Hi doug ,
good luck with those mate .
For calculations of returns doug what will your lucky 15 bonuses be ?.
I know its 10% for all 4 winners but also i know that my local Totesport betting office has 1 winner – treble the odds bonus.

Good luck ,
Binocularman

Very nice doughino………if that Swingkeel had of won you would have be in the carribean now! Would have paid over £1500
I personally think a lucky 15 is a brilliant bet – especially when Totesport give treble the odds for one winner.

What a brilliant read of all these lucky 15 stories , brilliant!!
Well im one of these " nearly " punters when it comes to a lucky 15 .
Had a few 3 out of 4 though ……you know the one ….Where you tell fellow punters " Cor look at that , i was unlucky , if that had won i would of had thousands " ( knowing damn well they not interested lol ) but you feel the
need to tell someone.

I have had some luck with other bets and heres one i will never forget .

My girlfriend was pregnant with my son and i promised her a new pram etc . So on the Saturday we went into town and i spent all my money on the pram etc and i had £5.40 left in my pocket and said to her i want to pop in the bookies before getting the train home.
She wasnt to happy and to be honest i could see she wanted to go and i couldnt concentrate with rushing trying to pick my horses to watch on the tele when we got home.
So i said to her " June you pick one and i shall put a fiver on it "
Reluctantly she picked one and oh my god it fell at the bloody 1st fence.
" Come on lets go " she said.
Needless to say i was pissed off ……i had to watch something on tele!
I got a placepot slip and picked out my 6 selections in a matter of seconds! and did 2 lines at 20p lol
I placed my placepot and went home.
Now obviously i cant remember the exact prices etc (16 years ago ) but my 1st leg come in , followed by the second , then the 3rd , then the 4th , im now getting excited , ive just put the running on totals page on teletext …theres only a few hundred quid left in the pool and i got 2 in the 5th leg .
So im watching the 5th leg and my 2 have gone clear ! yessssss ive now got the placepot up for 40p if the last leg comes in.
The 6th leg is not televised and im now watching it on teletext ……oh no ! my horse in the last is 33-1 and its got to come 1st or 2nd ( only 5 runners ) …im not to hopeful now but i retain wishful thinking in that my fav jockey Philip Robinson can get it in.
Then to my horror !!! the 2nd fav gets withdrawn !! …im gutted and sink into that ….why feeling .
My horse has to win now ….
Anyway the page comes at " off " .
Well im covering the television screen over with the paper i got in my hand …the girlfriend thinks im mad lol .
Then it comes up at the bottom of the screen " result "
Im slowly lifting up the paper exposing more of the screen …and yes the fav came 2nd ! but what won it ? I pull the paper quickly away and YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS ive won , ive won i scream , its going to pay big!! yesss im shouting .
" How much you won , how much you won !? "
I check the placepot and there was only £5.80 going on to my horse lol

The dividend come up EXACTLY £6000 odd and a few pennies .

The look on my face must of been a picture ( grin from ear to ear ) when i went in to collect my £2400 for 40p …something i will never forget lol ,

ps does anyone know why the teletext racing service is no longer ? running on totals brtting etc

Hi Brian ,
yes , you are probably correct in that my selections are not good value compared to others , though that is something i consider when actually finalising my selections. The jockeys / trainers though must of had at least 25 rides/runners at the course …which i failed to mention and again out of these i will select from the 10 top jocks/trainers rides/runners from these ( percentage wise ) ….so sometimes you may get value.
For instance sometimes you may get an average jockey who has a good strike rate at a meeting compared to the tops jocks.
Lets take a look at CHESTER ( sunday 2nd ) tomorrow for an example :
Now a jockey there which you wouldnt automatically think was a top jockey at the course is J P GUILLAMBERT . He has won on 12 out of his 61 rides there ( roughly 20 percent ).
So i will now have a look at GUILLAMBERTS rides and if he is riding for a top trainer at the course then i will consider that as a selection .

So lets look at his rides :
He has only 2 rides being
GLENRIDDING and VEROON and both are trained by James GIVEN .

GIVEN has had 6 winners out of 27 runners here and again is in the top 10 trainers there tomorrow with runners ( again you would not autimatically assume this ).

So i would consider on backing both horses but i would want a few more pointers before i would back these :
In this case i have

GLENRIDDING : only course and distance winner in the field
decent weight
prize money good
has won on soft good ground

VEROON : 1ST time cheek pieces
distance to suit
shown abilty on ground

So my conclusion would and will be this :

I shall stake £20 each way on GLENRIDDING at 16-1 ( bet 365 )
I shall stake £10 each way on VEROON at 14-1 ( betfair )
and i shall do a £5 each way double.

So thats just an example of the value you can get …..now the hard part …waiting for them to win .

Thanks for welcomning me to the site Brian and good luck to you too , all the best , binocularman

p.s Dougy Costello has had an amazing 12 winners out of 14 rides at market rasen , so his mounts there must be considered

[binocularman]

Very interesting but the problem is if i gave each of my selections my own price it would be odds on ( because i think it will win obviously ! lol )
I mean why would i back a horse if i think it has a 10 percent chance of winning ? ……thats the problem and also only a very very small number of punters can keep to level staking plans and betting patterns ……im not one of them unfortunately ……good luck , Lance
