I really dont understand why anybody bothers with bets like this .. if you dont know how much you are going to collect then how can you know if you have value?
If I fancy two horses in one race, then a bet on both of them seems to be the logical way to go about things .. or have I missed something?
LOL Glenn:biggrin: :biggrin:
Not sure which is funnier; your post or Little Britain’s May to December sketch last night; the one round the dinner table.
As Gamble says, it was indeed Paul Cooper who maxed Ladbrokes with a tricast perming five of the highest drawn runners in Thirsk’s popular Dick Peacock 5f Handicap, thus inspiring the search for a more cunning Maths graduate. I think the bet was over a grand, btw, which I found jaw dropping at the time.

Didn’t see round the dinner table or the rudies but would imagine Glenn’s michelin rated digest was the more succulent and dripped more, even minus the peas and gravied potatoes, and therefore easily wins the slycast.
I was coming back from germany, way before celebrity was a religion, and it was a land where the drierwette (123 bet) was immensly popular, and frankly I was gobsmacked to see, on a very drizzly day, Laddies enhanced 25% tricast offers in that bold yucky red that draws the fool out of you. In fact, the extra quarter, transformed the ugly mug on a stick bet into Kate you can have my Bushel. I left the poo bets and got stuck in to the value of Vosene :afro:. Of course after sly Cooper struck at Thirsk there were no more extra pillows for the three in a bed bet, which was quickly re-made and replaced by a very biblically hard grime-proof :laugh: mattress with strong ceiling lights to expose any unholy benefit of a three union.
Cooper of course struck again – a mere 100k, before he lost the lad in him. He could well of been the second comning with his mentally inspired double miracle which rocketed the holy trinity into a different statosphere and kicked those boring Clinger dustbin lids way out of the milky way.

I think, from memory, the formula has been tampered with several times to ensure a raw deal for punters and a benefit for bookies.
I’d always recommend forecast punters go with the exacta, especially if you fancy something other than the favourite.
The one example that affected me today was the 4.30 at Chetlenham. I backed the forecast (believing I was on the exacta). The old forecast formula would have paid £71.50, the CSF paid just over £67, the exacta paid £113.10.
A no-brainer or what?

Summat strange going on here, I’m starting to understand some bits of Gamble’s posts :cheesy:
