    Cabbles I have a collection of jockeys I follow at certain courses or under certain conditions and Paul Townend is one of them and hopefully not a bad start with Clancys Cross finishing second.I bought Townsend on the spreads today myself

    Good stuff, fingers crossed

    I know it's no consolation to anyone who didn't do him on the spreads but he did make a 10pt profit on them today

    Killer forgive my ignorance but how/what are the spreads on horse racing. Only just started betting on it recently, so not clued up on spreads for horse racing like NBA or footie say....

    Cabbles you can bet on jockey performances on the spreads and they award points as follows
    Winner 25pts
    Second 10pts
    Third 5pts
    Them points never change no matter how many horses are in the race
    So yesterday you could buy P.Townsend at 25 and as he had a winner and a second his total was 35pts so you win 10 times whatever your stake was,so if you say had bought for £10 you would of won 10x£10=£100 but if he had got no winners or places he would of ended up with 0pts which means you would of lost 25 times your stake and that's where you have to understand and be ready for because then it would of been 25x£10= a loss of £250!!!

    Just remembered why I stopped using corals and went to bet 365, have taken corals offer on the golf and winning I placed this £10 treble with them on the horses today which has came in, all at longer odds when placed, they have paid me £386 at the shorter odds instead of £584 which is with best price gaurentee so I've called them up to tell them to change it and are now arguing about it, absolute arseholes if it was £20 I wouldn't bother but £200 is different

    I have a case involving Coral with IBAS that dates back to last year. And they still haven't responded to the questions both I and IBAS have asked.

    Bet365 refusing to pay this out due to a 'system error'.

    They've got previous for this sort of thing and its why i refuse to bet with them.
