RobmullParticipantHi Mike,
Thanks for your kind comments.
I am not a lover of antepost betting and would normally probably wait until the day of the race to get involved, but 14/1 on BOB OLINGER was worth a punt, especially as the Stayers’ Hurdle is almost certain to be his only target at the Festival, so no need to consider which race he will run in and his NRNB odds will probably be around 8/1.
I had a thorough look at 4 races for tomorrow, but could only find one horse worth a punt.
LUCKY PLACE won the Relkeel Hurdle (2.35 Cheltenham) last year and whilst he has disappointed twice over fences this season, he should appreciate the return to hurdles and represents some value against the odds on favourite, so I have gone with 0.5 pts win @ 9/2 (Boosted Odds), plus 1.5 pts for a top 3 finish @ 10/21, both with B365.
Bank balance now 96 pts.
All the best,
Rob.
RobmullParticipantHi folks,
Me again!!
I don’t usually get involved in antepost betting, but I couldn’t resist investing 1 pt each way (1/5th odds for 3 places) on BOB OLINGER with Bet 365 who have boosted his odds from 10/1 to 14/1 for the Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Although he will be officially 11 years old tomorrow, he has not been overly raced, having just 20 career starts. He has won on each of his previous visits to the track, including the Stayers Hurdle last year where he beat the current favourite TEAHUPOO and recorded a career best RPR of 166.
His seasonal debut at Leopardstown on Sunday when finishing second behind TEAHUPOO was very promising as although he was beaten 7 lengths, he recorded an RPR of 160, which is his best effort away from his beloved Cheltenham.
Fingers crossed that he remains sound and makes it to Cheltenham, where I can see him galloping to the line, in a race where many of his main market rivals have questions to answer regarding either stamina and/or track suitability.
Bank balance now 98 pts.
All the best,
Rob.
RobmullParticipantHi folks,
It is quite a while since I posted to this thread, as I have been thinking through why the system turned from profitable to loss making in such a short period of time.
During my absence I have been paper trading the system selections, which have continued to show little in the way of encouragement.
The fact that the system was profitable throughout the first 6 months of the season, quickly dipped once the better quality horses started to participate in Irish Maiden hurdles, thus making them more competitive.
This suggests to me the system should be used seasonally from the beginning of May to the end of October, when the racing is far more mundane and the state of the ground is more consistent.
I therefore intend to wait until next May before reactivating the system.
All the best,
Rob.

Well that was close and a surprise, as I thought Suds had pipped me to the post, after LOVE ME TENDER was declared a non runner and ROMEO COOLIO was successful.
Thanks for putting up the free bets Mike and a great idea that Suds should be awarded one for just missing out.
Plenty of time for the other participants to catch up, as this competition is very much a long distance race and not a sprint.
All the best,
Rob.
RobmullParticipantRobmullParticipantRobmullParticipantHi Mike,
No problem- I hadn’t even noticed he was running until I viewed the results.
Great to see that this month’s competition will be going to the wire – good luck Suds with your selections.
Rob.
RobmullParticipantHi Mike,
Just noticed that you missed JIMMY DE SEIUL – 11.36 Fairyhouse today from your list of runners over the weekend, who was a late replacement on my list.
Rob.
