If anyone gets any decent tips be sure to throw them up, ill do the same! My friend works up in the airport and whenever any of the big race festivals are on there are always trainers going through giving him tips! He actually got a couple of really good ones last year! I never bet big really myself, €20 a race max but it's only for a bit of fun i haven't a clue what i'm at really ha!

SpaceCowb0y · 10-03-2014 01:40PM

This is horrific... phone has been blowing up all morning with people looking for stuff to be done too! God damn selfish people...

€20 would be my max too. I generally stick to a tenner though.

I always find if you share a tip it never wins tbh.

One of the syndicate owners of Our Conor who won at last years festival (subsequently sold for a cool million) posts on another site I'm on. Huge jumps fan and usually goes will with his predictions. His day 1 thoughts below

Race 1. A very very open Supreme Novices Hurdle. So much so that Gilgamboa sacrifices a handicap opportunity off 140 in favour of this. I thought I was being a smart lad a few weeks ago by having a poke at Josses Hill 11/1 EW - 16/1 is now available that BJG has deserted him. I am basically playing pikey on this race. Will Hill have gone 5 places EW so have backed Vaotaur EW @ 7/2 and Gilgamboa EW @ 11/1. I am very negative on Irving. Were it not for the 5 place concession I would not have had another bet.

Race 2. Arse of a race. Trifolium has apparently had an awful preparation so I have to swerve him. When it all boils down despite me saying he is for taking on I am starting to think that 3/1 Champagne F is a bet, but only if you feel you really want to have a bet. I am happy to sit it out. Grandouet schooling terrible apparently so happy to leave alone also.

Race 3. When I did this race earlier Time For Rupert jumped off the page at me and I backed him at 16/1. King Massini & Tour De Champs were the other ones of interest.

Race 4. Our Conor beats The New One and Hurricane Fly.

Race 5. Quevega will win barring a mishap, 10/11 looks too big for her. The play in this race is to take the 2nd fav, Cockney Sparrow, on in every market you can - I don't believe she will stay.

Race 6. Can't see past Shutthefrontdoor or Foxrock.

Race 7. I have backed Art Of Logistics (12/1) and Manyriverstocross (10/1).

Mr.Prodston · 10-03-2014 11:26PM

I'll be missing the races tomorrow thanks to pesky college but I'll have a gander and see what catches my eye. Not that I know anything nor will my bets exceed €1 but it's for one week only.

My one rule/philosophy is if in doubt go for whoever Richard Johnson is riding, purely irrational on my part. He just happened to win me a race or two a few years back when I first got into the races. Well him and Ruby :pac:

If youtube had a clip I'd be linking The Simpsons' "She's the fastest" joke.

finnharpsboy · 11-03-2014 07:27AM

I only ever back a horse 3 times a year, cheltenham, the irish and english grand nationals.
€20 a day max for cheltenham is my limit.
Here's my first effort of the day
One can dream........

Is that BCB? He was Head of Poker at Paddy's a few years back, think he went on to work at Boyles in some sports capacity. If I remember correctly he knows his stuff. I'll post a few tips on here over the course of the week as I get them. Our Conor in the 3:20 seems a decent shout, have heard this from a few traders and you can still get 11/2...

I love being in Gibraltar for Cheltenham week. Second only to being at the races!

KevIRL · 11-03-2014 11:10AM

Yep thats him rory. In some high up position in tote now.

Lemlin · 11-03-2014 02:00PM

I'm going Wicklow Brave and Vaniteux in the first. €2 e/w on both.

Watch that big money roll in

Shame the dream of €700 is over.....

finnharpsboy · 11-03-2014 03:49PM

finnharpsboy · 11-03-2014 04:38PM

roryc · 11-03-2014 04:52PM

I've given up. My ten euro didn't last long yesterday and reminded me why I stopped horse betting since college. I just don't have the time for decent research.

In college, we'd go around to the newsagents and one each would buy a paper. Then we'd study all the form and tips for the day and.....

then just look for where Ruby Walsh was running and bet on his horses all day :rolleyes:

I almost recouped today's losses with Balthazar King, still in the red from yesterday. I wouldn't do more than a tenner a day anyway.

finnharpsboy · 13-03-2014 07:00AM

So after winning the paltry sum of €1.13 on tuesday, yesterday the profit from cheltenham soared to over €6.50. Last night did rangers, sheff utd, wigan, psg and barca in a €2.00 accum winning €13.82, so thats todays kitty sorted

FHFC · 14-03-2014 05:04PM

Thanks Lord Windermere for breaking my losing streak!! Backed him at 20/1 seconds before the off. He was last the whole way round so true to my recent form. Then the fecker went and won it.

My comeback starts here!!!!

2.5 each, my first bet since the Our Conor debacle.

Let our meteoric rise in the fpl rankings start here my friend.

No stopping us now.

Why yes, I am in a pub. What of it???
