I got 4/1 fingers crossed

 

Guess how much I got ?

 

Nowt.

It made a terrible start and was left with too much to do.

 

Thought it was a shocking ride by the jockey Ernie

6.30 Chelmsford......the dark Prince 8/1

 

Agreed.

I reckon either of us could have ridden a better race than that.


Although I suspect they'd have had to have give us a little more than a three pound weight allowance.

 

Alas, 7:30 a similar story.


The dog'll be going hungry tonight.

 

Feed him one of the horses.

 

3:50 pm Lingfield - Bearing Bob 11/8 (4 Points)
6:30 pm Dundalk - Giuliana 5/4(1 Point

 

2. Barnavidaun 2.25 chepstow ew

 

1:58 pm Wetherby - Miss Lamb 6/4 (4 Points)
8:00 pm Kempton - Pilot Wings 50/1 Each Way Win(1 Point)

 

Stupid question alert ..... Never really bet on horses so what does the ( 4 points, 1 point etc ) mean

 

Its a confidence / multiplier rating. So if your usual bet is £10 per race, the 4 point ref is telling you to stake £40.
Also some people use the point system as a measure of success ie I had 150 winning points last month.
Hope that helps??

 

Makes sense, cheers

 

Pilot down to 25/1 already

 

We are 13/8 to win today...Good value

 

unless you state e/w, are any bets to be placed on the nose, as horsey people may say?
Asking for a friend.

 

I got 22/1 on Paddy Power

 

Yes that’s right. It’s a win bet unless stated ew

 

So where it's 1pt each way would you class that as 2 points?
Asking for me as I tend to put half on each side when it's 1pt e/w
