Daily Thread Monday March 5.

Racing today comes from Hereford and Lingfield.

Rough old day here, but thought the lightweight Alpha Way might take some running down at a nice price.

HEREFORD.
16:45 Alpha Way. cyc.

LINGFIELD.

Key thing today is for everyone to get on Hurricane Fly at 5/4 with Bill Hills. You then can add Bino/Zark into your bet as a saver and get a nice insurance for the big race.

I can't see the price lasting long!

 

[Grizzly]

Can't say I have any interest in racing prior to Saturday but, as a snippet of completely useless information, it could be this Lingfield meeting two years ago that produced a placepot payout of £1.80, making correctly predicting a horse in each of the first six races a 4/5 shot

 

[Cyclonic]

Great racehorse Nass, but 5-4 a couple of weeks out is pretty short. He seems to have the wood on them and on the day will be in the red and will probably win with a leg in the air, but too short for the likes of me.

 

[NassauBoard]

Cyc,

Firstly its non runner no bet, so the not turning up route is covered. As for the price, you are getting 5/4 about a horse who has been trading odds on for ages (even when full antepost prices), its brilliant value and one of the best prices I have seen for ages.

 

[OddDog]

Paddy Power 10/11 the Fly, most other firms 4/6

 

[stukova]

Totally agree Nass,got on earlier this morning,Think it will be odds on again by end of the day

 

[Cyclonic]

Money back makes sense Nass. That was the scariest part for me.

 

[Quelesprit]

Don't want to sound like billy big hollocks because i'm not but Nass, do you know if they've applied any max bet stipulations to that offer?

 

[Zenyatta]

Yes. I've heard max £100 but there are plenty only being allowed £10!

Hardly surprising though really.

 

[NassauBoard]

I didn't check to be honest, got £50 on

Lost all credibility for me then.
At least when Corals did their enhanced prices on selected horses leading up to 2010 festival it was unlimited - sadly they let me have bundles on Dunguib....

 

[Quelesprit]

That's crap!

What's the better offer? Paddy Power's Arkle offer or Will Hill's Champion Hurdle offer?

 

[Quelesprit]

We know Grizzly's feeling let down, so am I. If you're only being allowed a tenner on I'd be shutting my account.... if i had one with them.

Depends whether you fancy SS or not

Mate, I'm just saddened by the way bookmakers have changed over the years, limiting their exposure to a max payout of £125 is laughable, I'm glad I never saw any major advertising for this 'offer'...

 

[stukova]

I opened an online account with hills just to back The Fly and got £50 on no problem,so can't see why they'd only let people have tenner on

 

[Zenyatta]

They will limit the winners/arbers to £10.

 

[Quelesprit]

If you're a winning punter Stuk, they'll limit their exposure to your bets.

 

[Quelesprit]

Exactly Grizz, can you imagine getting all giddy about your banker bet of the festival and only being allowed a to bet a small percentage of it. To only offer £10 is a joke but I suppose they are a dreadful bookies for a reason.
