v England bet builder. This makes for a profit of just over 2 points for the weekend which is another winning weekend.
I look forward to seeing the selections next weekend when you get back to the club Rugby. 🙂

Hi
Here are todays results which worked out quite well
Uttoxeter 3.00 Mr Incredible @ 11-2 Placed
Thurles 3.40 Gabriel Ranger @ 10-1 Placed
Thurles 3.40 Targo Flavia @ 10-1 Lost
Thurles 4.50 Cloudy Fountain @ 10-1 Won
This means we cleared a profit of +11.10 for the day (its nice to get back to Irish racing) 🙂
We are looking at three tomorrow over at Down Royal and Wexford which will be as follows
Down Royal 1.07 Aurea Fortuna 80-1
Wexford 2.52 Midweek Voices 14-1
Wexford 3.07 Liberated Light 6-1
We will update these in the morning when the extra markets are posted.

Hi
Well I knew that would be painful and I just chose the wrong horse, I had three horses to chose from one wins at 10-1 one places at 10-1 and one loses. Guess which one I used 🙁 But that is betting for you woulda, coulda, shoulda…lol.
This now take the balance back down to +112.45 but leaves the 12 point option open.

Hi
The last bet was worth a punt with only the one game going down
West Ham @ 4-6 Won
Rangers @ 15-8 Lost
Aston Villa @ 4-11 Won
Liverpool @ 2-7 Won
Brighton @ 8-11 Won
We will go back to our League 2 database today for the following
Accrington v Notts County Over 1 goal + Over 8 corners
Barrow v Harrogate Over 1 goal + Over 7 corners
Bradford v Mansfield Over 1 goal + Over 5 Corners + over 0 goal Mansfield
Colchester v Walsall Over 1 goal + Over 7 corners
Milton Keynes v Crewe Over 0 goal Milton Keynes + Over 1 goal + Over 7 corners
Wrexham v Tranmere Over 0 goals + Over 4 corners Wrexham + Over 8 corners
That’s a lot of typing for a 10.7-1 shot but the database is still on trial 🙂

Hi
We are taking a bit of a risk today with one from our Winning Post Tips thread which will be
Thurles 3.40 Targo Flavia 16-1 but we have gone with 10-1 for 8 places
We have to use the 12 point option which will hurt if it loses but this one although not jumping that well first time out did clock a decent time and if improving for the run could a decent shout if he stays upright.

[Mike]

Hi
Here is todays racing update as we a lot going on…lol
Uttoxeter 3.00 Mr Incredible @ 11-2 for 5 places
Thurles 3.40 Gabriel Ranger @ 10-1 for 4 places
Thurles 3.40 Targo Flavia 16-1 but we have gone with 10-1 for 8 places
Thurles 4.50 Cloudy Fountain 14-1 but we are going with 10-1 for 6 places

Hi
I have an ante post wager for the Grand National today it is Mr Incredible but I would suggest taking the 40-1 with bet365 at NRNB (Non Runner No Bet).
Mr Incredible runs today in the Midlands Grand National which is the at 3.00 Uttoxeter currently priced up at 11-2 if you fancy a dabble. If he wins that his price will drastically shorten up for the Grand National in April.
The horse is a bit of a tinker and could win easily, refuse to race or bite the starter but it will be interesting to watch whatever he decides to do.
Whilst we are here, for those who followed the placepot at Cheltenham the rollover part of it will go over to Uttoxeter today which will be a lot easier to win, so I would suggest a small stakes dabble.

Hi
We had three out of six last week with the Basketball, Horse racing and one of the football bets coming in but obviously not a patch on the sixfold the previous week. We are heading into ridiculous territory this week with all six bets being on different sports.

Italy +7 to beat Wales @ 1-1 (Rugby)
Utah Jazz +3 to beat ATL Hawks @ 10-11 (Basketball)
Essendon to beat Hawthorns @ 4-5 (Aussie Rules Football)
Wyndham Clark to win the Players Championship @ 21-20 (Golf)
Thurles 2.30 Mister Policeman @ 8-13 (Horse Racing)
Tottenham to beat Fulham @ 19-20 (Football)

This weeks lottery numbers are the usual 4,7,16,23,31 and 50

[Mike]

Hi Suds
Although you did not win the placepot I am guessing your 12-1 win on Absurde made for a decent day at the office for you. ? 🙂
For us the wait is over and we return to the Irish Racing at Thurles tomorrow and will be looking to have a dabble at the following
3.40 Targo Flavia 16-1 or Gabriel Ranger 10-1 (will decide late tonight or early doors)
4.50 Cloudy Fountain 14-1 but we are going with 10-1 for 6 places

[Mike]

Hi
Well we only have the one day left of the festival and then we can return to normal. 🙂
Here is the last placepot selection and lets hope for a change of luck we had another couple of winners today and another couple placed, but they don’t count for the placepot unless you get one in all six races. 🙁
1.30 no 2 Ethical Diamond
1.30 no 12 Storm Heart
2.10 no 14 Faivoir
2.10 no 21 Afadil
2.50 no 2 Captain Teague
2.50 no 3 Chigorin
3.30 no 3 Fastorslow
3.30 no 4 Galopin Des Champs
4.10 no 5 Its On The Line
4.10 no 6 Premier Magic
4.50 no 1 Dinoblue
4.50 no 2 Allegorie De Vassy
As it is the last day we will throw in a cheeky each way double on Ethical Diamond @ 12-1 without both Majborough and Storm Heart along with Faivoir @ 12-1 for 6 places. 🙂

Hi
Apologies for the Players Championship wager as the competition had already started 🙁 but I will look for one for this weekend. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
It has been a funny old Cheltenham so far not helped by the Henderson yard having issues but at the halfway stage we are at last gaining a few well deserved points. Our best Cheltenham lines look to be ‘LS’ with three winners so far Gaelic Warrior, Corbetts Cross and Ballyburn they still have Teahupoo and Facile Vega running today and Fastorslow and Gerri Columbe in the Gold Cup on Friday.
The next best line would be ‘Suds’ with two winners so far Ballyburn and Lossiemouth, but also has Teahupoo,Facile Vega and Ahoy Senor running today. The bonus factor here is that both Captain Teague and Fastorslow are both entered to run in seperate races tomorrow.
I have a line with two winners Gaelic Warrior and State Man and also have two going today Stage Star and Brighterdaysahead along with Galopin Des Champs and Gerri Columbe in the Gold Cup Friday. ‘Rkay’ has two winners on the board Fact To File and Ballyburn but would need Ahoy Senor to win today plus Captain Teague and/or Bravemansgame to win tomorrow. It’s a tough ask but lets hope one of these could get to the four or five winner mark by the end of racing Friday.  🙂

Hi
I think going for the corner option for just one team was not the best shout as everything else came in but not one of those. 🙁
But we live and learn this is a relatively new database and we will be back in League 2 this weekend.
As for today Cheltenham has issues and the Irish racing is on hold so we will chance a football wager and go with a clean sweep for the England and Scotland teams tonight especially as there is a 12% bet boost on the acca with bet365.
West Ham @ 4-6
Rangers @ 15-8
Aston Villa @ 4-11
Liverpool @ 2-7
Brighton @ 8-11
With the bet boost this comes to a decent looking bet at just over 15-1

[Mike]

Hi
As mentioned yesterday and even though we once again managed a winner and a few places from our placepot entries this Cheltenham although great to watch is not really a betting proposition this year and I have the feeling there will be an awful lot more non runners by the morning.
As yesterday we will throw in a placepot as Wednesday traditionally does have a decent payout if you manage to get it right. The first day paid £45.10 to a £1 today was £179.10 to a £1 but tomorrow I would expect it to be the biggest payout so far.
I will list our suggested placepot but will not place it until about 10.30 when the non runners are declared
1.30 no 4 Ginny’s Destiny
1.30 no 5 Grey Dawning
2.10 no 8 Gowel Road
2.10 no 16 Gaoth Chuil
2.50 no 5 Envoi Allen
2.50 no 10 Protektorat
3.30 no 4 Crambo
3.30 no 5 Dashel Drasher
4.10 no 3 Il Ridoto
4.10 no 19 Frero Banbou
4.50 no 2 Brighterdaysahead
4.50 no 3 Jade De Grugy
Now there are some big priced selections in there that we may have a dabble it (assuming they run) if you fancy a punt.

Hi
Two bits of bad news for Cheltenham punters this morning the first is that the 4.10 the Cross Country Chase has been abandoned as the ground is waterlogged. The second is that Nicky Henderson is pulling his runners as it believed there is a health issue at the yard as his runners yesterday ran well below par. 🙁
This is some compensation for us as we had tipped up Excello (one of the yards runners) yesterday at a huge price only for the horse to tamely drop out and pull up two out. We also had another of the yards runners Jeriko Du Reponet in our main section which also pulled up so we may well keep an eye on both of these should they run again before the season finishes.
This has thrown our plans into chaos but that is why we usually stick to Irish Maiden racing and now treat the festival meeting as a spectacle to watch rather than to bet in. 🙁
We will revamp our placepot (below) as under the new setup you will need to put just one entry in the abandoned 4.10 race and it will be deemed a winning selection.

1.30 no 3 Il Atlantique
1.30 no 7 Predators Gold
2.10 no 2 Fact To File
2.10 no 4 Monty’s Star
2.50 no 11 Jigaro
2.50 no 21 Doddiethegreat
3.30 no 3 Edwardstone
3.30 no 2 Captain Guiness (to replace Jonbon)
4.10 no 2 Coko Beach (counted as winner)
4.50 no 2 Saint Roi
4.50 no 7 Calico
