    I doubt you will get banned for winning on a flukey acc.

    They will want to get their money back so will want you back in.

    If there unpleasent just give them the loose change from the bet and say you dont deal in loose change any more .:D

    I will tell ye a interesting story, i know a person who works in a particular bookies head office, one day a punter a regular won over 100,000 Eur in the financial markets, a meeting was called in headquarters and there was a big discussion whether to limit the guys account to next to nothing, finally a decison was reached to let the guy keep betting as there was a more than 75% chance that he would loose it all again.

    Unless the guy was a pro (which is near impossible in the financial markets) ...that was a good decision.

    my greyhound GOLDEN HIGHWAY won the 2nd race (8.10) at curraheen park tonight @ 3/1,backed into 2/1,won by half a length to the 6/4 favourite in the grade A4 flat 525...:D
    love it, as the lads came up to see him run for the first time,,along with the brother who owns him aswel..love it when a plan like that all comes together..out in the town for the night now and exams monday,what am i like...:pac:

    Cheers for the tip :P

    out of interest did the trainer tell ye it would win before hand?

    well up until this week it was having difficulties getting out of the traps,,hence the previous poor results,trainer said there was massive improvement which was obvious as i had helped this week as i had a week off for study...
    he had gone off at evens after being backed from 9/2 before and come 6th,but that was drunk money that was on him not owners...
    so yes a win was on the cards and it was going to be this race or the next that he would take...very easy to get winners in greyhound racing as all owners more or less know eachother and sometimes useful info can be passed which punters know sweet **** all about..like golden highway being **** at getting out of the traps until recently....it can be so easy when it wants to be..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,853 ✭✭✭Kod-box


    Yeah i know that the owners usually know only too well which dog is due to win etc, can usually tell by the gambles on track, was surprised your one was only 2/1 though, must have been the factor of getting out of the traps as you said then, is it due to run anytime soon again?

    he was only 2/1 as the favourite had a very good chance too,we know the owners so were talking to them before the off aswel,they had a serious amount on their dog which put doubts on ours as you never know if their telling the truth,they knew about our dog being poor out of the traps but we never mentioned the improvment he made...
    not sure if its running again anytime soon,thats up to how well he recovers and the trainer...
    will post here when he does though and rate his chances if thats any good..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,853 ✭✭✭Kod-box


    Nice one and fair play with the win, hopefully he pays for himself now for the future.

    That is what's bad in racing and dogs that needs to be addressed,the insider information aspect.
