Don't know if you saw the Morning Line Oddy, but PN was quite enthusiastic (for him) about Just A Par, bringing the horse out for the cameras. A no bet race for me, but loving the chance of Timesremembered, regardless of what the lovely Emma has on her face Incidentally Mr Grey makes his rules debut at Stratford on Thursday I'm disappointed at Medicean Man's defection from the 5f lottery at Donny, so am replacing him with Pearl Blue who's price has slumped following Pricewise's selection.
Afternoon swan I hate saturday betting singles are big stakes if everything looks right 3 or 4 times a month , daily betting is minimal for intrest and focus plus to keep ones self up to speed Todays betting is small for competition purposes only hence first 5 at Aintree , my betting is not really fo the comp but last weeks winners seen me to the worthy hights of a winner under similar tactics . Have you joined yet anyway ? The more the that join the better the game and the more work for the good man chan. If it makes you relax a little I have had 10p bets with the notoriously scrooge bookmakers that people cant extract big money from you know who so all the luck will be needed.
Swanny is correct - multiples are a bookies gravy, they rely on the average punters dream of winning thousands for a minor outlay, a bit like the lottery. But recreational betting is all about having a bit of fun, and if you can, turning a profit. If doing lucky 15's; 31's; yankees etc gets your juices flowing, well where's the harm? Personally I only do singles and sometimes doubles - but that's more to do with my cautious nature and tight fisted northern upbringing
If all you do is small stakes then lucky 15/31/63 etc are really the only worthwhile bets to do. For me personally singles wouldn't be worth it I never stake much so there'd be no real fun just doing singles at the stakes I bet with
When I enter "Cyc's comp" I usually put a €1 win or €0.50 e/w Lucky 31 or Canadian on my selections just for a laugh. Best return I've had to date is €440 and have had several 3-figure sums. Just adds a bit of interest to the afternoon.
First winner of the day and probably the last - can't name it coz I didn't name it beforehand Kashmir Peak ew in next!
Gordon Elliot sends one all the way to Stratford for a seller, with Timmy Murphy taking the ride. That has to be a winner, surely? Formal Bid
Very nice field for the Old Roan, a real credit to old boy Monet's Garden and for me another dashing grey, Alan King's Walkon, will win. Biggest bet of the day for me (unless it wins, then I'll have a bigger one on Emma's horse in the Persian War).
