You refer to those who may disagree with you as idiots! Whether you like it or not everyone is entitled to air their views and I certainly will continue to do so.

The only abuse handed out here is coming from yourself and the rest of the mutual admiration society who resent the act that some of us pay no attention to the nonsense emanating from an incestuous little clique who think these pages are just for yourself and a few delusional fellow travellers.

Long time lurker, always read this thread and the stallions one. Different kind of knowledge imparted than the general betting/after timing ones.

Thumbs up from me..........

Thats the difference between the two forums I suppose. I think most people here have an actual interest in the sport itself mixed in with some betting.

The gambling forum is mostly fairly generic "2.50 wolverhampton unlucky last time etc etc" type posts. Mixed in with some blatant aftertiming/boasting. Most people posting over there dont seem to appreciate the difference between picking a few winners and making an actual profit.

Jaysus,do you actually believe that you lot are some kind of elite? and those of us who bet regularly are just people who know little or nothing about pedigrees an breeding?

Well I can tell you that I have a great interest in breeding racehorses and have an interest in a well bred yearling,i have been in many racing yards and hope to visit many more.

You have an outdated view of the racing world,it is no longer the landed gentry who exclusively control racing.

The last couple of lines of your patronising post suggests that the clique who are critical of me and look down their noses at those who post on the fancies thread are in some way inferior to them and yourself .

Your last line,where you claim that "Most people over there don't seem to appreciate the difference between picking a few winners and actually making a profit" is pure fantasy and actually implies that profits are being made by those on the "other thread"

I do not see much evidence of the profits being made and it is probably a figment of your class ridden and fertile imagination.

No im saying thats the difference between the two forums. Ive never seen one post on the gambling forum about something other than betting. Just link me to a recent thread with nothing to do with gambling to prove me wrong. People have different interests, thats why there are two separate forums.

You seem to spend a lot of time worrying about what other people "imply" and "suggest".

I think you may find a clue in the titles of the threads you refer to.

One is titled "fancies for today" and the other is the tips thread,could'nt be easier,I collect antiques and I keep any thought on antiques in the appropriate thread and say nothing about Georgian furniture or pre Raphaelite art on the fancies page.

Yes exactly what I was saying. Most people on the gambling forum are interested in fancies and "tips", those are the only two active threads.

Ah now, there's golf, lotto (the advice is don't buy yourselves any golden xmas raffle tickets this year, it's 1.011%c chance from a 35% fundbase. Separately another chap got his triple sequential 1500/1 balls last week).

Occasional novelties (tv/specials) and of course politics (the many, many Trump 25/1 pages from '16 are a great entertaining read through).

Then there's the aftertiming, doing what it does. That recent 49,000/1 near six-fold is a pretty sight, but just failed to materialise (was too greedy), next time just five-fold.

Sorry, I was referring to the Horse Racing Gambling sub forum.

You need to declare a wind op from 19th of January in England now. Good for punters.
I think it should be up to connections to declare if they want.
Don't think coolmore will be too happy with it either, declaring wind ops (sometimes more than one) on future stallions

krustydoyle · 23-11-2017 12:42PM

Just finished the Harry Findlay book.. Really good read.. Some mad stories in it.. Has anyone picked up the Fallon book yet?? I have it ordered on Amazon.. Got it for â‚¬13 all in

Depressing stuff, pays the fine and is still about 15000 better off from that one bet. They were chatting away like old pals aswell, he should have been banned on the assumption that this was/is a regular setup.

Gregk961 · 30-11-2017 12:21AM

My mistake just seen he lost! Good!

Rotten stuff alright, did nothing happen to Ladbrokes, knowing of a non running fav and shortening it to increase rule 4

That clown Luke Harvey will be laughing. His horse is a winner at 66/1 just there at the first at Towcester.

Ah, bit harsh Francie...he's not the worst.
Always has the expression of a man who still can't believe he got the job when on ITV

Even worse - to watch people who haven't a bog just going for a piss up...

And on that note, think I'll be going on Stephens Day this year rather than the 27th as normal due to starting a new job!
