Hello there chaps and chapesses. Sorry to start a new thread but i feel this needs to be drawn attention to. If you are backing anythig between now and the festival in the Supreme and it's not the favourite and you are betting each way please look towards WillHill as they go 1/4 odds 1,2,3,4,5. That, to me, is a hell of an opportunity to get a profit out of the first race. I'm on Un Atout at bigger odds so won't go in again on him but Dodging Bullets is a horse I can't have out of the three let along the 5 so at 8/1 I genuinely feel like he's shaping up to be one of the bets of the Festival under these terms.
Hills are a disgrace, take a look at the Neptune betting, the only firm still NOT going NRNB, the only firm going 1/5 odds and with that only joint best price on 3 of teh top 18 runners, less than anyone else. I walked into a Hills shop during the week to back Super Duty for the Kim Muir, after a 5 min wait and a lengthy phone call to their head office the cashier said sorry the maximum stake I could have is £100 at 6/1. High St bookies may as well become amusement arcades, they don't want punters....
Corals are refunding all winning and losing £10 bets in the opening race on each of the four days. Should appeal to small punters.
They're all becoming pretty good at gimmick offers for the small punter, but if you happen to bet for more then tenners/scores you're being forced towards the exchanges which is single handedly killing the on course betting industry and SP system...
12 entered so the bets terms change, the advert said 13 riders needed for the terms to stand. Farce of a bet, and I agree with Stick, the VC one looks a better deal.
Great - i placed my bet on Champagne Fever last night. Just my sodding luck it's a small field. Been looking at this in depth last night and Champagne Fever hits every strong trend. Nothing else gets near.
Yes you are right the bumper winner doesn't have a good record but it depends on how you look at that stat. I suppose it's the same with all stats. Anyway, there's been three winners of the Supreme since 2004 that have run in the bumper the year before.
Tbf Nass Dunguib, Cue Card and Cousin Vinny all ran good enough races and Al Ferof was 2nd in the bumper. The difference Champagne Fever has with those first 3 is that he's a much more attractive price at 8/1 than any of those were and is an e/w proposition to boot.
I don't disagree, was just mocking the trends being spot on. Surely the one with the trends all in line is Puffin Billy?
Depends what you give credence to. He was out of mine as not Irish trained. Al Ferof would have fallen at that same hurdle the other year so they're most likely best ignored. 12 runners. 2 have no chance. Of the 10 left Mullins runs 3. I'm keen to keep him onside.
This is what W Hill say on the offer in the T&C's "William Hill Supreme Novices Hurdle Enhanced Place Terms - 1/4 the Odds 1st 5 Places Non Runner Money Back Should the field size reduce the place terms may be amended. Bets struck before any changes to the field size will be honoured at the place terms listed at the time of bet placement. "
Interesting, on the advert it definately said that the race had to have 13 riders. Anyone asked Bill?
They've tweeted that they still go five places. I really think this is an excellent bet at those terms.
