Last post on the old thread....

Just beer money really, but it will pay for my all day drinking session on Monday plus a kebab at night that I probably wont be able to remember eating.

I was going to put a daft pound (only because I had that accy, wouldn't usually do them daft bets) on the draw when Chelsea were 4-1 up, but I had football manager on and couldn't be bothered minimizing the screen.
Wasn't sure how the Leeds game was going as my mates at the game never text back, so thought I would leave it, but yes when it got to 4-3, I was wishing I had backed the draw.



Like I said a few weeks ago, I started an online account as I wanted to see how much money it would save me as I get abit hyperactive on the FOBT's. I do however know the risk and damage that online accounting could cause if not fully self-disciplined.


I haven't been in the bookies for a month and half, and I am in "steady" profit. It's more enjoyable imo as casinos are the most soleless places I have ever been in, and bookies are full of money making gimmicks such as "virtual speedway, wtf".


Apologise for the essay there, really I should of wrote that on one of Mick Gledhills gambling topics, but anyway, anyone backing on the snooker which is starting soon?
I've got 2 pound on Murphy

I think online can make you more disciplined as statements do not lie and you can see what you put on and how you did.



Do much better when I stay out of the bookies myself.

Looking good for the Campbell/Perry backer as does not look a great day for low scoring and no one seems to be making much of a move and steady play in their rounds should see both in a good position to seal you a nice profit tomorrow.

End of 3rd Round Odds


Cabrera 5/2

Perry 5/2

Furyk 13/2

Campbell 9/1

Woods 20/1

Stricker 22/1

Got to be happy with that... Campbell blew it a bit in those last three holes to drop a couple of shots behind, but still there in 3rd and Perry looking steady as joint leader.

Should be some profit in it for me, how much though is the question.. Ideally I'd like Campbell to win and Perry for a place, but Perry to win and Campbell o place would be brilliant also.. Just happy to still have a major interest on the final day.

Also got six out of six on the football this aft, so things looking good..

Interesting stat that something like 18 out of the last 19 winners were in the last group out so that makes it a two horse race between Cabrera and Perry but I do not think its that simple though both did show good nerves when they might have stumbled at points in todays round.

My pre-tournament chances died when Jiminez went from -2 to +5 in no time so no top European for him

Had a good look at the Mares Novices Hurdle at Fairyhouse and had lined up a nice bet each way on Shirley Casper at 11's but opted to top up on Proportional in the Guineas.

Result - Shirley Casper wins and Proportional is turned over in her trial at 1/2

ooops Has Black Bear Island had his trial race in France yet???

Salford +26 with Laddies, Rhinos haven't clicked all season and unless the team suddenly click tomorrow there's no way we'll win by over 26.

Yeah - he finished third under a very very tender ride from Johnny Murtagh. Wouldn't right him off just yet.

Yeah just read about it on teletext......the jury is out as they say

Leeds -20 looks the better option with Boylesports.

Used my free bet balance from Karlsson and Goosen missing the cut and put it on Mickelson at 33s. If he can keep this up its looking good for a place

All my golf selections falling through, so facing no payout on the Masters for the first time in years have backed Flesch e/w at 66/1

Going well at the moment after 7 holes...

Still happy with the way things are going and am gonna be really unlucky not to be collecting, Woods and Mickleson looking ominous in behind the leaders though..

You're being kind. It wasn't a great ride from Murtagh who got boxed in . However, regardless of the winner getting first run, BBI wouldn't have beaten the second either as it quickened past him far too easily. Too soon to write off but on form to date (just a maiden win) nothing to get overly excited about either.

Didn't quite have enough



Same as my other main selection Ogilvy, who finished well but too, little too late.

Unlucky Upthecats, still a nice few quid for you though and a lot of excitement and drama for your money.

3-0 to the bin dippers tonight 40/1 is tempting me into a small punt!

Quite Fancy Bayern to bounce back tonight, Barca will be cruising and Bayern have a lot of pride to play for.

9/5 best price

Was surprised they are that big as Barca can coast home without leaving 3rd gear.

Don't think Maters involvees will shine in this weeks US golf and going fotr Brian Gay (100/1) and Micheal Letzig at 125/1 to prevail.

China Open is a minefield as last 2 years has been won by a street by players who were fairly unknown at the time (and in truth are not much better known now!!!!).

Derby buzzer runs in the first for Henry Cecil at Newmarket tommorow - Native Ruler as short as 20's for the big one and runs in the 10f maiden, this is the real start of the flat season.

Interesting new sales race too with Liberation being the first runner for Godolphin along with a number of Derby entries and the Crowded House form tested with Monitor Closely.

Fantasia looks a good thing in the big Nell Gwyn Stakes but the price will reflect that (4/6 on the earlies IMO). Snoqualmie Girl can go well at a big price.
