I'm starting with a bank of 300 points and when that's gone, I'll go with another bank of 300 points. Along the way, I'll be banking bits of winnings as I go. I can see how duel use of the word "bank" will be confusing so they will be called "Betting Bank" and "Banked" It may seem to a casual observer to be pretty random and it will sometimes look like I'm chasing when I increase the amount staked but I can assure you that it is based on a fairly rigid staking plan (if that's not an oxymoron) so we'll see how we go.
Good luck ODM. Just when you mention BOG I notice Sky have changed their terms for BOG to bets only placed after 9am. Robbing bastards. Not good for me who starts work at 8am and is not allowed mobile phones on site. Only option is for me to go out to car at lunchtime. (or to use a different bookie). Twats.
Yeah mate, with the financial conditions being what they are and the bookies losing all that lovely profit over the last three months I can see BOG going altogether to be honest.
Bet 1 lost. Mutasaamy is drifting very close to even money and if it does, that will be bet 2 for 20 points at evens but I will post before the off if it does and that's five minutes away
Could be worse, they could lose their backbone altogether like Boylesports and restrict you to max winnings of 26p....
It'll be interesting to see the stats for short priced favs over the next few weeks, with so many unknowns regarding fitness etc I wouldn't be wanting to take a short price on anything really. The formbook might be worthless for these early meetings back.
First two favs at Newcastle both unplaced (15/8 and 4/5) so I would presume there's money to be made laying them in the place markets (although I am completely aware that as soon as I start laying them they'll start rolling home ).
Been there and done that mate, about five years ago with that particular bunch of clowns. At least I did happen to take some money off them, it's the ones that ban me when I'm losing money with them that really make my blood boil. It's just incompetence.
Well done mate - the problem is by the time you see the 1.09 the fast-pic thieves have gotten their grubby hands on it first
This was well after they'd gone past the post mate but before the replay. There is usually plenty of time for me to lay the one that the commentator has called if I doubt their judgement, it's not only the fast pic peeps that fuck me up (although it would explain the price drift but it was still odds on) IT'S THE USELESS CUNTS AT BETFAIR. Suspending the market for no fucking reason whatsoever. There is no standard process it's just like some twat is sitting in a chair and suspends it whenever they feel like it and sometimes keeping it suspended until the result is called. There is no need for the market to be suspended at all. Same with football matches, they can suspend a game when a goal goes in and often another goal can be scored before the USELESS CUNTS have opened up the markets again. I understand that not everyone is watching the game and fair enough, there should be a modicum of protection for them but it would be enough to flash up PENALTY or something to stop people from placing bets when a penalty had been awarded. I'd like to go further and leave the market open for the whole game. That way you can back you judgement on whether you think a penalty will be scored or a man sent off or whatever. I reckon it is THE most annoying thing about betting when I want to do something and the market are suspended for no logical reason But, getting back to the photo-finishes, obviously it doesn't happen that often that the circumstances all fall into place that here is one and I happen to be at my machine watching AND the useless cunts at betfair happen to have it open in the short space of time before the replay but I reckon I profit 7 times out of every ten if I have an opinion remembering that, if you're laying at odds on (which I always am) a dead heat is also a profit. I know there are tracks with notorious bad angles and I would put more time into studying which side they favoured if there were enough of them to make it worthwhile. I actually had two winning photos in the space of 20 minutes not long ago. I thought it was this year but I've flicked through my phone looking for the text that I sent to my mate when it happened but can't find it. There was one embarassing time that I got it wrong at York races. It was the second race and I had had two bets on course with the same bookie (I was struggling to get a 3G connection). My horse flashed past the post with another and I ripped my ticket up (along with the ticket for race one which, of course, was exactly the same as the ticket for race one as it was before the paper printouts). Mine was called the winner and so it was an interesting game of jigsaw to try to get the right fucking bits of the right ticket to get paid out.
The football one gets me, I was doing abit of I play goal line bets and whoever the useless prick is who can't press the fucking unsuspend button has cost me so much fucking cash.
Starting bank 300 . 1 losing bet of 20 pts so far Bet 2 will be Topdog's Galsworthy in the 430 tomorrow at evens (BOG).
