Sky news reporting Ladbrokes closing 50 shops in UK. Profits have collapsed by 32%. No surprise.

Rough on the staff affected.

Yet they employ Jim Mullen recently and give him a salary of £500,000! Gas stuff

How much do you REALLY know about racing?

Gavin "shels" · 23-04-2015 12:38AM

Could be imagining things but did AP McCoy have a winner a few years back, right from the back of the field to win it? Was a midweek lesser meeting iirc.

Wasn't Wichita Lineman in the 2009 William Hill Trophy.

To be honest there are plenty more races matching your description but this is the most recent I could think of. Matched at 1000 on betfair

He's been luckless the last couple of seasons. Very tough for him but health is wealth, best of luck to him in his future career.

I'm sure no one here does listen or follow BornetobyWilde on his tips in this forum or the gambling forum but he has been deleting and editing posts for a while now(after his tip loses). I've pointed it out to mods.

This is just a word of warning to take no heed of his 'inside word from the yard' lark.
I know it's not the end of the world but it really frustrates me that someone somewhere might be putting a euro or two down based on information he is clearly fabricating.

Ya I've seen this Craic going on for awhile now deleting tips that don't come even close to winning the ban hammer would want to come out for this carry on.

Agreed. Mods are too harsh on posters winding people up or even talking nonsense in discussions but there is no place for lies/back tracking aftertiming on this forum

Just after reading the John Oxx stable tour on ATR, Michael D Higgins has an unraced 3 yo Pivotal filly with him. My opinion on him has improved quite dramatically!

sdoc13 · 08-05-2015 10:19PM

Jesus Hugh Taylor and Gary O Brien are on some hot run lately. Taylor got 2 out of 2 today and Gary chipped in with a winner with his only pick. I dont follow them often particularly as the price evaporate so quick but still some going lately,

tomaussie · 09-05-2015 12:41PM

Think Everton, Villa and Hull treble looks very good today.

Add WBA for a nice 16/1 accum.

Would like to see Newcastle go down.

Peintre Celebre · 09-05-2015 05:54PM

Does Wayne Bailey still post here

sdoc13 · 14-05-2015 02:23PM

I hear a train a coming. CHOO CHOO. PC you spot the 1 you have been waiting on entered saturday.

sdoc13 · 14-05-2015 08:53PM

Another double for Hugh Taylor today. Lycidas advised 9/1 SP 8/1 and Yorkshire Dales advised 8/1 SP 5/1.

Peintre Celebre · 15-05-2015 04:40PM

I see one Sunday. All aboard

the groutch · 15-05-2015 10:57PM

almost certain what horse it is

tomaussie · 16-05-2015 08:46AM

This looks a steal.

The legend that is Steven Gerrard is 7/2 with Betfair to be sky sports MOTM today. Next best price is 7/4 with William hill.

It doesnt give you the option on the betslip though once you click that link

Remarkably difficult to find.
Go to Football / Specials, then within that you'll eventually find a 'Gerard Anfield Farewell' section.

To be substituted against Palace 1/4
To be booked 15/8
To score a set piece 3/1
To cry on camera 5/6
Man of the match 7/2
To score and kiss the Camera 8/1
To miss a penalty 16/1
To announce he isn't leaving 16/1
To Be Sent Off 20/1
To Score an Own Goal 25/1
To thank Jesus in his Speech 33/1

Only one I was interested in was MOTM. Tried €20. Told max = €0.13. Decided to keep it gentlemanly and not go for max. Tried €0.12. Told MIN = €0.13. Took that! Be the most satisfying (and worst hourly rate) €0.45 I ever win!
