Yes it’s tosh but value can be had on this market more than any other.
Last year’s trends – Lay the initial favourite for every eviction, wait until the conspiracy theorists start up on the BF forum and back the initial fav at a greater price. <br>Back anyone who leaves the house for any period of time – They suddenly become interesting to the other housemates and also avoid eviction.
Tips for this year
The general public are desperate to see some shagging on this show and will surely keep in any housemates who look most likely to … <br>Back Stuart and Michelle who are being set up as possibles. Lay them later after the first five evictions.<br>
Terrible, terrible news.
I echo the comments made by everyone on here. All mature and sombre.
Interesting thread this. <br>Hands up all those going to Nottingham tomorrow then.:) <br>Southwell may not be a very popular place but we went last Friday and had a great day. Especially at the sweet stall under the stand!
Learned Lad. Lingfield 3.45<br>Can anyone explain why this horse was fancied on Betfair this afternoon. The first betting show on ATR didn’t even have the horse listed yet it was being backed at 16-1 despite being 20-1 with Hills and 57.00 with the tote?<br>The horse won easily, its first win in 21 attempts and it was being ridden by a jockey with some of the worst percentages on the AW.<br>At the off there was over 500 quid available to lay and about a tenner available to back.<br>Could it be that someone knew something?

Horse running in the 2.25<br>1st Time Blinkers<br>Name?
Great View<br>:biggrin: <br>
Good points made by the forum but what I found annoying about the programme was the sensational way it revealled all these dirty secrets about horse racing.<br>This tabloid tv is brain candy for the masses. If you watch The Simpsons, watch the episode called Homer Badman. It shows up these programmes for what they are. <br>Bring back serious debate and proper investigation.<br>
We’ll show you how easy it is to fix a horse race!!!!!!<br>By running a horse into contention – Seven lengths behind the leader and then pull it up!!<br>How is this fixing a horse race?
Don’t worry about today Matron.  Ayr 5.00 was the first fav to win today!  A great day for layers like me!<br>Evening meetings have not been as good though <br>The betting Gods giveth etc

A quick way to switch between windows – ctrl + shift. Very useful when switching between oddschecker and betfair!<br>
Another reason why some of the last race favourite loose could be down to fact that a lot of last races are either bumpers or hunter chases. With so few of these run during a season the form is, at best, patchy. Punters often go for a bumper that won last time out without considering the oppostion, going, distance etc.<br>However, I think Larry’s opinion about people chasing losses on the last ‘get out’ race is about right.<br> I once went to Haydock with a group of Rugby players who considered the last race fav a cert, whatever the form. Hence all remaining money left in the kitty was placed on the fav at 3-1. The fav went off at 7-4 and finished a very distant seventh… out of seven! According to one member of the group, it was the jockey’s fault:cheesy: <br>Interestingly, the 2nd fav won.<br>I would be interested in seeing stats on first race favs. I’m sure bookies don’t mind them winning. Confidence soars, beer flows, stakes rise etc to an obvious conclusion.
