    Great horse, a credit to connections

    Have said it so many times, Nicholls is a genius at keeping these old horses sweet and on the go

    On West Ham +0.5 at 2.09

    Gamble on West Brom started pretty late, I'm guessing Pinnacle saw shrewd support at their early lines so anticipated it

    Also backed Chelsea +0.75 at 2.025

    I have watched every hammers game this season live,they are gutless.only reason we will stay up is by default,as in the teams below us are even more woeful.I don't think we will get another point this season.I will be watching them again in about 20 mins from now, obviously we both hope they win.....for different reasons : )

    Just woke up for a half asleep lash.

    Long and Jelavic breaking hearts.

    I presume Fulham got nervy and starting sitting deeper and deeper. I'll watch it later.

    I note you only slag me off after the horse ran moderately. I don't recall you claiming the opinion was misguided before he ran?

    Take a hike, child.

    Pretty seething I got infracted for this and not the swine I was responding to. Whatever happened to the rules surrounding aftertiming?

    As per the forum charter, if you've a problem with modding then PM the mod(s) rather than derailing the thread by posting in thread about it.

    If you've a problem with a post, then report it so the mods can deal with it.

    Ladbrokes still betting on Michael Sam's draft position. Over/under 134.5 now which is more in line with the line the US site mentioned when I first posted it

    He announced it last year. With Oxx's horses being sick for the most part, didn't go down too well.

    Chelsea are an absurd price. Who exactly isn't starting that is available to? Torres/Cahill?

    Great interview with Michael Ronayne on the Marion Finucane show this morning, worth listening to on the player when uploaded, should be later today or tomorrow. For those who don't know Michael, he's the 84 year old trainer of Moon Racer who won the Tattersalls bumper last week, his first ever winner. The horse sold to David Pipe for £225,000 yesterday.

    Thanks for pointing this out. Sounds like an absolute gent.. still riding out at 84 he says!!
    300k Euro profit since August!

    I was reliably informed that Hannah is a slut & Emma has knacker tits

    Seeing as AT is sound here now.....
    As a Liverpool fan and being pessimistic as i am..... i thought the 11/2 on City for the league was way too big considering we had Chelsea this weekend.
    Got the guts of 1k on City @ 11/2

    The winning bet means nothing to me. Zero.

    Losing the bet means even less.

    Fully expect City to win it now.

    Just thinking, City have 3 games left so their variance is probably higher

    i.e. while Liverpool's expected points total is higher if you ran say 1,000,000 sims City would come out on top more times than Liverpool, their points total has more positive skew than Pool's

    I think

    I'll run some (rough) sims in work tomorrow using bookies best odds scaled to 100% to get probabilities

    Not perfect but will give me an idea
