    Compared to PP what are they like to bet with?

    I bet with them about 95% of the time, they have loads of markets, plenty of free bets and they have the Channel 4 offer, if you back a winner on Channel 4 at 4/1 or bigger you get a free bet for the same amount in the next live race on C4.

    If you don't have an account with them open one, they give you about €200 in free bets with various caveats, great for big punting at Cheltenham:)

    Suppose they would be ok for online stuff. But they don't have shops so not much good for most punters.

    Bet365 have been brilliant since I've been with them anyways, great offers including the parlay bonus one which is handy come NFL season time.

    All my ante-post has been with them, PP and Betfair. Have a few other accounts with other firms but the odds are either terrible or just have issues over service etc.

    I can't see him winning on good ground. No reason why Alberta's Run won't win it for a 3rd time IMO

    I've given up trying to 2nd guess Willie Mullins. I backed him NRNB in the 3 miler

    Not for me in the Neptune tbh. Next years RSA winner though!

    But don't you have to play through the free money like 3 times if you win? I'm sure they get the vast majority of it back. Bookmakers do have good offers sometimes, especially around Cheltenham time, but 90% of the time the exchanges are the way to go. Why bet on markets that at the very best are 110% when instead you can have a 100% market every time

    Just a couple questions to anyone that feels like answering about antepost/betting on the day -

    How much of your staking do you reckon has been done ante-post comapred to what you'll bet on the day? For example, I've pretty much most races covered on the first day already with ante-post bets but will probably stake go in on SS and HF on the day again for a few quid but only about half of what I've staked antepost on all the races. i.e. antepost bets for Tuesday is €100+ and will probably bet around €50 on the day.

    Also what's your ante-post 'portfolio' (for want of a better word) shaping up like with only a few days left? Interesting to see what sort of odds you go and how they fare out now.

    Mine at the moment looks like this:
    Al Ferof with PP @ 5/1 MB Special; HF @ 10/11; 2-3 Accums with HF @ 4/5, SS @ 5/4, Long Run @ 9/4, Scotsirish @ 5/2 and Sizing @ 5/4; Garde Champetre @ 8/1; Tiger O'Toole @ 33/1; Tullamore Dew @ 12/1; Harpsy Cord @ 20/1.

    Binocular TBP @ 1.91; Overturn TBP @ 10.0 Montbazon @ 11.5; Trifolium @ 19.0; Bobs Worth @ 6.4;.. and two fails Voler La Vedette @ 7.4 and Bog Warrior @ 22.0 for RSA.

    All NRNB bar the Betfair odds.

    * and after writing all that out, I probably should've just asked what your steal was so far in antepost betting.. bah.

    I've done 4 bets, I'm happy enough so far.

    Binocular at 6/1 for the CH in a double with Quevega at 4/7 antepost.
    33/1 Holmwood Legend for the Byrne Plate NRNB
    Grand Vision at 14/1 for the Pertemps antepost
    Champion Court 10/1 for the Jewson antepost

    Still cant believe Pipe is doodling over entries for Grand Crus - he surely knows well which he will go for however sees fit to keep it to himself

    Cant believe anyone on here picks any horse other than Grand Crus for the RSA - gives weight to the philosophy of absolving the democratic right of one man one vote from society :D

    Think he's in the Martin Pipe race too. Russell said Wednesday that Carlito runs in the Coral Cup rather than the World Hurdle.
