    I apologize in advance for the after timing but I'm hoping at this stage there's enough cred to do it...I always hope that when I really hit the big winnings im at the racecourse..
    I had all winners at the punchestown on Friday except for jezki..I closed off The season with my biggest winnings ever to a scenario where I offered to bring my Missus, young lad and my mam in law away to Espana for a week in a plush hotel and my Missus can't go because of her business..I'm no way close to big time like many posters on here are but to know I bet the bookies on the second last day of the season I feel like I accomplished something! May the good times roll..I'll be a little quiet during the summer except when Peter Bowens horses run.

    I might be counting my chickens but the draft looks like an absolute license to print money so far. Backed a 2s shot this morning that I can arb with a 3s shot! Backed a 4/7 shot that should be 1/16 in addition to Colonels bets and a few more. The lads sticking these up couldnt price a loaf of bread

    Just checked the decs for Chester on Wednesday. PP have Bright Approach priced up at 11/4 for the Cheshire Oaks. Form of her easy maiden win is working out great with the 2nd Be My Gal winning a listed race on Saturday against older fillies and the 3rd place Talmada winning a maiden easily by 7 lengths at York. Bright Approach ran green on debut and was well on top at the finish with plenty of scope for improvement i thought she would be more of a 6/4 shot then 11/4. PP are nr no bet and im sure this filly is going to go off shorter on Wednesday afternoon. Worth having a look at her maiden win if any of you get a chance.

    To be making much profit on arbing Hulk I assume your on Betfair? Bookies would surely be wise to this and plant restrictions on your fairly quickly

    The 4/7 shot is gone

    The 2/1 is Johnny Manziel 1st QB drafted. Was only with Betfair Sportsbook tho & the max stake wasn't very big

    Backed the 2/1 Manziel with Boyles a few times and had a nice wedge in shops this morning, which they chopped after it was rang through. Can arb at 3s with a US firm. Not sure if I will. Have Clowney for the 1st pick at 13/8, theres still value in the current 1/2

    Hah I know only to well, ive been closed by 2/3rds of the ones on oddschecker. I rarely arb these days, usually just try to back movers.

    Id assume everyone has a betfair at this stage?? I rarely use betfair exchange though, as its usually the right line, and I dont like paying 5% commision when im getting no advantage

    Looks like being landed

    In fairness to pool if City win the league at least they'll have messed up vs the 3rd place team. Look at the motley crew who've taken points off Chelsea in 2014

    Edit: spoke WAY too soon! Pool has been 1.01 to lay

    Btw any idea what happens if Michael Sam isn't drafted?

    Is it a winner, loser or void?

    Yep I know that one well. Its a great site for info and his draft stuff is good. But generally hes a clown. He mainly does NFL picks (bets) during the regualar season and is a good example of how Americans know absolutely nothing about gambling. But yeah, Manziel at 4 looks to be a good consensus

    Winner winner chicken dinner. You can hedge that bet out at 12's on betfair sports if you so wished, although i'll pay you the money myself if it doesnt win its that certain

    That line was already out to 49.5 I think when you posted it. I didn't do it fwiw.
