    I'm a real novice at this stuff - can anyone advise on best site for on-line betting please?
  • Thanks again Peanuts for making me look so knowledgeable, horse savvy and of course, 400% sexier with the chicks in the office...

    Good luck everyone. If the big one comes in, I am buying a big feck off armoured personel carrier and invading Belgium on Monday, think it seats 10, anyone up for it?

    Betvic pay 6 places for e/w bets - may or may not be best odds of course

    Glad to oblige soapy. I guess you're a winner regardless. :smile:

    Careful Soapy, there's a few people on here with a track record of signing up for invasions but then getting cold feet.

    I would indeed - as does most of the betting public and betting industry

    Got to say I have accounts with every bookmaker and as frustrating as they can be when they put restrictions on my account from time to time, I use 365 the most.

  • @PeanutsMolloy how did your betting slip go last year?

    I've read your posts with interest and I've backed four other horses which I'm not sure if I regret...

    Backed 6 last year.

    • Top 2 rated (Chance Du Roy and Oscar Time) disappointed, as did First Lieutenant (though he ran OK after bad mistakes early doors)
    • The Druids Nephew 14/1 (very unfortunate, going brilliantly before slipping on landing and departing 5 out)
    • Monbeg Dude 33/1 (3rd and a bit unlucky in running)
    • Portrait King 66/1 (ran well, in touch but one-paced when tipping up 3 out)

    Monbeg Dude got me out very slightly ahead but it was a case of "what if" for him and Druids.

    I typically back 4~6 (depending on the ratings) every year:

    Results since model first employed:

    2006: 1st, 4th
    2007: 2nd (short head)
    2008: 1st, 2nd, 4th
    2009: 1st (100/1)
    2010: 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th
    2011: 2nd, 4th
    2012: 2nd (NOSE!!!!)
    2013: 2nd, 3rd, 6th
    2014: 6th (cock up by me inputting career stats of winner meant I missed backing him - he was actually 4th best rated)
    2015: 3rd

    Made me a profit in 8 out of 10 years but time for a winner!!!
    That 2012 race killed me, first year id told my mates about your model, Id have gone down in folklore had that Won.

    I had £40 e/w on that, still think its won everytime I watch a replay of that race.

    To boot, the same weekend I also had £10 e/w on Oosthiuzen to win the masters, Bubba somehow clawed his way back with a sensational shot to get a play off and beat him in the play off.

  • Ok, Victor's bets are;

    Many Clouds 8/1.......because PM says so
    Vics Canvass (of course) 66/1 - gutted I placed before 100/1 though
    O'Faolains Boy 33/1.......just a niggling feeling
    The Romford Pele 40/1......because Pele and Ray Parlour kept coming up on the radio this week on Talksport
    Aachen 100/1........Peanuts again
    Just a Par 33/1.......omen given the Masters is on

    ......I always recall how pissed I felt overlooking Party Politics in the Election year and vowed to go with my gut and not ignore the 'signs'.

    Good luck all.
  • Today's the day!

    I've gone for The Last Samuri and Vics Canvas.

    Good luck everyone and let's hope all horses and jockeys get round safe.

    Vics 50s now on BetVic, cheers CL.
  • Ooh, just realised I got Just a Par at 50/1. Cummon!!!!!
  • 7mm rain overnight - Soft (GS) official at the moment but possibility of showers throughout the afternoon.

  • O'Faolains Boy a Non Runner

    Is Many Clouds a big enough favourite for this to be worth it? The catch is it's a £1 max stake whereas you probably have to deposit like £10.
  • O'Faolains Boy a Non Runner

    A lot of people were tipping him Peanuts. I've added The Druids Nephew to my slip.
  • All drifted this am, Many Clouds at 10/1, Vics at 100/1, Saint Are back to 18's, Aaranchen at 125. Bet365.
  • Peanuts have you checked the "racing to profit" site and tips for the National?That dreaded horse that may haunt us after today is one of his tips,I can't bring myself to say the name again but I have spoken to Josh this morning and he hasn't convinced me he is not mad by tipping THAT horse!!!
