Bookie Bashing 2018/19 Season

[BoomtownHibees]

Klassical Dream ran beautifully. Hopefully Min can do the same.

What the hell is this Punchestown course? There are hills on the flat, then there are 'embankments' they have to run up and down. I've never seen anything like it. Is this unique to Irish racing?

Not Irish racing as such, just Punchestown I think

Some of the races are cross country - nae rails, hills, all sorts. I wondered what they were doing :greengrin

K Dream could well be next year's Champion Hurdle winner. Wish I could've heard Mullins interview.

Did you back him, mate?

[BoomtownHibees]

Cheltenham too.

Aye Cheltenham as well but I meant in response to whether it was “Irish Racing” that is like that. As far as I know it’s not all Irish courses that are like that, Punchestown is the only one I can think of

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Did you back him, mate?

Nah, was happy to watch.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Sounds good but you know and I know there is always one

Un De Sceaux to take Min on :greengrin

Great call mate; Un De Sceaux too good for min. £50 loss for me. That's the way it goes.

Two odds on favourites only second for me. I really need Surfman to come in later!

[Hibeesmad]

Spurs v Ajax

Lucas and Eriksen to have 1 shot on target, £50 on @ 9/5

Each team to have 2 or more corners in each half, £20 on @ 16/5

[Hibernia&Alba]

Festival Dex provides redemption. Fiver each way at 9/1 wins £66.25 :agree:

If anyone had an EW on runner up, Whatsnottoknow, you'll be very happy at 66/1

Roseman stormed in; I doubled up with him and Surfman.

Surfman basically walked around on the dirt at Newcastle and won by ten lengths plus. He was far too good and is an entry for The Derby. He was 1/8 by post!

Peterborough 3-2 up.

[Larry Burns]

It flashed up 3-2 to Pompey then changed 3-2 to Peterborough

[Smartie]

Whoever suggested under 2.5 goals in the Spurs game, thank you.

I saw the sense in that one and lumped on.

[flash]

Not sure where the goals will come from without Kane and Son. I reckon under 2.5 goals could be the call in this one as neither team would be too upset with a goalless draw.

Sadly for Spurs turned out to be the case. Pretty sure under 2.5 goals will be a good price tonight too. Rare that both teams go for it in the first leg of a semi.

[Larry Burns]

Whoever suggested under 2.5 goals in the Spurs game, thank you.

I saw the sense in that one and lumped on.

Same it was a good tip. Feared the worst after Ajax scored early on but there were few clear cut chances for either side after.

Not sure what to make of Barca v Liverpool tonight so I will be steering clear of it.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Got this as a both teams to score tonight on my coupon. I struggle to see this Liverpool side not scoring in any game, regardless of the opposition or venue. Class side. Was actually leaning towards an away win.

[LustForLeith]

Two match the 2 year old criteria I mentioned before.

Ascot 2.15 Lady Pauline

Pontefract 2.25 Xcelente

Desert Icon won, but it's neither here nor there now.

Hope for better at Punchestown. I much prefer the longer races, especially over jumps :agree:

[The 90+2]

Verona getting absolutely horsed at home 😳

[Hibernia&Alba]

Races less than a mile now joining Koln, Sunderland and Aberdeen on my banned list. Pish. :greengrin

[Hibernia&Alba]

Rennes at around 5/2 at home Monaco tonight looks very good. Monaco are having a shocking time.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Got winner and a place in the first at Punchestown. Had both EW. Better :agree:

£5EW Musical Slave 7/1 (won)
£2.50 EW Kilbarry Lily 22/1 (placed)

Betfair offered five places

[Hibernia&Alba]

£10 EW on Voix Des Tiep on the next at Punchestown at 4/1

[LaMotta]

Liverpool to have at least 1 card in each half @21/20.

Messi and Suarez to have over 1 shot on target each @19/10.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Anyone got a bet on the Gold Cup at 18:05? Bellshill, Al Boum Photo and Kemboy having a replay of their Cheltenham battle. Should be a cracker. Kemboy for me!

[Hibernia&Alba]

Liverpool to have at least 1 card in each half @21/20.

I think I'll have a wee Barca/Rennes double.

[Hibernia&Alba]

£10 EW on Voix Des Tiep on the next at Punchestown at 4/1

Only fifth. Led until the second last but then looked very tired. Seemed to go out a little too fast, though I'm no expert to judge.

[LaMotta]

I think I'll have a wee Barca/Rennes double.

Rennes a very good price and also have a good recent record vs Monaco.

[easty]

Rennes a very good price and also have a good recent record vs Monaco.

They are, but I'm always really wary about backing teams at the end of the season, when they've nothing to play for. Monaco still need points, Rennes playing for nothing.

[SRHibs]

Derby 2/1 away to Swansea feels like a good price. A win for them all but secures their place in the playoffs.

[Hibernia&Alba]

They are, but I'm always really wary about backing teams at the end of the season, when they've nothing to play for. Monaco still need points, Rennes playing for nothing.

This is true, but I'm hoping Monaco are feeling the pressure.

Get in there Kemboy. What a battle between him and the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo. Two magnificent horses.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Rennes a very good price and also have a good recent record vs Monaco.

Rennes 2-0 up inside ten minutes :aok:

[Cod Boy]

Messi anytime goalscorer

Spennymoor and Altrincham to win

[Hibernia&Alba]

Already on with 3.00 Desert Icon and 6.15 Sashenka slightly over 4/1 for a bit of value

Fingers crossed

Sashenka also ran poorly and was easily beaten into second. Of the five very short odds favourites on my acca only Calyx and Desert Icon won. A few very poor runs in there.

[LaMotta]

Rennes 2-0 up inside ten minutes :aok:

You persuaded me to take Rennes in a treble, albeit with Liverpool and Derby. Just a small bet :greengrin

Great for Ruby to announce his retirement on a high. Probably the most talented horseman of a generation and a better natural jockey than McCoy (AP said as much himself). Good time for him to go though as I think he was on the downgrade.

If anyone uses Betfair, they are offering four places on the 19:10 at Punchestown, in a twelve horse race, so it might good for an EW.

Livelovelaugh for me.

[The 90+2]

Rennes at around 5/2 at home Monaco tonight looks very good. Monaco are having a shocking time.

Have a tenner on it mate thinking of cashing out at £24.39 as I think they will tire from the weekend. Have Higgins in the snooker @5/2 and got £20 on Barca -1 tonight.

Not one hundred per cent confident on Ucello Conti later, but sentiment will get the better of me. He's one of the horses I have to back no matter what, same as Altior, though I never doubt the latter.

Reminds of childhood, when my dad would always back Desert Orchid, even when he was past his prime. Seeing them win is better than the winnings.

It's difficult to explain to folk that don't get it that in horse racing there's more to the game than just collecting your winnings. Good Luck 🙏

I believe Frankel had an abnormally large heart which some have said gave him an advantage, I'm sure the breeding must've helped too.

[Hibernia&Alba]

The greats Phar Lapp and Secretariat had hearts over twice the normal size. It must be a massive plus for racehorses; a freak of DNA.

I'm usually cautious and expect the worst, thus I play it safe to minimise losses when uncertain. Very poor run from City Island meant zero.

Less than I put on, but would have meant losses cut. He was pulled up anyway; possibly the end of him? He's given me many good races.

You have to have a cut off price for e/w. I wouldn't go under 5/2 and usually only against an overhyped odds on shot.

For the sake of a couple of quid surely a score win is the way forward @ EVS.

I'm a bit wary of backing teams with nowt to play for, we'll soon see.

Having said that I'm tempted to back Everton ht-ft too, will probably wait and see what's happening after 30 mins in the RB game.

£20 win. Let's see how he goes.

[Pretty Boy]

I've had a wee dabble on Advertise in the Guineas. Debatable whether he will get the mile but he plugged away nicely over 7f last time and just ran into one too good. His Curragh win over 6f is some of the best form on show imo.

Got a Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U, Barca 5 fold. I know Barca will play a weak side, but the amount of quality they have, 3/1 still feels good.

On a non-betting note, not sure if anyone has had this before, but Virgin Gaming just me a £55 bonus out of nowhere, with only 1x wager. Just got £213 back within 5 mins and withdrew.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Maqsad looks like one to follow after its performance in the 1645 at Newmarket. In its previous race at Newmarket the first two were about 15 lengths clear of the 3rd. Probably worth watching out for the 2nd from that previous race too.

One of the few bright spots for me this weekend. Had tenner on him at 6/5. He looked very good.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I'm a wee bit in front, absolute nonsense defending in their respective 2nd halves from Arsenal & Man Utd stopped it from being quite a profitable day.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Incredible stuff. I don't think I've ever before seen a 1/12 horse actually, even in a match race, but the Hamilton race had five runners I think.

Just checked: It came second: Al Hadeer in the 16:20. Winner was 7/2, six ran!
