    I have done this. DON’T DO IT.

    My worst day was when lester piggott won on a 7/1 fav and I should have put something like 600 quid on it. I bottled out because of the price, I even went to the counter with the slip written out and the money in my hand, bottled out then went home to watch it win. BUT BUT BUT, it gave me the confidence to stay with the system. Because of that system, I am 90K in debt, lost my busines, my home and my wife in that order. You WILL get 2 days with no favs winning. Doubling up is fine, but wait for 10 losers and start betting with 1 penny.

    I think that you will find that if something is advertised in a shop window for a certain price, then that price will stand mistake or not. (I have been caught slacking a couple of times in my past businesses.) If your price was advertised on the screen or in the window, as long as you have proof of that price, ie. writen on your ticket, that is your price, full stop. But obviously you will have to prove that price. Lucky for us, we now have cameras in our phones for such anomalities (can’t smell that LOL)
    A book maker is a business the same as any other.

    Money wise, (prob the most important factor to us) (on the price of placing outsiders)

    Ruby by a factor of thousands.

    Both make you cream your pants when 2nd or 3rd at the 2nd to last jump.

    Both Irish of course, but my fav joc is the classic alltime star, Barry Geraghty. What an amazing record. If you had a few bob on a classic race and he was riding, before the race had ended, you were buying your mates mates drinks in the pub.

    The last great and prob best English jump joc was Terry Biddlecombe.

    Have a great night
