[Zarkava]

Have got 21.5 pts of losing ante-post vouchers so far. Decided to look into what my current bets are worth to see if ante-post betting was worth it.

Have checked the vast majority of bets – some of them are EW accas that it’s not worth checking, some of them don’t have markets open anymore to check their worth. 257.4 pts staked, at the current prices would have to stake 709.6 pts.

So yes, it was worth it

Went through everything in more detail & precision.

50pts of bets are uncheckable / pointless checking, either down to markets being closed or being huge EW accas.

I’ve also now checked every single bet that involves a Festival runner in my portfolio.

212.2 pts staked
Now worth 546 pts

One of the bets that can’t be checked is worth considerably more now than when placed, but can’t get a price for the 3rd part of the treble so impossible to check.

If I calculate the returns using the prices available and the price at the time, I staked 10pts and it’s now worth 28.3pts.

[Zarkava]

Well Unaccompanied won’t be running unless Quevega doesn’t. Our Girl Salley’s also weak.

Like the look of most of these wilson, have a few accumalators running involving Sprinter, Quevega, HF and BB, lets hope it’s a year for faves! Sometimes it pays to look no further than the obvious. Can see the bookies taking a real pounding….famous last words…

[wilsonl]

Cheers mate. Fairly unoriginal selections tbh but there are some races where i dont see the point in looking for alternatives and i’m not an e/w gambler so…

They’ll be carrying me out of the course if the three jollies come in.

Lee

[wilsonl]

Well Unaccompanied won’t be running unless Quevega doesn’t. Our Girl Salley’s also weak.

Although i dont think she’d beat the Mullins mare in this race imagine how gutted i was with the surprise inclusion into the betting a few days ago.

Noticed Sally’s drift and after being there and backing Quevega three years running – i’ll be so heavily involved come post time my bank manager will probably tag along.

Cant ever remember a shorter priced fav at the festival – pop quiz, anybody like to enlighten me ?

Lee

[Zarkava]

Well 1/2 with Paddy Power for Quevega to return the lowest SP of the week is printing money I’d have thought.

[Eclipse First]

I’m pretty sure Himself was 1/10 for one of his Gold Cups.

[Sea Pigeon]

WOW!!!! What a day

Got my 7/1 Sprinter Sacre 8/1 Bobs Worth double up and my permed 6 timer has 3 out of 3 so far Sprinter 5/2 Bobs Worth 8/1 and Finians Rainbow 7/1, my £16 stake would cost over £1000 to fund the last 3 legs, have had a saver on Captain Chris for Ryanair £70 @ 14/1

[JJMSports]

Supreme Novices – Darlan 14s/12s & Steps to Freedom 14s/12s/10s
Arkle Trophy – Al Ferof 10s / Sprinter Sacre 10s/8s
Champion Hurdle – Grandouet 25s/20s/16s/8s/7s Rock on Ruby 12s
Mares Hurdle – Quevega 6/4

Neptune – Fingal Bay 5/1
RSA Chase – Bobs Worth 10s/8s Grands Crus 8s/6s/5s/4s
Champion Chase – Big Zeb 7s/6s/5s Finians Rainbow 9s/8s/7s/6s
Jewson Chase – Sir Des Champs 14s/12s/10s Solix 12s/10s
Ryanair – Medermit 16s/14s, Noble Prince 7s/8s, Kalahari King 25s/20s, Poquelin 25s.
World Hurdle – Big Bucks (in practically every bet) 6/4 to 4/7

Triumph Hurdle – Grumeti 12s/10s Minsk 16s/14s/12s/10s
Albert Bartlett – Boston Bob 12s/10s/8s Sea of Thunder 16s
Gold Cup – Quito De La Roque 33s/25s/20s/16s Grands Crus 9s Denman 25s
Foxhunters – Baby Run 7s

Best three backed:

Grands Crus RSA
Sprinter Sacre Arkle
Grandouet Champion Hurdle

Darlan would have made it even better, but so far, irrespective of last two days, in profit, mainly thanks to a Sprinter Sacre/Bobs Worth double back in October. Grumeti, Sea of Thunder, Boston Bob, Sir Des Champs and Medermit can still make things even better.

[JJMSports]

Since added:

Betting without Big Bucks – Oscar Whiskey 11/8
National Hunt Chase – Teaforthree 14s
Neptune – Boston Bob 5/1, Sous Les Cioux 12/1
Coral Cup – Get me Out of Here 10/1
JLT Chase – Quantitativeeasing 10s/8s
Albert Bartlett – Mount Belbuben 12s
Champion Hurdle – Binocular 6s
Foxhunters – Chapoturgeion 6s

Pleased with Teaforthree, I gave him a good write up prior to his novice chase in at Chepstow three weeks ago. Hopefully others got on.

Three handed in the Albert Bartlett with Mount Belbuben, Boston Bob and Sea of Thunder. Thought Get Me Out of Here was going to take it going into the last.
