Hi Suds
We had one basketball, one football and a rugby treble in last week so we wiped our nose on the day for another win.
This week we are going with the following wagers
Ospreys -1 to beat Sale Sharks @ 10-11
DAL Mavericks -1.5 to beat GS Warriors @ 10-11
Kempton(AW)4.25 Notable Speech @ 8-11
Akshay Bhatia to win the Valero Texas Open @ 7-5
Sutton v Stockport Over 0 goals for Sutton + over 3 corners Sutton + over 3 corners Stockport @ 9-4
Tranmere v Walsall Over 0 goals Tranmere + Over 5 corners Tranmere + Over 3 corners Walsall @ 5-2
The acca comes to a reasonable 170.86-1 for those looking for a long shot punt.

Hi
Well which idiot had to say it “What could possibly go wrong” oh.. it was me 🙁 we got our first slapped arse of 2024 yesterday but we were long overdue so “Que sera sera” (whatever will be will be). There is no racing due to abandoned meetings over the next few days and we are always dangerous after a loss so it gives us time to recover… 🙂
The one issue we have is the removal of decent each way extra pricing by bet365 which has been our go to bet for the last few years and that means a rethink so it may be time to consider the “Betfair exchanges”. I would not have attempted this whilst I was working but now retired it could be perfect timing. 🙂
Expect a few Baldricks (cunning plans) over the next few weeks which may crash and burn or…:)

Hi
We walked away with our first slapped arse of 2024 yesterday as we could not even get one in the frame and dropped 14 points which leaves us now on +108.05 and staring a 15 point bet in the face. 🙁
However yesterdays result was not really the downside as we expect to take a few slaps during the course of a year (it is impossible not too) but the killer for us was bet365 last week drastically reducing the prices on each way extra options. This has been our main source of income for quite a while and we were forced into yesterdays standard wager. It was not a disaster as three of our selections finished within two lengths of making the frame so it was not as bad as it first looked but the loss of the each way extra option will effect the way we bet.
With the bad weather back in and the likelihood of most of the weekends Irish NH racing being abandoned it means we are scratching for a bet but will give us time to regroup. 🙂

Hi
We have a 13 point bet option but have used 14 points on the three mentioned last night in the Winning Post Tips thread.
3.40 Papa Barns @ 8-1 for 6 places
4.10 Gabriel Ranger @ 14-1 for 6 places
4.50 Jeronimo De L’ouch @ 9-2 for 6 places
We missed last nights early prices but its swings and roundabouts as some prices have gone up and some down. We will use them in an 1 point each way patent which totals 14 points.  🙂

Hi
In the 2.10 Touch Me Not is a big drifter in the markets and there are no decent odds on Targo Flavia (bet 365 are offering 27/4 for 10 places which is pathetic for a 200-1 shot).So we will leave those with the exception of possibly backing them without the favourites if you are desperate for a bet.
2.40 The Great Unknown has been backed and is worth a punt in mixed doubles with the three already backed last night. The issuse here is that the price is short considering there are only 3 places available.
3.10 Aero’s Luck is friendless probabaly due to the ground but again if he runs a bet without the favourite looks best.
We are happy enough with the three we put up last night and will stick with those. 🙂 BOG (best odds guaranteed) is available on most races so do not worry too much about price fluctuations.
The possible exception is we are going to try a cheeky long shot acca using Touch Me Not (without the favs), The Great Unknown and Aero’s Luck (without the fav’s) along with the three from last night. (What could possibly go wrong…lol)  🙂

[Mike]

Hi
We are quite keen on the tips in the main Winning Post Tips thread for tomorrow (over at Naas) so watch this space as we may go in again as we deem were a tad unlucky last time.

[Mike]

Hi
I cannot see anything over at Clonmel but we do like the following at Naas
2.10 Touch Me Not 9-2
2.10 Targo Flavia 150-1
2.40 The Great Unknown 8-1
3.10 Aero’s Luck 14-1
3.40 Papa Barns @ 9-1 for 6 places
4.10 Gabriel Ranger @ 11-1 for 6 places
4.50 Jeronimo De L’ouch @ 9-2 for 6 places
We have gone in with the highlighted options as usual and will wait for the extra markets to see if we can get a decent price on any of the others.

[Mike]

Hi
We did not get much of a chance to update today but here are todays results
Cork 1.48 Driscolls Hill 22-1 Placed
Cork 2.23 Macinamillion 11-1 Won
Cork 2.23 Aboy Joey 20-1 Placed
Fairyhouse 2.05 Boher Road @ 25-1 for 5 places (Crashed out when well clear)
Fairyhouse 3.15 Western Fold 16-1 (lost)
Not a bad little haul on the day even if we cannot claim them for the thread.  🙁
Nothing now until Thursday I believe. ?

[Mike]

Hi
After the disappointment of Boher Road doing a demoltion derby on the third last fence in the 2.05 at Fairyhouse it was nice to get a return here. 🙂
Mansfield v Accrington Over 1 goal in the game + Over 4 corners Mansfield + over 3 corners Accrington @ 8-5 Abandoned
Morecombe v Barrow Over 0 goals Morecombe + over 4 corners Barrow @ 6-5 Won
Sutton v Swindon Over 0 Goals Sutton + Over 4 corners Sutton + over 2 corners Swindon @ 11-8 (lost by one Swindon corner)
Tranmere v Colchester Over 0 goals Tranmere + Over 4 corners Tranmere + over 3 corners Colchester @ 8-5 Won
Including the abandonded game and bearing in mind we had to use a 19 point bet (as we always have to stake more than the last wager) our 6 x 3 point win doubles and 1 point acca returned +31.16 which is a tidy enough +12.16 point profit on the day.
We now have to use more than 19 points on the next bet but now have a running total of +58.61 to play with. The profit on the actual bet to date is actually +42.61 (when we deduct the intial stake used).

[Mike]

Hi
It was all going so well….lol. I will admit to being quite sweet on Boher Road and approaching three out with just 1/2 mile to go he was 10 lengths up and travelling well. 🙂 Then for some reason he decided to jump across the fence through the wings exiting the track and crashing out, then getting up and jogging off. 🙁
Never mind it happens, but I must have done something really bad in a previous life to deserve that. We dropped 13 points on the day and now stand at +122.05 points but the 13 points option is still available.

[Mike]

Hi
This may well be withdrawal symptoms due to no Irish Racing lately but we will be looking at one from the main thread over at Fairyhouse today. We will be looking to split the bet into the each way extras assuming he runs.
2.05 Boher Road currently 28-1 for 5 places but now available at 19-2 for 10 places and 21-2 for 9 places etc

[Mike]

Hi
That went realy well with us only missing out 1 of the 16 predictions coming in and a big heads up for Suds for helping me with the Rugby spreadsheet. 🙂
Connacht +14.5 to beat Benetton + under 50.5 points in the game @ 10-11 Won
Edinburgh +14.5 to beat Sharks + Under 56.5 points in the game + Sharks more penalties than tries in the game @ 8-5 Won
Ospreys + 5.5 to beat Lions + Under 59.5 points in the game + more tries than penalties in the game @ 6-4 Won
Ulster +19.5 to beat Stromers + Over 39.5 points in the game @ 8-11 (Lost)
Cardiff +24.5 to beat Munster + Under 64.5 points in the game + more tries than penalties in the game @ 8-11 Won
Glasgow -2.5 points to beat Scarlets + over 33.5 points in the game + Glasgow more tries than penalties @ 8-11 Won
This means we ended up with 30.45 point profit and only missed out on a bonus 63-1 acca by the smallest of margins. 🙁
But this gives us a total of 46.45 in the kitty to play with. 🙂
We had said we use the rolling maul wager to keep the interest going so here goes using the League 2 football today.
Mansfield v Accrington Over 1 goal in the game + Over 4 corners Mansfield + over 3 corners Accrington @ 8-5
Morecombe v Barrow Over o goals Morecombe + over 4 corners Barrow @ 6-5
Sutton v Swindon Over 0 Goals Sutton + Over 4 corners Sutton + over 2 corners Swindon @ 11-8
Tranmere v Colchester Over 0 goals Tranmere + Over 4 corners Tranmere + over 3 corners Colchester @ 8-5
These are a riskier proposition but we are attempting to keep the maul going so its doubles with the odd extras going onto to an acca.

[Mike]

Hi
Gold Dancer 14-1 and Any Road 9-1 both placed and with Cher Why Not being a non runner we ended up wiping our nose on the day so its on to tomorrow with no damage done. 🙂
Cork 1.48 Driscolls Hill 22-1
Cork 2.23 Macinamillion 11-1 (4 places)
Cork 2.23 Aboy Joey 20-1 (4 places)
Fairyhouse 2.05 Boher Road @ 25-1 for 5 places
Fairyhouse 3.15 Western Fold 16-1 (4 places)
We do like Boher Road and if confirmed the 10-1 for 10 places looks a banker, we will update the thread in the morning. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
We have manged to whittle down the list from last night and will go with the following
Fairyhouse 2.00 Joyeaux Vivo @ 8-1 (5 places)
Fairyhouse 3.10 Gold Dancer @ 14-1 (4 places)
Fairyhouse 3.45 Angostura @ 10-1
Cork 4.05 Any Road @ 9-1
Cork 4.40 Cher Why Not @ 14-1
Unfortunately we have missed a few of the best prices but the above have been done as each way doubles and an each way accumulator 🙂 We would have gone in with a few of the other ones but as an example in the 1.25 the prices were pathetic in the each way extra markets so we decided not to use them (on here) but we still fancy that our two selections will make the top ten.
