Guess we’re all counting our winnings after backing the Irish National winner at 150/1.

Didn't have a bet in the race so it was great to see one of the smaller trainers and lesser known jockeys win it.

Anyone got a list or seen one anywhere of all different bookie offers per race?

Needs to stay on his feet and show he can stay the trip, if he does he's got a massive chance.

I cashed out mate as it wouldn't have paid a lot .

Iam on Waiting Patiently in the next in an extra place bet.

My placey is still going

I'm on him for the tipster comp but won't have a bet in the race.

Fingers crossed for us.

Well that has wiped out what I had left in my 365 account. I got Clondaw Castle to get placed as a last minute bet on Sky so Iam even stevens after three races I reckon.

Edit. The bet has been voided so they returned the stake , eh ?

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #4251 on:** April 8, 2021, 03:20:56 pm »

Not going well for me so far, had The Shunter, who would have won had he not jumped so badly in the home straight, then Adagio and Clondaw Castle. A real case of Seconditis.

kesey · « **Reply #4252 on:** April 8, 2021, 03:24:24 pm »

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #4254 on:** April 8, 2021, 03:37:20 pm »

Backed Abacadabras heavily at Cheltenham when it fell. Stupidly i didn't back it this time.

kesey · « **Reply #4255 on:** April 8, 2021, 03:44:55 pm »

Cat Tiger is my main bet ew and got a few reverse forecasts too . I've threw a small ew on Risk n Roll too as I've had four cans of guiness.

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #4256 on:** April 8, 2021, 03:47:08 pm »

Have backed Sametegal ew, hoping my luck will change. Did ok at Cheltenham, but not here so far.

Me too - my daughter lives not far from the Moore stables, and they always do well at Fontwell and Plumpton, their local tracks. Good to see them get a winner at a big meeting after the disappointments with Goshen (but it was Josh on board!)

Ah my bad had just assumed it was Jamie. I'll extend my delight to the whole family

WhoHe · « **Reply #4263 on:** April 9, 2021, 12:55:30 pm »

I will as usual be asked to put on the bets for the National tomorrow for most of the family and was wondering if there are any specific bookies better than others for tomorrow. I don't have an active online account (have a dormant 888 one) with anyone as I usually just go the bookies, I see BoyleSports are giving 7 places but assume odds will be a bit worse due to this so any pointers much appreciated.

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #4264 on:** April 9, 2021, 02:09:17 pm »

It's best to check on the morning of the race which bookies are offering silly place terms like 8 places etc. Some might offer things along the lines of money back if your horse fails to finish.

FlashGordon · « **Reply #4265 on:** April 9, 2021, 02:27:29 pm »

Fuck sake, had the first two winners in my initial selections

naYoRHa2b · « **Reply #4266 on:** April 9, 2021, 02:29:35 pm »

Did Dusart to win for the money back it comes 2nd or 3rd and did Belfast Banter each way. Panned out quite well!

Think someone's got a voodoo doll of me, sticking pins in it the way these 2 days are going, had Espoir De Romay there, which looked to be going much better than Chantry House.

Gutting that. Was going great till the last and saw off the whole field bar Chantry House.

Robinred · « **Reply #4270 on:** April 9, 2021, 03:41:08 pm »

Fakir D’Oudare would almost certainly have won anyway, but talking out of my pocket, I’m pissed off that Nut’s Well got mugged by Cobden. The twat wins lots of races for Nichols, but he’s kryptonite to this punter; if I bet on him he falls off, but if I’m second, it’s guaranteed he’s on the winner😡

Rant over.

kesey · « **Reply #4271 on:** April 9, 2021, 03:59:30 pm »

I haven't had a bet today . I've just threw something on Modus and Robin Des Foret ew .

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #4272 on:** April 9, 2021, 04:01:54 pm »

Had a non-runner in the last, so stuck a tenner on Fakir D'Oudairies, finally got my first winner of the 2 days.

naYoRHa2b · « **Reply #4273 on:** April 9, 2021, 04:02:40 pm »

Fakir d'oudairies looked class there to be fair. Done modus and visioman ew here and the missus has done LiveLoveLaugh to win off errr my persuasiveness..*cough cough*

I saw pink eye Pedro and it just made me think of a scene from the film superbad!

Few quid up on the whole today so not bad..

Me old mate and fav jockey JJ Codd gonna bring home some £££ for me today on Milan Native.

Still riding as an amateur (his choice) but turns up at the big meetings.

Didn’t realise he was riding Cause of Causes in 2017 and came 2nd.

Had a decent EW hit at 50/1

Of the main contenders I really fancy Magic of Light to win at 16/1

Few quid EW on Yala Enki too at 50’s

Good luck everyone and here’s to a LFC/JJ Codd double

Snail · « **Reply #4279 on:** April 10, 2021, 12:18:37 pm »

Only time I bet, so I've just wasted £20 on Burrows Saint to win 9/1 and Mister Malarky EW 14/1. Made a cool £30 back in 2019, any extra beer tokens will do me.

I will now leave the thread to the experts
