I've got a bunch of those as well!

It’s a bit of fun ain’t it mate . Keeps me entertained that’s for sure. Providing I keep it fun there’s no problem.

How do you get these free spins? 

Ladbrokes Instant Spins (spin the wheel you might win free spins)

Coral Rewards Grabber

PaddyPower Wonder Wheel (Quite often it's the Wonder Why I bother Wheel)

William Hill Bonus Drop (Also look out for the promo banners in the Sports Betting and Vegas tabs offer 5 free spins every couple of days)

If you win something on the free spins don't be tempted to keep spinning, I've been doing this everyday (while I've been well) for the past 4 years and know painfully how easy it is to see a bunch of money get leached from your account. Keep the money and pump it into your horse bets. Between the free spins winnings and winnings on my horse bets I've not had to put money into any of my bookies accounts since May. Admittedly I don't bet big so I'm happy if I win enough to cover my bets.

Also have a crack at ITV7 (its not every day though), Betway 4 to Win (this is every day, £1000 to £10,000 jackpot), Coral Racing Super Series (every Saturday, this is pick horses to place - I've won a share of the jackpot a few times (only a couple of hundred quid))

Anyone up for a bit of fun on a Saturday racing? Each one of us pick our bet of the day, could be your banker or a horse you think is overpriced etc etc then we use it in a patent lucky 15 or lucky 31 depending how many of us put up. Got to be careful obviously because bookies can get arsy with groups of people putting up same accas but should be ok.

You're telling me. I've done the mistake of changing the horse.

I had Tip Top Mountain originally, and changed it to Blade Runner. Hopefully it doesn't come to bite me on the arse.

I weren’t going to bother myself but thought my selection was overpriced then looked this morning and he was down to 12s so thought sod it I’ll go with him but I could have went with so many.

I see Henrietta Knight is making a come back to training after an 11 year absense.

Hopefully she is granted her new licence before January and we see her back at the winners enclosure by Cheltenham Festival come March.

Many of us will know that she is most famous for being the trainer of 'Best Mate' who won 3 Cheltenham Gold Cups in a row - owned by the late great Jim Lewis who was an avid Villa fan himself.
