    Post is just a glorified bookies promoter with unbearable pop ups online, I like the owl and a couple of other writers but quality of rest has gone down the toilet last few years

    100% agree

    I am looking for a golf preview similar to the information they have but that is all that I am missing as i found a way to download the cards from it's site like you used to be able to before members club

    So just need a golf preview betting / information site now and will never need to buy again

    The new racing paper was missing a price box for me eg pricewise table

    The likes of Smartgolfbets or golfbettingsystems provide just as much and if not better information for golf. The post usually only have the golf in on Wednesday and by that stage a lot of the value can be gone when the markets are open from the Monday.

    Thanks for that - aware of both but thought Smartgolfbets had gone subscription for some reason

    Smart golf bets probably gives me what I am looking for - just needs to adjust to the format

    Golf betting systems - just seems to finalise my thought process rather than give form picks

    I think the season before last Smartgolfbets had some subs as was linked to some draft site. Recent form, course form and bit of info about the type of course and bobs your uncle. Some weeks I'd delve more into the stats but get them from the tour sites.
    Steve Rawlings writes for Betfair each week and always has good information about the course and if it correlates well with other courses

    Cue Card retired, good to see that comon sense prevailed and he got out unscathed.

    200 mile trip from Beverley to Chelmsford. He races in the 5.25pm, 3 and a bit hours to get to the ride in Chelmsford! I'm having a dabble.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,681 ✭✭✭BumperD


    There may be a connection between the two (trainer/ jock) but it’s a long journey having said that de Souza would go anywhere for a win he’s as hungry and professional a jockey there is

    Just watched the replay there, wonder what price that touched in running. :eek: Surely the lot.

    No idea but you'd imagine hefty double figure.

    EDIT: Oddschecker says Matchbook had 98/1 and Betdaq had 47/1 - say it could have been higher again

    That’s some stake considering the very lengthy losing streaks he’s had. Must have heavy losses.

    Have you ever posted a winner pal? Usually you put up some evens fave de Sousa rag that gets beaten. Oh cheers for posting up a 5/2 shot really appreciate it!! Get rich or die trying eh?

    Your sournesss speaks volumes to any impartial observer. Zimmer is on another level to you altogether. He wasn't far off landing a huge 5 timer there and it was posted well in advance of the races. I followed him with small stakes and made a few hundred. I made loads from a lucky 15 he landed a year or so back. Have you ever landed a lucky 15 and posted it here?

    As for his unbelievable stake. It's not unusual that punters would stake hundreds or even thousands on one of the biggest racing meets of the season. It wouldn't be for me now but for serious people who study the form, 124 quid would be small stakes.
