The £10k Betting Experiment (Stage 1) - FINISHED

WH have gone 2/1on Black Caviar. I'm sure that is temporary so I'll have another £1,000 win at 2/1on.

BET VOID Odds not available although still showing 1/2 by RP all day and still is at 5pm on Thursday

 

Eh?

 

Should have just put 1/2 to avoid confusion Ron

 

I've just noticed that ATR have it 1/3 with WH. Looked at Oddschecker and best priced is 4/11. So checked back with RP and it still shows BC as 1/2 with WH.

So I suspect those odds showing as 1/2 with WH have not been available. If so I'll void my last bet (can't take odds that weren't actually available, even if it is for fun).

Bet void. False price shown on RPsite

So it's just the £900 at 4/9 that stands

 

Newbury today 15.25

£1,000 win Great Heavens at 11/10 (various)

 

Oh dear, here we go again. Great Heavens drifting, and drifting and Albamara shortening.

 

Albamara drifting slightly which is good news but really disappointed with the price I got for GH

 

Yeeha. Great ride by WB. Shame about the price but a win is a win. So £1100 profit on that one.

 

Pays for my bet on BC with £200 left over. Can't be bad.

 

Balance:

Plan A. Betting Bank £16,355: Piggy Bank £0
Plan B. Betting Bank £9,680: Piggy Bank £6,675

With £900 to come out of the betting bank if BC doesn't win

 

Sandown
15.25 Pearl Secret

4/6 Betfred £1200 win

 

Sandown 15.25 I can only see one possible danger to Pearl Secret, that being Ballesteros who is freely available at 5/1. I don't fancy it enough to effectively take a free(ish) bet on the favourite but I'm having £100 win Ballesteros at 5/1 purely as a damage limitation in case of a shock.

 

Pearl Secret W = £800 profit
Ballesteros NR

Balance:

Plan A. Betting Bank £17,155: Piggy Bank £0
Plan B. Betting Bank £9,680: Piggy Bank £7,475

With £900 to come out of the betting bank if BC doesn't win

 

A very speculative bet in the 4.00 Salisbury tomorrow . Our Jonathon should win this but at a best priced 9/4 I wouldn't be risking a win bet. However I think Golden Delicious is way overpriced at 40/1 (LAD & PP) so I'm having

£100ew Golden Delicious 4.00 Salisbury tomorrow at 40/1. If there is a plunge I'll lay it off for a free bet.

A fun bet courtesy of Pearl Secret today.

 

Also tomorrow 16.40 Doncaster

£100ew Icy Blue @10/1 (LAD & others)

 

OMG. Golden Delicious 33/1 with BV - BUT 66/1 with Bet365. Do Bet365 know something? I don't touch the Exchanges for this exercise, otherise I could have got 84/1. Very tempted to cover the bet with Our Jonathan but I had virtually written off the bet on GD so I will resist the temptation to throw more money at the race.

 

Looks like I have made a booboo here. GD out to 50/1 and 66/1. Only 3 bookies staying at 40/1. No chance of laying this one off now

 

Bloody ground has dried out at Salisbury. Last night soft, this morning good to soft and now good. Over 6f I would have thought the softer the better. The price has come down to 25/1 with Lad but I can't really lay it off as 40/1 still available wit Bet365.

Woh gone 25s across the board as I type. So I'll lay off at 28/1 £100 just to win.
