On the conspiracy thing, the other week in bets I had a number of horses withdrawn for the reason of 'unsuitable ground or going', even though they'd all run on the same going in previous races.

Yeah. Nothing suspicious about that whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago my typical Saturday would be a few small stakes footy accas, a few Lucky 15s on Horses etc. Scattered £100 across all the bets. I got tired of one team always letting me down or only getting one winner on each lucky 15 and not seeing much return compared to outlay. The one feeling that would return more often than not.. Why didn't I just lump the whole lot on that one horse I fancied the most to begin with? So now, in the Jumps off-season, I just have a quick glance on a Saturday at the live TV races (ignoring football accas altogether) and then after a glance at the race cards, I go all in on the horse I strongly fancy the most that day. It will be a different strategy in a few weeks once the Jump racing really starts to kick in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I get your approach Rigs , if you’re spending 100 a week that’s a wise way of doing things lumping on your nap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, it's not something I'm doing every week, only occasionally. I dare say there will be more involvement during the Jumps season but the stakes won't be as high.

It's just something different about that side of it compared to flat. Edit: I was giving this a thought the other day there, how many horse racing fans/punters do we actually have on VT?

Will have the occasional flutter on the big flat events like Royal Ascot, but i find it harder to follow; seems to be more horses and they get retired more quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
