Betting Matters....

[Kells]

What about all the honest jockeys? Hands and heels all the way to the line, all of them......

[Kingy]

A little birdie told me that Harry Findlay did his total bollocks on Tiger last week end and had every available penny piece on going in to the last round - now potless (again) wonder if he'll be selling Denman and the rest or offering 10p in the pound back like he did last time ?

[????]

Bollox united.

My bet on the aussies at 5s looks nice to lay off any time soon...and don't tell Jah but I had a reasonable lump on Spuds pre-season which will be traded off nicely methinks. Anyone had anything at York other than that wonderful horse? RD? MM? very quiet on here

[Mick Mac]

Nope, nothing - actually Quids believe it or not I used to not bet frequently - hence I was careful and profitable - before I started posting on here I picked my bets quite carefully.

Anyway - My prominent next "intended" bet is, surprise surprise, on Rip van winkle for the Irish Champion Stakes on 5 Sep.

Just going to check the odds.....

5 September is also my birthday!!! so I'm deciding whether that should mean I bet more or less, as a present to myself.

[Mick Mac]

Seems to be between Fame and Glory and See the Stars - never heard of either of 'em. Rip is the king.

[????]

I was going to ask if the Betting thread had been a bad influence...and there, we have the answer!

[????]

BTW...Kingsgate Native in the big one at York today

[red devil]

I'm going for 'Big Tits coming up on the rails...'

[????]

I see what you did there RD

[red devil]

It was the cleanest bit I remembered from when I first heard it - a gang of sniggering 6th formers huddled around the 'stereo centre' (remember those!) in the smoking room...

[????]

Had a good day....

Had Oz at 6s after they lost at Lord's......on Friday lunch England were 8s so bet that!!! Then last night the draw was 15/1....never ever going to happen with the weather forecast and 6 sessions remaining there was always going to be a result so I laid everything that I could on Betfair,,,a little bit of a squeaky bum bet as it would have wiped me out but I like to think I'd have done it with 10x the amount if I'd had that in my account as it was a no brainer...

[????]

Oz at 6s for the series BTW, not this test

[????]

I'm worried I'm going to be getting MM evicted from his home BUT why has the betting frenzy died down?

Portsmouth now 1.9 to go down on Betfair so traded my 6 from a few weeks ago - happy days and cash back in my account

[Kells]

???? - I think it's the lack of cash in my account! Nice trade btw, I had traded spurs....but I need some tips now

[red devil]

How about backing the first Premiership manager to get the sack - Hart, Martinez, Megson?..

[????]

Don't think Pompey could afford to sack Hart! Lay him :-S

I've just traded my Spuds bet looking at their next few games...

Worry not Quids - as long as I continue to earn more than ?100 per month I should be ok. I realised I was betting on all and sundry since starting this thread in an attempt to show my sporting expertise??? unsuccessfully - .......I have reverted to my normal pattern of regular carefully chosen bets.

I see Rip is not running until 26 September now at Ascot. The Irish Champion Stakes is interesting in that STS is well behing Fame and Glory in the betting. Rip not running though so may pass.

I have a lump on Arsenal now for the Premiership, that gives me someone to support this year.

Have a "saver" on Chelsea and unless Man.City buy 6 more Superstars then go to the "Pay" window and collect at the end of the season.

Suddenly guys like Nani, who only got a brief look in b4, are the players United are relying on.

You don't win Leagues if players like Giggs ( 2009 version) are still part of your plans ( "2002" was a different thing!)...

[Mick Mac]

I do already have a saver on Chelsea Tony - at 2/1. It does not completley cover my Arsenal bet but its nice to have some insurance.

Happy not to have chosen MU or Liverpool this year. Not convinced by either at this stage. And can't believe any other team in with a chance of winning without a couple of years of challenging first.

[????]

I think Arsenal do look good vaue as they have been the best team imo thus far.....don't tell Atila

[Mick Mac]

Atila and I will be having a joint celebration in the "Gooner" pub in Highbury come April 2010.

[Mick Mac]

Have had a small punt of Andy Murray for the US Open at 4/1 to win his first grand slam.

[Mick Mac]

And while I'm on a roll - I have backed Fame and Glory to beat the legendary STS on Saturday.......on the basis that the ground is already a bit on the soft side and I can't see it stopping raining in Ireland, ever.

[????]

mmmm....

[Mick Mac]

Yes - I'm determined to be on the horse that finally beats STS....and it might be this weekend.
