Oh yes, definitely be queuing up to pump some money into that…
This might have been sarcastic but actually one unlucky punter just missed out.
ONE punter chasing Saturday’s huge Scoop6 pot was just denied
when Barbican won the final leg at Ascot by a short head from
their selection Spifer, meaning £1 million could be up for grabs
in next Saturday’s bet.Scoop6 results
Two remaining ticket holders went into the final leg, but Barbican’s narrow victory means £535,852 is carried forward."Our sympathies go out to the Scoop6 punter who almost won a fortune, but Barbican’s gritty success means our combined pools could be approaching the magicmillion mark next Saturday,"
said Totepool spokesman Andrew Griffiths.£342,224 was bet into the pool and there were 1,497 winners of the place fund, each picking up £45.70.
Scoop 6 breakdown:
After leg 1 3,230 tickets remaining
After leg 2 291
After leg 3 61
After leg 4 17
After leg 5 2
After leg 6 0Read that in today’s RP, gutted for however lost on the last leg, especially if it was just the one punter rather than a syndicate
Missed the place part by one – £45 would have been good for my £2 lol!
Actually I thought Saturdays was achieveable. And lets remember what the bet is…its a Saturday afternoon bet designed for the tv races that gives joe bloggs the chance of an exciting afternoon in front of the box and the chance to win a life changing sum. If you see it as anything other than that then more fool you!
I chuck £2 at it every Saturday, just as I chuck £2 a week at the lottery…I know which I am more likely to win…and its not got 49 balls in a machine called guinevere!

I WAS BEING SARCASTIC, FOR [expletive] SAKE!
No, today’s been the usual bollo: sod’s law, near misses, make a split decision, usually the wrong one. Yawn.
OMG! You are a right whinger aren’t you PP? Have you nothing better to do in your life?
Having perused the NH new season thread, I found it hard to believe the amount of time and effort you have obviously devoted to putting down in writing such a load of old "things-which-geldings-do-not-have".
You seem so disenchanted with the game, and unwilling to understand that horses are not machines. Why do you persevere, apparently unluckily, and continue to complain about it?
Because I do have winners and I have good each ways as well. I can pick winners. What amazes me is how in the course of a saturday I can pick say four winners and a couple of fat each ways but I can’t get it all together early enough to make a good multiple. Maybe that’s the nature of it. I am often just complaining about my luck within the game: the law of sod, for me anyway, can be vicious in the extreme. For example, I might have a couple of wins in the afternoon, dribble some of the winnings away on races I should stay out of but what the hey. Maybe I’ll take a bigger hit. Then, later this will happen: I’ll see a horse at the evning meeting at Wolves or Kempton and think: yeah that’s a got a chance. I’ll have a tenner each on it 14s because i’m feeling a bit careful. So it wins and you claw back. This happened with Vamina on Saturday night, and Cavitie and each ways on Laconicos and Aussie Blue. BUT put all them in a yankee or back valmina £50 each way and there it is down the field. You would not believe how many times the Flat has done this to me. it’s almost funny.
