Considering the next horse was 25/1. I would have if my next pick was 25/1 Link to comment

Is it? If you no intention of letting the bet run, why put the last horse on it at all? The only people happier than him today are the boys at betfair. 52 minutes ago, maryhilldon said: I would have if my next pick was 25/1 Why put the 25/1 shot on the acca at all then? ?

He'll have had every intention in letting it run but I'm almost certain he'll have expected at least 1 horse on that bet to not run. Judging by his interview he's a very smart gambler, has multiple other bets running that are relying on Envoi Allen as well, it's a life changing amount, he's got himself a decent deal in the end as well.

Betfair will have already had their liabilities reduced, we have no idea what his financial situation is, had he just let that run and the horse falls, how is he going to handle that, £322k/£250k the field, add in that betfairs maximum payout on future horse bets is just 250k he's eliminated some hassle.

If you were on Deal or No Deal and you were left with a quid or £250,000 and you got offered £100,000, would you gamble cos the main point of going on the show is trying to win the main prize?

That's not a comparable situation. a comparable situation would be I had £50k and £250k and let them pay me £100k. The bookies assess his chances of winning at 1/2. He's bet on that 1/2 shot at 9/2 but has let the bookie pay him evens. I understand why he's done it. It's big money. That doesn't mean I think it's the right thing to do though. Link to comment

I think I'd probably still take the 100k in that situation also tbh ? Link to comment

manboobs109 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Is the placepot still a big thing? Not bet a horse in years but used to enjoy a good go at the pp at Cheltenham. First day used to have some amazing payouts Link to comment

The Cockney Don Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Treble on Jonbon in the 1.30, Honeysuckle in the 3.30 and Powerful Position in the 4.30 at Sedgefield. @19/1. My each-way fancy is Doctor Brown Bear @22/1 in the Cheltenham 4.50 race. Link to comment

perthshirered Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 The biggest fannies in sport, any sport, are folk that go to the racing wearing scarves in the colours of a particular horse. Absolute twats. Semi acceptable if you are the owner but, otherwise, I'd hand out on the spot executions to those guilty. Link to comment
