    Fair enough, Jonibake. If that’s how you wish to interpret form, good luck with it; also to the other ingrate that asked for input.

    Absolutely that’s how I interpretate it – luckily enough this time I interpreted it exactly right and you interpreted it exactly wrong. :D

    Followed Vita Nova all season, and had a chunky wager on her last time out when she was unfortunate with he saddle slipping. However Blue Bunting looks absolute rock solid, and in all honesty, should be around Evens. Dancing Rain and Banimpire both franked the form a week on Sunday in Ireland and Germany respectively through their runs, and expect the Frankie ‘flying dismount’ on the Knavesmire this afternoon.

    Win and the forecast, nice to finally get one right.

    3 selections in yorkie oaks and still no winners. nice 1 ginner t. keep em coming. lol.

    I backed all three before any of them (Crystal Capella, Vita Nova or Laughing Lashes) were well backed for the event.

    It sounds as if you think by backing three horses I should win most races Wildething. Where as in fact the combined price taken was only around 7/4 (less a rule 4).

    3 Selections at:
    5/1, 7/1 and 12/1.

    Adding all those up…
    5/1 = 16.7% + 7/1 = 12.5% + 12/1 = 7.7%
    16.7 + 12.5 + 7.7 = 36.9%
    36.9% is the equivalent of taking a touch shorter than 7/4 about one horse.

    If a punter backed all three to win the same amount…
    16.7 points @ 5/1 potential returns 100.2 -36.9 =

    63.3 points

    potential profit
    12.5 points @ 7/1 potential returns 100 -36.9 =

    63.1 points

    potential profit
    7.7 points @ 12/1 potential returns 100.1 -36.9 =

    63.2 points

    potential profit

    Overall stake 36.9 points

    36.9 points @ 7/4 would return 101.48 -36.9 = 64.58 points.

    potential profit

    Have you ever backed a 7/4 shot that only finished 2nd Wildething?

    :lol:
    (Although there was a rule 4 and I decided to back two horses and save on the other).

    "keep ’em coming" you say. :lol:

    Amazed you get away with it!
    This used to be a serious discussion group; your mindless and constant repetition of primary school arithmetic reduces it somewhere below the status of a 3 ring circus.
    Ffs, give it up.

    Reet,

    Please stop this constant moaning about everything I say. It’s nauseous. Am sure nobody else wants to hear your silly jibes. Why not get an opinion of your own instead of berating everyone elses?

    You might have your way of betting, my way is all about value. So when Wildething seemed to think by backing three horses in the same race I should expect to win; why shouldn’t I explain why that is not the case? No big deal, it’s one post in thousands. You don’t have to read it.

    I know you don’t like to hear it because it blows out of the water your naive ante-value campaign. Which is why you want it banned. Get over it.

    This is a great forum for debate, you just want to shout down anyone who does not agree with your way of thinking.

    It has nothing to with value, or serious discussion of horse racing.
    It has everything to do with your long, tedious, and thousands of times quoted dutching formula, which you have polluted this forum with ever since your early days on here.
    Do you really believe that Wildething needed half a page of schoolboy sums to inform him you’d backed a 7/4 shot, or that this forum needs to be told again and again how to work out returns on a simple bet?
    If brevity is the soul of wit, then you are its antithesis. Trouble is, you’re not bright enough to realise it.

    Reet,
    The post you are so agrieved about was not addressed to you.

    Wildething is a new(ish) member

    to this forum and I doubted whether he fully understood why I backed three horses. I therefore explained why in that post. I realise you have probably heard it all before, but Wildething probably hadn’t. It was a post

    ONLY

    aimed at Wildething,

    nobody else

    . Please allow me to explain something you’ve heard before to a new member Reet.

    I’ve only been aware of Wildething’s existence on this forum for about a month, so had no knowing how much knowledge he has about betting. Aware I may well have overdone the explanation, but that is better than no explanation at all. If I had just said a few words then Wildething might not have understood what I was on about.

    I have no "dutching formula" Reet. Not aware I’ve ever extolled the virtues of dutching. Unless you call backing every horse in a race that I believe is value a "dutching formula".

    It is indeed a good job I am not going for "wit" of the year. Brevity has never been my strong point. :lol:
