Makes perfect sense... its hard not to be a bit adventurous (greedy) though, especially - as I said, with small stakesQuote:

If he can keep up with the pace he will have a great chance at a big price(i backed him last year at much lower odds then that)
As i said, has'nt a hope unless the ground stays soft. Had a good win at Cheltenham last year(?) with Ruby on board came up the hill like a train and passed out about 10 horses to win(great stamina for a chaser) as i've said. That's at least two occassions i can remember him coming late like that and it's an indication he can last further
Agree with that. If you're only going to be betting a tenner a week it's easy to write off and the seldom occasion you click an accum will give you more pleasure than winning small money more often.Quote:

HE's bottom weight and Tony Martin is a very smart young trainer of handicap horses.
I would never bet on a Tony Martin horse,he can never be trusted.Quote:

Maybe you're just the one cursed Boss! ;)
I saw you tipped up Bilbao, backed them myself as I'd seen Espanyol play the last 2 weeks (0-4 A v Murcia, 0-3 H v Racing) but Bilbao were v lucky. It was all Espanyol in the second half and they even missed a penalty, I think some low flying aircraft may have been taken out by the penalty!
You should have a look around for better odds though, Bilbao were available at 5/4 in places, likewise Harps were as big as 15/8. You're doing yourself out of money by backing at short odds...
http://www.bestbetting.com
is a good odds comparison site, there's also a tab on it to let you know what free bets each company offer. I know it's hassle to open accounts with 5 or 10 different bookies but it's worth it in the long run...
Just a midweek bet I like the look of.
Airdrie at home to Ross County in Scots Division 2 @ 11/8.
Ross County won the league on Saturday so have obviously been on the **** all weekend. Airdrie are in second place in the league so will be looking to win to guarantee their playoff spot.
Ross County are obviously the better side but with nothing to play for away at the second best side in the division 11/8 with Betfred looks a bet to me.
Actually just on the note that I made above I had to open an account with them to get the bet on. They're offering a decent value free bet. They'll match your first bet up to €75 and then after 5 more bets of €15 or more they'll give you another €75 free bet.
I usually use oddschecker but I just give a guide price, I know you can get better value but you probably need 10 accounts, and 1 will just do me :D
Good tip there, thanks. :)Quote:

Things are changing :D
Got combined odds of over 8.5/1 for Swansea, Man Utd and Portsmouth which I thought was decent enough value. Obviously Pompey let the side down to make it 3 weeks running but they were all around the evens mark.
On a side note following Anto's advice, I'd noted that Lescott hadn't scored in a few games so made a mental note last week to put some cash on him as first and anytime goalscorer for the last few league games.....
then completely forgot about it when I was in the bookies on Saturday. Chance lost now I'd say :mad:
JC_GUFC reckons Drogheda are a good price at 4/5. I can only get 8/11 with Boyles.
Won 25 points yesterday on the Gaa bet, 6 of them going on the Drogs now and maybe 5 more closer to kick-off depending on team news.
Your not the only one that forgot to do that. Ive had such a bad run im down to 50 euro in the account i wont put any more in so my bets are gone very small. left off that lesscott one this weekend !!Quote:

Ok, so...
10 points Drogs 8/11
1 point Drogs -1 15/8
Tempted to put a bit more on, or maybe a double with Cork, but the amount of times I've won money 1 day and lost it all the next is stupid...
