Off Topic The Betting Thread

Any student of form will tell you that Eminent cannot finish in front of Churchill

I like Winter - it was a huge price earlier in the week at 12/1.

 

Winter been declared for the Matron (group 1), race before the Champion stakes.
AO'B's hand in that race is ridiculous, Winter, Rhododendron and Roly Poly

 

O'B's horses have been flip flopping since the start of the season... Rhododendron started off the season as his big hope now Winter seems to have jumped far in front... god knows which of his will win the Matron?

 

I regularly Tweet the BHA regarding how O'Brien fiddles the multiple entries system to carve up a race. It infuriates me. For example, at the last forfeit stage, O'Brien had 18 of the 45 decs left in the St Leger. I am afraid much of the Irish Group racing form is no longer worth the (bog) paper it is written on. All of O'Brien's jockeys ride to team instructions and the Irish Horseracing Authority is about as potent as Elfs in a brothel, because they fear Coolmore will quit Ireland.

 

Unraced Frankel colt Herculean just won the maiden at Ascot in very impressive style.

Frankel had the 2nd as well.

 

BTTS - Man City v Liverpool

Evens in William Hill as a special offer.

 

Went large on Harry Angel £200 winnings.... good Saturday night out ...... Champion sprinter!

 

Great result.

Got £10 on Charlton, Man Utd and Chelsea to win and btts - returns £520.

 

Ouch

 

@Talal El

Very surprised to see O'Brien's 20/1 outsider beat O'Brien's Even money fav (Winter) in the Group 1 yesterday. Never saw that coming.

 

Unlucky mate - unless cashed when lukaku scored?

 

Can't cash out on result and BTTS on paddy power

 

De Whore sacked today - winning me a lovely £28

Looks like Palace want another miserable loser in his place - Woy Hodgson

 

I had Benitez

At least our Les Reed record has gone.

 

Terrific choice by Steve Parish.

 

How on earth did Hodgson get another job in football ..and in the Premier League at that

 

Parish proving to be a very poor chairman. He said after the avoided relegation last season that they would no longer look to spend big in January to get them out of holes.

Well their business in the summer was awful, so unless he changes his mind they are doomed.

 

Had 50 quid on Bilbao, Napoli, Lyon & Torino last night for £230. Still upset about Utd, though.

 

I think he got very lucky with Allardyce, much as we all take the p1ss out of him, he knows how to keep ugly sides up.

 

Allardyce and Warnock are two old school Managers cut from the same cloth... both good managers in my eyes
