I don't like to miss out on tips either. I was once in a bookies when i over heard an old bloke asking the cashier if any one had backed a 16-1 shot called Butler. He mentioned that he was related to someone who had some kind of investment with the horse and it would romp the race. He left the shop and I thought i'll have some of that and stuck £20 on it and shared the tip with my mates. Some declined the bet but one lad didn't and stuck £20 on it too. The horse romped home. Most money i've gambled on a horse too as i usually stick to football bets. Easiest £340 I've ever made and not a looted shop in sight
4:00 | 11 Grandad Bill (D Tudhope, 25-1 ); 7 Jonny Delta (G Bartley, 7-2 fav); 14 Jeu De Vivre (F Norton, 16-1 ); 12 ran. 6 Ejteyaaz (P Hanagan, 9-2 2nd-fav); Cheers trev £130 in my pocket
Should this not be incorparated onto the riots thread. as Grandad Bill was someone who i recognized walking out of Ealing high street with a 42" Plasma Screen?
I got that horse at 40/1 on betfair.com I placed £20 on it and it returned £761 it should return £820. Does anyone know why this happened? Mick maybe?
