    I do not always bet on favourites, I'm just not afraid to bet on them. If I fancy the favourite then il back it but if not I won't. I tipped up plenty of bigger priced horses in Dubai last week.

    As I have proven before, the bookies do not like me. This is why they close down my accounts :biggrin:

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you've already mentioned that.

    Shergy baby,

    I had a look at your picks and, correct me if I am wrong, but your MO for betting seems to be "pick the favourites".

    Is this the case, or is there some hidden knowledge youre using to select your horses?

    I just fancy them today. My mo for betting wasn't pick the favourites when I tipped up a 7/1 winner in Dubai last week. Il only bet the favourites if I feel strongly that they'll win.

    I fancy some for tomorrow that aren't favourite. Which il post later :biggrin:

    All Bookies monitor their heavy betters, very few of them are ahead of the game, but they'll all tell you they are.

    That is why a lot of them have banned me. As I have shown proof of in the past. And proof of my selections showing a profit that I've posted on here before :biggrin:

    If I was forced to bet in that race, Call The Cops would be the one Id choose. Though I don't bet in big field races over the jumps, due to there being no stalls in jumps racing. A horse can lose the race at the start due to not getting a position on the rails and travelling 5 wide around the turns.

    Best of luck if you do decide to back it :biggrin:

    Not gonna lie abit of a disastrous day for my selections today, Josses Hill refused to settle early on, and jumped very badly to the right at most fences. Hargam looked to have been feeling his hard race at Cheltenham, whilst Holywell just wasn't good enough.

    Arctic Fire looked like he was going to get me a good chunk of my cash back going to the last, he was still cruising on the bit. But that's what happens when your having a bad day. Luckily the horse was ok after such a nasty looking fall.

    Form is temporary though, you can't win everyday :biggrin:

    Hoping to get back to winning ways tomorrow, but there is only one horse il be backing.

    3.25 Al Ferof

    I think he's around the 13/2 mark at the moment, though I'm hoping to get a bigger price in the morning!:biggrin:

    I hate to agree with you in public Shergar, but I'm with you on Al Ferof.

    Aintree is a mugs meeting though. The jumps season is basically over after Cheltenham.
