    WD on cracking the staircase Billion

    Maybe take a cple of your examples on today :)

    Young master Hatter, someone has got to take you in hand (behave please), now listen, I am 68 years old, Formath is refered to as Grandad, MrE is riddled with gout and we have to put up with "WD on cracking . . . . ."

    It has taken me 10 minutes to work out what WD is/meant, I thank you for the compliment and hope if you backed the couple of todays selections which won. However can you please minimise the shorthand and spell it out otherwise I shall put in a formal report to Matron and then who knows what recriminations will be taken and I for one will fear for your well being.

    So be a good chap and spell it out for us older members who are still unable to work out text spelling etc.

    :) :roll: :wink:

    Sadly

    Nathan

    it feels that way most of the time and was quite convinced when

    Hatter

    quoted WD I really thought he had left 40 off. Mind you I am sure I need some super glue these days to hold it all together and stop bits falling off.

    :roll: :cry: :wink:

    Hi

    Nathan

    You could be so right! that said I am quite pleased how this is begining to sort itself out.

    I really hate giving myself a verbal pat on the back as history tells me that is when the wheels come off but with crossed fingers and bated breath it will not happen this time.

    :roll:

    Saturday

    Was it Clive Holt that said he did not like Saturday for betting?

    It is such a close call for "Old Friends" today and then across the board nothing is quite leaping off the page and so I will keep my powder dry (as they say – who are THEY?)

    3 for consideration: –

    Newmarket 2.20 EKTIBAAS* 4/1 available :(

    Catterick 3.30 IMPERIAL DAY* 9/2 available :(

    Stratford 6.50 HEALTH is WEALTH 7/2 available :(

    I will wait until the selections has 2*

    The results from Saturday proved the addition of the star ratings are very much worthwhile.

    Monday

    Leicester 4.25 ADDIKT

    7/2 available :(

    Wednesday

    June 1

    Stonethrower ended May with another 2nd :(

    The selection today falls within the "Shall I shan’t I" category by making the score but is not supported with the additional *’s.

    Because I am also testing

    MrE

    ‘s staircase I am trusting it to win: –

    Ripon 7.40 BASSETT ROAD

    available @ 9/4 :(

    Thursday.

    Two top flight selections today which is hoped will do better than BASSETT ROAD (3rd) yesterday.

    Hamilton 3.40 KLYNCH ** a bit short at 13/8 early price :(

    Southwell 4.00 KOO AND THE GANG ** also 15/8 early :(

    (Staircase staking would require an increase should KLYNCH lose and because I have taken early prices about both selections I have split the increase between both at 1.5pts. I expect a rocket from MrE for taking the initiative but Ho-hum, that,s life)

    Hi Dingo….. I should be up and posting again tomorrow or over the weekend…… but it saddens me to say that your betting at poor odds if you want to use the "Staircase" Plan….. if your going to bet singles at less than 2/1, your gonna get hurt, you’d be a richer man if you put all your stakes that your going to bet at 2’s or under, into a tin and save it up for a holiday…. if you keep records you will probably find that you’ll have more money in the tin than you would have won betting at less than 2/1 mate…..
