Tips for Tikay

[StuartHopkin]

He has cashed out most of it.

Seems there should have been some mileage in negotiating, and if you must cash out some, surely you'd leave more rolling forward.  I can see how it would be very tempting to take 100k or half off the table, but nearly all of it makes me a big grumpy.  Doesn't discourage these terrible cash out offers.

Still got a 70k sweat on the race, so not all bad

Such a unique position, hard to say anything bad about him doing it. Though you wouldn't think so looking at the Twitter thread 

It seems mostly positive? 

I don't know what his real choices were given he had gone past their 250k limit.  Maybe it wasn't so straightforward?

It is hard to be too critical though, until I sit there looking at losing 250k then I can't say I wouldn't take it.  I still hope I would have tried to find a more favourable way out or just cashing out a small part.

The limit is £1m isn't it?

Arbboy noted it was 250k yesterday, and I saw that Betfair had waived the 250k limit elsewhere.

These races are Class 1 & 2 aren't they?

Below that this is written, which i assume means they have a lower limit for ante post

Future Racing bets are subject to a maximum payment of £250,000.

[arbboy]

assume they are day of race limits not ante post like doobs says.

[StuartHopkin]

I see!

So they have waived it for the publicity?

Would have made a great story if he had let it ride and still only got the cash out amount offered.

I am on today, thanks Arb!

Gives everyone a big priced get out of jail to pay for cheltenham.   Very tough to predict these 128 runner one day events but there is a definite edge being able to bet after the draw has been made.

On all of those, too.

Cheers Arb!

Dolan out first round.  Other two both won 6-0 in first round.

Both into the last 32.   They are drawn to play each other in the last 8 if they both get that far.  Lot of big names gone out already.   Interesting sweat now.
