Cheltenham Day 2

[them0uf]

Well this looks a damned sight trickier than Day 1. well done Elite for showing up on the first day. A day of wrong choices for me - apart from the last where I hadn't even considered the winner - where I had the winner in my first two choices and went the wrong way. Mug!

And for tomorrow (with a huge health warning)

1:30 Black Op ew
2:10 Black Corton ew
2:50 William Henry ew
3:30 Altior ew
4:10 Tiger Roll ew
4:50 Act of Valour ew
5:30 Didtheyleaveyououtto ew]

I just hope Altior doesn't get bogged down. He is the most exciting 2 miler since the glorious Sprinter (who surely is only bettered by Arkle)

[Elite_Pie]

Tomorrow is the day I'll be there (weather looking good) so I've done many hours of form study, but my predictions haven't been profitable on day 2 for a while. I'm think I'm due a change in fortunes, so here are my thoughts:

1:30 Vision Des Flos (e/w)
2:10 Elegant Escape (e/w)
2:50 Mount Mews
3:30 Altior
4:10 The Last Samuri
4:50 Eragon De Chanay (e/w)
5:30 Blackbow

Eragon De Chanay would be a big winner for me, even a place would come close to covering me for the day. I have backed him at 40/1 and 33/1 since he won impressively at the weekend, and he's now as low as 10/1 with many bookies. I was going to watch the feature race for pleasure rather than financial interest, but after being 8/13 for most of the week, Altior has drifted to a tempting 11/10. If I see any bookies offering 5/4 tomorrow I'll probably lump on.

Would you not rather see ALTIOR shortening than drifting E_P? My only success y'day (despite it being a bad day for the bookies if there is such a thing) was an e/w bet on the springer in the big race, MELON, that gave BUVEUR D'AIR such a fright. Melon's odds halved in the minutes before the off.

So I use paddy power online and wanting to know if this offer on the first race is any good? If Samcro wins they’re giving money back as a free bet. Seems like a no brainier but is it too good to be true ?

So the bloke who accuses me of starting arguments and stalking him follows me on another Cheltenham prediction thread.
Does he make any Cheltenham predictions? No, he comes solely to have a dig at me, proving what a hypocrite he is.

Yes, I lost yesterday. I had more bets than the above, but only collected on Altior who I had a hefty bet on at 5/4, but it didn't cover my losses on the day. I'd guess my betting was about £40 down, and I spent a similar amount on beer and food. Did it spoil the day? Not in the slightest, I had one of the best days of my life as I always do on the middle Wednesday in March. I took a coachload of 50 people down, I only see most of them once a year but it was great to meet up again. I loved every minute from boarding the bus at 9am to getting off 12 hours later, a real laugh all day long and an atmosphere unrivalled anywhere. If the image of a thin (??) balding (??) penniless (??) guy makes you sleep happily at night, then stick with it by all means. I'll see if I can get a pic to show you the reality.

Do not get so tetchy old boy...this is a forum and I hardly call it "having a dig" by commenting on your betting tips that you have so proudly posted......after "hours of research" huh?......lob a dart at the riders list....you will do better.

No tips from me maestro....I would not have a clue and would hate to embarrass myself......though I must admit to considering it.....mmmmm

Why am I being a hypocrite to comment on your tips, when you regularly comment on my betting acumen?....I call it tit~for~tat......but I must admit, I thought you would have given me a run for my dinero.

I confidently predict that you will do better today.

ps Glad you had a good day out.....see, I can be cordial

pps 3 new goats born this week, one on Saturday, one on Sunday and one yesterday...I know you like to keep abreast of my goat~herding exploits.....video to be uploaded once I find the camera connecting lead

It's because your comments are the comments of a simpleton - you just don't know what you're talking about. After day one your comment was "You picked only one winner.......you are a fraud.....a joke.....a laughing stock". Anyone who had followed my advice on offers would have ended up with four free bets (break even), two losing bets, and a 10/1 winning bet. How does advising a healthy profit earn the label "laughing stock"?


Why am I being a hypocrite to comment on your tips?

Already explained. You are so desperate to try and score points against me that you did exactly the thing you accused me of. HYPOCRITE.
It shows how sad you are when you actually searched for the exact finishing position of each horse!

I will tip plenty of losers, but it's all about the long term, and I have a lifetime of credit on here in that regard. I refer you to the Notts County 150th raceday at Southwell on May 2nd 2012. I tipped 6 winners and a non-runner at odds of 5/1, 5/2, 11/10, 7/1, 11/4, and 8/15. A tenner on that little accumulator would have returned £21,242. Who does that make the laughing stock?

1:30 Kalashnikov......result 1st Summerville Boy 9/1....Minus £10
2:10 Saint Calvados...result Footpad 5~6....Minus £20
2:50 Cogry (e/w)....result Coo Star Sivola 5~1....Minus £30 if £5 ew.
3:30 Elgin (a horse I part own e/w)...result Buvier Dair 4~6....Minus £40.
4:10 La Bague Au Roi (betting without Apple's Jade) ....result Benie Des Dieux ...Minus £50
4:50 Sizing Tennessee (one for seriouspie)...3rd at 8~1.....woopie...the closest that you have gotten so far...Minus £60
5:30 Mister Whitaker (e/w)...1st at 13~2.....your only winner?.....so if £5 ew you picked up £32.50 and £8? ie £40 total......then you still lost £20 on the day...your get out of jail card, that you like to play is...."but I blagged a load of free bets PLUS I got my only winner at vastly better odds than those posted in the National Press"....mmmmm

Same on day 2.....you picked only 1 winner, at evens, that you said you were NOT going to back unless it drifted in price.....the National Press says evens....you tell us you waded in at 5~4.....mmmmm

My theory is that no matter what I say, you will try to show everyone that you know what you are doing.....when in reality you have backed a red~hot favourite, despite telling us that the odds were too short, and a 13~2 shot....OUT OF 14 RACES?

PS Well done on the Southwell tips from May 2nd 2012.....6 years ago!!!.....I nearly choked on my muffin

In the Best Mate enclosure Altior opened at a general 11/10, I rushed in when a couple of bookies went 5/4. The only proof I could offer would be if I had photographed my betting slip, which I had to hand over to the bookie to collect. Incredibly, I never thought to do that, so you believe me or you don't. I don't much care either way.

Well if that's your family they do you credit sir. Mind you, I thought it was customary for blokes to look smart at race meets as well.

This is Cheltenham, not Royal Ascot. The rule at the Festival is always 'dress for the weather'.

Although I have to admit they were my best clothes.
