Good news, id much rather take a price, some terrible terrible odds atm nrnb,was disappointed to read that in the post earlier
That’s why I’ve been playing with Hills’ market as they still have reasonable prices with an added insurance.
Generally mug punters that get excited over NRNB coming into force so early (Not you MOM
)No reason for celebration that I can see. Skybet’s Queen Mother Champion Chase odds are over 200% with the first 10 in the betting.
paul kealy pointed this out in the weekender today as well. for example yorkhill who is 4-1 for the champion hurdle with a run, which seems a fairly horrific price given he’s been campaigned over fences and his best form over hurdles isn’t good enough to beat the favourite. Kealy quite rightly pointed out it was difficult to imagine him lining up at shorter than 4-1 if he was to run in the race.
I guess the advantage for a punter could be, you back something in a race with a short-priced favourite (say altior) and that fav gets injured, all of a sudden you are in clover
for a personal purist point of view though, ante-post betting shouldn’t be nrnb, it goes against the spirit of ante-post,
although I guess this is like those mountaineers who used to argue the only true way to climb everest is without oxygen.Take Monalee for the RSA, if he lines up I’d be amazed if he started bigger than 7-2. The opposition looks fairly poor for me. with the NRNB firms he’s 5-1, but even that seems a good price to throw money at given the race is only two and something months away.
btw does anyone know if these NRNB concessions are just on the website or are they in the shops as well?
I guess it also depends on how much these firms are allowing you to put on. Maybe if i tried to back monalee they’d let me have a tenner or something on it and no more.
To give an example today I went down to the bookies to back some golfer at 400-1. as the bet was £50 in total the guy had to ring up to get clearance on the bet. he told me that he was amazed the bet was cleared with no issue, as normally when someone comes in the shop and tries to do a similar bet they must have inside info, so they’ll let them put a tenner on at 400-1, then a fiver on at 350-1, etc…
probably as most of these people betting at those sort of odds are following golf tipsters like ben coley. similarly you’ll get a lot of people following in the likes of segal who put their cheltenham ante-post tips up, and then find that they’ll be able to get very little on. presumably you can have as much on as you like on betfair antepost, but that won’t be NRNB and the liquidity will be poor
(Not you MOM 😉 )
It just happens to be that horses I want to back this year, NRNB helps with those.
If The Cap Fits 7/1 supreme to top up my any race bets 16/1 being the best example. At this stage, I wouldn’t want him for the Neptune as Samcro will win and so the any race market is pointless.
I just think it’s good for some to offer NRNB. Not all though i agree.
