Hi
Christopher Gotterup is playing later and we will take the 150-1 for 8 places in the Farmers Insurance Open.

Hi
Al Gasparo not only obliged but actually ran a blinder and placed second at 50-1 behind our Ten To Follow entry Mirazur West. 🙂 Obviously we can only take the +2.80 on the day but it does take us up to a reasonable looking +24.25 kitty to play with. 🙂

Hi
A nice day at the office today 🙂 with all of the selections getting a return albeit only a +4 points on the day for the thread. However for those of you who took a punt at Al Gasparo he touched 100-1 this morning and was also available at 50-1 betting without the favourite (which won) a few hours before the off. 🙂

The bonus for the threads on the day was that in that 2.05 race the reult was as follows
1st Mirazur West 8-11 (This was our Ten To Follow competition horse)
2nd Al Gasparo 50-1 (This was our each way selection and was used in the Mike’s Retirement Plan thread)
3rd Jasmin De Cotte 20-1 (This was our back up plan which was not used)

As for tomorrow we have one to look at over at Gowran Park
1.05 Kilberry Saint @ 20-1 for 6 places

Hi
The boredom of playing safe in the football etc on the Mike’s Pension Pot thread has led to me the inevitable Long Shot punt for tonight
Fulham v Liverpool
BTTS and 2+ corners both teams both halves and 20+ booking points both teams. This comes out at 85-1 using bet builder on bet365 but with there 25% bonus offer hits the 107-1 spot which is worth a punt. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
All four runners go but we will be sticking with the first two bets from last night as the going/ground reports vary quite a bit this morning. 🙁
Hi Suds
Backinabit has unfortunately been declared a non runner and it would no surprise me that there will be a shed load of other runners doing the same thing with the uncertainty over the track conditions. 🙁

[Mike]

Hi
We have been waiting for a while now and this may be a mistake due to impatience but we are going to use one of our bets from tomorrows Winning Post Tips thread on here and will go with 2 points each way on the following runner.
Fairyhouse 2.05 Al Gasparo 66-1 but we have gone with the 12-1 for 8 places

[Mike]

Hi
We will try a couple of wagers over at Fairyhouse tomorrow in the hope the meeting goes ahead
2.05 Al Gasparo 66-1 but we will take the 12-1 for 8 places
2.05 Jasmin De Cotte 12-1 but we will be looking for a price without the favourite/s
2.40 True Testimony @ 7-2
3.15 Maxi Mac Gold @ 9-2
The two above will be done as an each way double

[Mike]

Hi
We had nothing at Navan yesterday and we are scratching for one today as the ground is still unsuitable even though they are going ahead. We will try this one assuming he runs. ?
Thurles 12.30 I Owe You One 20-1 but we have gone with 8-1 betting without Purse Price and Charlie Buckett

[Mike]

Hi
Well done Joe I was begining to get worried there but you got the banker in and damn close to the second bet coming in as well. 🙂 It’s nice that you stuck with it. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi Suds
I am laid up with man flu so will fill in a few of the blanks from the Pension Pot thread plus your Cardiff wager and a couple of random Basketball bets. However with the racing being postoned of late plus the occasional football bet, who knows what will transpire tomorrow. 🙂

Newport v Wrexham Over 9 corners + Over 1 goal @ 0.92-1
Harrogate Town v Grimsby Over 9 Corners + Over 1 goal @ 0.8-1
Cardiff +27 to beat Racing Metro @ 1-1
Navan 12.45 Betterdaysahead @ 6-4
PHI 76ers -5 to beat ORL Magic @ 20-23
DEN Nuggets +7 to beat BOS Celtics @ 10-11

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

Hi
Due to the adverse weather conditions the racing at Fairyhouse tomorrow has been abandoned.  🙁  This means the next opportunity we will have will be over at Navan on Saturday.  🙂

Hi
I have had a few queries over the “Rolling Maul” wager which I will try to explain in layman’s terms as best I can but I am sure I will be corrected by one of the Rugby pundits on here. 🙂
A “Rolling Maul” is a rugby term for a stage of play where as instead of running with the ball at speed and passing the ball along the line you would form a maul and slowly move forward. Now this maybe a boring way of doing it but you tend to keep possesion and it is the safer option. The “Rolling Maul” however must keep going forward and although it can be held up and occasionally move sideway’s, it must resume it’s forward momentum within a short space of time. It’s characteristics are very similar to a scrum whereby you are pushing against the opposition (in this case the bookmaker).
Transferring this to a bet means that insted of plodding along at 1 point per portion of the bet we must increase our stakes everytime we have have a win. The idea is avoid the thread becoming stale and to keep the interest going. In the old threads we used a different formula which is explained here Joes dream punt 🙂.
Confused ? So am I…:) Here are the stats for this thread which should help to clarify the situation bear in mind the stake option changes each day we have a bet not with every bet (its confusing enough already).
We gave ourselves a 10 point starting bank and used a 2 point start on the first bets at 1 point each way.
Cork 2.12 The Dawn 29-1 for 10 places getting a return of +6.80 Profit +4.80
Cork 12.12 The Dawn 35-1 for 9 places which got a return of +8 Profit +6
1.22 Cork 1.22 Glen Kiln 33-4 for 5 places returning +2.65 Profit of +0.65
We then had a bank of +21.45 our 10 point bank plus the days +11.45 profit
This meant having successfully used the 2 point option, for our next bet we had to up the stakes to a 3 point win bet or 1.5 points each way.
Naas 2.12 Lake Manzaleh 250-1 but we have taken 1.5 points each way 45-1 for 10 places. (loss -3)
This bet lost and we had now lost momentum (-3 points) and had only +18.45 in the bank but could stick with 3 point option so went with 1.5 points each way on the next wager.
Punchestown 12.55 Palamon 50-1 but we went with 1.5 points each way 15-1 for 10 places  return of  +6 Profit +3
This one won  so we are now back up to +21.45 in the bank so we now have to go in with a 4 point stake to keep the momentum going.
Phew…. 🙂

[Mike]

Hi
Both of the horses placed today but unfortunately we can only count Paloman for the site as I was busy trying to plaster a wall 🙁 and forgot to post the second one before the off. 🙁
We did get both for the main “Winningpost” thread so at least it was not a double disappointment. 🙂
However we had a +6 point return today so we are now up to +21.45 and the next bet will have to be a minimum of 2 points each way or 4 points win as we are sticking to the “Rolling Maul” wager.

[Mike]

Hi
Both Paloman and Bossofthebrownies placed today which got us nicely back on track with a +5.90 point profit on the day. There is nothing now until Thursday so hopefully see you then 🙂
