Should've been better

Two winners on Saturday at Goodwood. Perfect Stride didn't live up to his name. Raith drew 2-2. Hibs were denied a 1-0 lead in the 4 minute by one of the worst offside decisions of the season i was sitting virtually in line and Shiels was a yard on who knows how game would've ended but 1 up and it's a different story. I think Celtic will win league. Weekend profit £210

Todays Bets

Warwick

2.15 Imperial Sword 4/1

3.15 Oat Cuisine 5/1

Hi Monte,

Glad to know i'm not alone out here. It's funny how i managed a visit to my mothers to coincide with Hibs playing Rangers at Easter Road. Well she always says i don't get through often enough. My method is picking out a few horses i fancy as winners then try and get as big a price as possible 4/1 about a 5/2 true odds chance as with Mujood or 11/10 about a 4/5 Cool Judgement which having watched the race 1/4 would've been fair. Ok these two won but long term if we can identify the value we win regardless of what happens any given day. Hibs at 5/1 were the call 2/1 being correct price in my humble opinion. All the accas factored in to Bigot brothers prices by bookies but how often do they and big 4 in England all win on same weekend. My Father in law (who was a bookie) his favourite analogy was you put 5 teams on bookie only needs 10% strike rate to beat you and 4 of your teams will be underpriced.

Hi Mark,

So a good Sunday made up for crap wedding funerals are sometimes better. Betfred laying £100 on line i doubt certainly not if they are standout price. Maybe get it on phone but again i find them hard to fathom they go a point bigger than everyone else phone them up and they come back with you can have £25. Nothing beats collecting fistfuls of money from bookie in the flesh rather than entries on a bank statement.

Well done .. i am now just waiting on JAKE THE SNAKE for bang on £1500 Lets hope it comes in, altho its a nice bet to no much layout and the way my lucks running..well !

Hi Mark,

Is this not your dream situation where you can make money whatever happens? I would lay Jake The Snake (pardon the pun) or a little in running trap odds on just in case. I know the gambler in us doesn't like to give winnings away but if you don't lose you can only win.

The gambler in me got the better today Mags.

Well thats the way it goes trying to be greedy eh ? I was thinking about that but i had a phone call so let it ride thinking my luck would pull me through.

Anyway Chester this week and WASAN is declared Thursday and should be a price....also a lot of other fancies.

Its easy to get complacent when your in front and thats what i have been guilty of today.

I should tighten my belt a bit i think as i have been guilty of looking for bets rather than them standing out.

Anyway onwards we go and upwardish again this week.

ONE BET

JUST ROB @ 7/1 CHEPSTOW 4.10

MARK BELLEW said...

Thats it found one where they are confidents of winning and got best price 4/1 @ BILLY HILLS

Therefore money for Chester i hope

CASH BET as right next to WILLIAM HILLS and as you say Mags you cant beat picking up CASH can you.

I thought it would be fun to actually pick up actual five ton in Nelson Eadies and keep this as my CHESTER travel drinks and cash betting funds for Thursday. I am going to spoil myself if it comes up, well i am going to spoil myself anyway....why not eh!

Thats it MAGS for today anyway.
