Flowers. Nothing says "I'm a degenerate gambler" than coming home from the bookies with flowers

Except giving the gift of small pens...

Help...

Don't really know how accumlators work so a bit of help needed. I had one one today

Wichita Lineman @ 11 - 2 (GP) - Win
Celestial Halo @ 9 - 1 (GP) - 2nd place
Garde Champetre @ 7 - 2 (GP) - Win
Quevega @ 9 - 4 (GP) - Win

I threw �2.00 on it each way, What returns should there be on it ?

Ah jeez, if I came home with flowers to the missus there would be trouble.

Nothing says "Im guilty" like a bunch of flowers. :p

Just an aside but you'll get much better prices that the above on betfair bennocelt,Ballyfitz is about 24/1 and Cadspeed is 27/1 for example.Mikael D'Haguenet my nap for Tuesday.

yeah thats for sure i know that:)
have a betfair account but when im on that site my gambling tends to increase, and to be honest im not doing too much gambling at the moment - im taking a break - a small one - hence me gambling on the gee gees with 30!!!! last year it was 50 squid per race!!!!:)

also i find the betfair account is not user friendly, but then that could be just me too!

Here are my "Tips"!!!!!!!!!

1.30 Go Native 10/1

2.02 Made a Taipen 25/1

2.40 Wichita Lineman 5/1

3.20 Binocular 13/8

4.00 Garde Champetre 7/2

4.40 Chomba Womba 13/2

with the bad weather, and lack of form for many - i think Cheltenham could be up in the air for everyone
Anyway hopefully it wont be as bad as last year:)

bennocelt 3 nice winners today... any more tips for 2morrow :D

Had four winners yesterday. Go native, Forpaddydaplasterer, Garde Champetre and Quevega. Didn't bet much. 100sek was the most I put on unfortunately.

Not sure who to go for today but got the urge to go heavy on Masterminded.

two winners today - fingers crossed i can beat my record of 7 cheltenham winners:)
just broke even today though, so up 60 quid (won 3 euros - yippee!)

tomorrow will be a tough one me thinks

1.30 Northern Alliance 7/1, come on Ruby - hope he didnt tire himself out today

2.05 Synchronised 10/1

2.40 Tidal Bay 8/1 but this race sure will be quality - should be a good race

3.20 Shakervilz 50/1 - has form, is a Mullins horse, and has Townend on it - im wondering is there something i dont know about this horse?

4.00 Finger on the Pulse 10/1

4.40 Le Duc 25/1 - one last win maybe?

My bets tomorrow are on:

1.30 - Mourad - ew - 16/1

2.05 - Sunnyhillboy - to win - 7/1

2.40 - Cape Tribulation - to win - 7/2

3.20 - Denman - to win - 6/1 - he has to beat Kauto Star sometime in the big one so I reckon this will be it.

4.00 - Royal Auclair - ew - 10/1

4.40 - Buena Vista - ew - 12/1

5.15 - Tiger cry - ew - 10/1

The Gold cup should be a cracker anyone of 4 can win it, I wouldn't bet against Exotic Dancer coming in the placings either at a good price.

I have a tenner on Sunnyhillboy in the second race, 7/1 are great odds imo.

1.30 - Ebadiyan ew
2.05 - sesenta ew, sunnyhillboy win
2.40 - On raglan road ew
3.20 - Denman, albertas run ew
4.00 - Juveigneur
5.15 - clew bay cove ew

As Osar said - last year he won, and won it relatively easy
The only thing abut Denman is Sam Thomas is on him, and he is useless (imagine if a good irish jockey like Geraghty was on him?)

Heres hoping for Sunnyhillboy anyway:)
