I wouldn’t say I agree with you entirely judge.
Can see why a punter like Charlie wants to tell people when he’s had a good week and personally not got any problem with him doing so.I do though see your point, when people only seem to post winners after the event it doesn’t give a fair overall picture of their betting and can get a bit annoying. Although am not sure Charlie is claiming anything about his overall betting prowess.
Just think it is up to us all what we choose to believe. ie Can’t blame Charlie for posting his winners and can’t blame you for not thinking much of it.
Value Is EverythingIt depends how you’re marketing yourself, I think.
If you’re like Cormack with his little tipping service or one of those dreadful Twitter tipping accounts claiming to make profit, you do need to record every bet at the time of placement, record all R4 deductions (rarely done by online tipsters) and be realistic when claiming BPG or BPG+.
Even if you’re just casually contributing to a forum then I think there are a few points of etiquette. It really does depend who you are though. Personally I don’t mind people jumping in mid-thread and saying what they’ve backed (even if the price has gone) if they’re just a friendly benign type. I know I’m guilty of that sort of thing.
What I really object to is when people quote old prices, aftertime, ignore R4 etc and then point to their ‘results’ in the dickwaving arguments that sometimes break out. It’s just not cricket.
Judge i dont see charlie claiming he had single bet in those races, infsct im sure he said why would he in 25 runner races
No ones here to prove profit, so he dosent need to post losers, not many people would cover enough horses to be on a loss on that race should one of them cone up, so yes he may have covered multiple horses in a race but its highly likely if one of them come in hes on a profit for that race
Its a pointless thing to be annoyef about

Ok Ham pal, I agree
I thought I would add mt two penn’orth to try and get the thread back on track.
Highlight
Has to be the Gold Cup and what a finish and glad the right one won for the missus!!
And seeing Freddie too was brilliant!!
Lowlight
Somehow managing to back the 25/1 Wokingham winner and still losing on the race!!I though on the whole it was a terrific meeting and a wonderful spectacle!!
High Point
1. Big Orange winning . Did someone call him a “Group 2 horse”. Goodwood Cup has been promoted because of horses like him and OSG.
2. Highland Reel finally winning a big one, and he has had a very tough month
3. New names to the winners list at Royal Ascot eg Murphy (that celebration
) , Stevie Donoghue and two others4. Godolphin making things interesting
5. Despite my hatred for the fashion people on ITV, they were no where near as annoying as Gok Wan. In all, bar a few annoying moments by Plank Chamberlin, the presentation by ITV was excellent
6. Making profit. Only week of the year that I consistently do. All down hill for now until the Irish Champions Weekend though
7. The Weather . There has always been a bit of a stalls bias in sprints at Ascot. High draw often is the place to be. Really , it is where ever the pace is.On the same note, the stall should have killed off the chances of horses drawn wide in the Vase , but it did not. Personally, this is not a week where you put on all of your bets the night before. Great do it if the odds are good, but really, sometimes it is wise to do it race by race to see what the pattern is like
Low Point
1. The soon to be annual gathering of complaining about Ryan Moore where it is not merited eg the Ascot GC ride and Churchill
2. Naught or Nice (John Oxx) not getting her run because of the slipped saddle. Things just can’t get any worse for John Oxx
3. Fair Eva not making Ascot (well, we knew about that in advance) Wonder will see even be back?
4. The realisation that Stoute needs a full time jockey now. Can’t be having different jocks on the horse for every race.
Highlight: Imagining the look on Nath’s face when he realised he had beaten me in the tipping contest.
Lowlight: Worst RA for me in some time. Couldn’t do a thing right.Still loved every second though!!
"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
However, when others (rightly or wrongly) only remember/see a punter putting up winning bets after the event; you can’t blame them for being sceptical.
MOM,
My post wasn’t criticising Judge.Sorry Ginge, I wasn’t supposed to have quoted your post.
