If you read Racing UK’s booklet (new one) which gets delivered through the post if you’re a member, Graham Cunningham admits he too once referred to Sandy Thomson as a woman.
Mistakes happen they always have and they always will.
What’s all this 3m rubbish?
If The New One goes to the Champion Hurdle without another run and makes the running that is by far his best chance of winning at the festival particularly as we don’t know what’s happening with Faugheen and Annie Power.
Other than those two the race is wide open.
Racing today was due to take place in southwell on the All Weather track but it has been abandoned due to the weather. How can this track be described as all weather.
Meanwhile racing goes ahead on two of the softest jumps courses in the UK.
Oh dear, not this same old nonsense. The weather is extreme and the course is flooded. Any course could flood doesn’t matter what it’s called. Do you expect the horses to swim? A good tweet by Simon Rowlands on this.
Hope pedants who gleefully point out that “all-weather” does not quite mean ALL weather pause for a while to consider term “steeplechasing”.
It isn’t nonsense though is it? ALL weather means ALL weather. Therefore for the meeting to be abandoned because of the weather is a contradiction in terms.
RP website same as normal here, and with no link in top banner.
Same here, whether signed in or not.
Judge. You’ve pinpointed the problem right there. You can’t afford to bet to £50’s, you need to get real with your staking, start with stakes you can afford and up them when your bank doubles. It maybe boring betting to tenners but it won’t be watching your winnings grow and not enduring the stress of going skint just before the inevitable next winner. Bookies love punters that bet too big for their boots – they’ll always get you in the end.
I’m not sure that’s the only problem though. It’s my belief that most losing punters (of which I’d count myself as one) tend to blame bankroll management as the reason they are not winning, choosing to ignore the fact that they probably didn’t have an “edge” in the first place.
That’s why betting tenners a time doesn’t interest me, I feel that I wouldn’t get any excitement out of it and I’d probably get ground down over the course of time in any case.
This is why I’m so surprised that almost everyone on these forums claim to be winners, apparently 95 percent of punters are long term losers, and yet when you go on a forum this seems to swing the other way. I’d like to hear from those posters who have experienced the other side, and are honest enough to admit that they are losing overall.
It can’t surely be that being intelligent enough to put a sentence together means you are bound to be a sure-fire winner?
I believe statistically 92% of punters are long term losers. How many people percentage-wise post on such forums? I’d estimate way less than 1%. How many members does this site have compared to regular “bettors”? It stands to reason that successful people tend to migrate to their own kind, it’s sort of human nature.
An even harder day for Nicky, and all at Seven Barrows, with the untimely
demise of Simonsig. It can be a hard sport, commiserations to all.Yep. You have to enjoy the good times when they come because you can be kicked in the teeth anytime, much like life. RIP Simonsig.
Own up: I can’t be the only one who had a tear in their eye watching Sprinter parade at Cheltenham just now.
I cried I admit it.
I think is pretty unkind to call someone an idiot for making a mistake. Everyone makes them.
We were treated to an amazing season with him last season which lets be honest was one huge bonus. I don’t think anyone can complain about him retiring as a champion, he deserves that.
Incredible horse, lets hope he has a long and happy retirement.
You get paid out half of what you would’ve had your horse won outright i.e. 4/1 winner becomes 2/1 winner.
He is the most dull, boring racing presenter there is.
If you want a cure for insomnia he’s yer man.
You have backed three of the seven including the favourite. You’re gonna make a fortune on this race.
The repulsive Plunkett gets in. The mind boggles, it really does.
Turner, Pendleton ……….. come on WHY?
Luke village idiot Harvey, Mick grate voice Fitzgerald.
Top team ITV. I won’t be watching and I suspect neither will many other “potential” viewers. This project has failure written all over it even before it starts.
The ride on Seventh Heaven was a complete cock up. Whoever decided the tactics for that ride got it completely wrong, I knew once they’d run about a hundred yards the horse had got no chance.
Gore is funny. The trick is not to take him too seriously. There are many people in life you just have to humour.
The favourite got beat in the Irish Champion so Gore is probably skint and drowned himself.
I think ATR is absolutely awful for raceday coverage. There is never any atmosphere, the presenters are largely shocking and it looks like a bunch of mates have just decided to put a production together. Their coverage is boring!
RUK’s raceday coverage is a million times more professional, more interesting and overall better.
ATR have better feature programmes though i.e. Ask The Handicapper, Sunday Forum. RUK need to step up here. This Racing Life and its hundred subsequent repeats doesn’t do it for me and The Verdict with Willoughby is a hard watch.
