Day 5 Results No joy to finish the 1st week.

This column goes missing for a couple of days while I am away for the weekend. Unfortunately the racing is very competitive today and tomorrow and I really haven't the necessary time for study, I'm on my third beer of the day and drinking and alcohol is not the best combination for gambling, 🤣so will update on Monday. Have a great weekend all, I am so far.:haha:

@RayLOh dear Oh dear Oh dear, you're going to find it hard to come back from that one.:haha: I for one will keep that little gem tucked in the memory bank for possible future use.🤣

@RayL The new Jennifer Tilly and Phil Laak on our site, awesome. 👍 Sign them up as ambassadors quick.🤣 Appearing live soon in Manchester. @MetalWolf Sounds like a good plan, and welcome to @Charl_xoxox, hope you have as much fun as we do (sometimes) let us know your thoughts on the learning process and the big bad teacher.:haha:

Sad to hear when someone goes missing, especially a regular, hope everything works out fine. Going to miss the upcoming chat about City and 'pool this weekend. Come back soon.❤️

Oh, SP is starting price .... Didn't know of that concept. I've always only bet on set odds, so had to goodle it. No wonder there wasn't any odds on the bet slip lol, my bad :happyshy: Hi @Purps It's always a bit tricky when you have to make the choice between taking a price or leaving it to market forces, sometimes you're right and sometimes wrong, I have no inside info on wether a horse will be backed in or not, 😠 so mainly I just leave it to the fates. 😃 Many years ago I picked a horse out from the morning papers forecast at 25/1 in a good class competitve handicap, but when I went in the bookies (pre internet days) it was showing at 100/1. No way I'm backing that, no chance at all!!!!!!!! Of course it won at 66/1. Gambling sucks sometimes.🤣

Lovely idea @MetalWolf. Hope you've got good soundproofing so the neighbours don't hear you "discussing" that last all in.🤣 Seriously though a great idea which prompts a couple of questions. Roughly how much coaching will you give say per week, and then when your lady is playing the qualifiers will you leave her on her own or will you be looking over her shoulder? Best of luck and see you both in Manchester (hopefully). 👍

Day 5 Selections. Forecast starting prices on now, two of them were drifting slightly so again no prices taken. :Thumbsup:

Day 4 Results. Just the one winner at 4/1.

Thanks @Purps these do look more presentable but no prices on them because I usually leave them to market forces and take the s.p. I was wrong with that winner yesterday as it was backed in from 8/1 to 7/2 fav. but as you can see in some of the previous results some of my picks have started at bigger odds than forecast. I'm trying to think how to show forecast prices as well as my selections, still working on the best way to present them without a lot of work.:wonder:

Day 4. A new way of presenting my selections occured to me last night, saving time and effort in making everything look neat and presentable, so here goes. 👍

Day 3 17.15No Captain Lars 15/8 17.30Ne Cry Wolf 11/2 18.00Ne Naples Bay 9/1 15.35No Belated Breath 8/1

Sorry @Patric-Unibet I wasn't aware there were changes, it just seemed an awfully long time from winning to getting anywhere, I just can't wait ( but I'll have to ). Thanks for the quick reply.😃

Hi @Patric-Unibet I last had an e-mail about Dublin on 4th Sept and nothing since, still waiting for reg and hotel details and such. Any updates please.

We're all waiting.

Just a small correction to the first post, I'm betting them in a patent not a trixie, it's been a long time since I put multiples on, apologies. :waterfall:

@pittpitt It seems a few of us are getting frustrated with the poker at times, I certainly am, and trying different things to spread the misery.:sad: I'm currently having a go on the horses and bits of casino, my bankroll is funded for the horses till the end of this month and see where, if anywhere, it gets me. I'm trying to pick only a few solid selections per day, it might be slow going but I'm thinking long term. Hope your swing turns round and goes in the right direction, and you come back fighting. 👍

Day 1 Three for the money. Outsider 14.30C. Smart Illusion. 6/1 20.45K. Topology. 11/1 15.35C. Dr Doro. 13/8 20.15K. Black Lotus. 8/1

Many years ago there was a comedy programme which I used to love, Mr Ed about a talking horse called...................Mr Ed. I can still sing the theme tune to this day and whenever I think about it it still makes me smile. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I used to back horses as my main form of gambling, but have not done so - except for the Grand National of course - for a long long time. Seeing the long term success of our resident tennis expert @AndreiBN,* various threads by @Purps @pittpitt and the recent comp by @CharismaMan has re-ignited my passion for the sport of kings, so my aim is to post a few selections per day that I intend to back, at least for the whole of this month, and see where it gets me. I will back three selections in a trixie, 3 singles, 3 doubles and a treble, and one reasonable priced outsider that i think ( hope ) will do well. * Secondary motive. With the recent talk of ranks and badges etc I've noticed a really cool badge. Now who doesn't want one of those?

What on earth is going on in that camp? 🤣
