Laddies have settled three places on the Great St Wilfrid.

Laddies have settled three places on the Great St Wilfrid.

Not a huge surprise.

But what complete ***** nonetheless.

Anyone must have a case based on their RP advert today with IBAS on this.  They also held their 1/4 1,2,3,4,5 ew terms on their website following numerous price changes because of NR's all day long and ducked every runner by going bottom price all day as well after realising the hole they had dug for themselves.

Sigh.

Brighton had best of it up until Fulham equalized. Then Matt Smith hit post at 1-1 and sounded as though they were dominating and had all the momentum but couldn't score. Brighton get 92nd min penalty to win it that was potentially outside the box.
Glad I didn't back/recommend just laying Brighton as I nearly did. Would be fuming!

Boro -1 hosed anyway, so profit. Shame it was veto'd

It wasn't a veto, we can't use Paddy Power which is where the price was, you said

haven't been able to use PP for all bar a few early weeks of tft

May have been misinformed here, sounds like they're settling manually after initially only settling three places.

Madness, really. How overbroke was their place book? A demonstration of the points made in that podcast of how competitive racing is and how it's used as a loss-leader.

Surprised and interested to see all the comments regarding my betting haha.

I should clarify, my bet sizes for F1 and Football are pretty much the same, £10 usually, maybe the odd £25 or £50 bet, depending on how confident I'm feeling, and the price. However, I place greater volume of bets on Football, purely because there are more markets to choose from. The F1 markets are not very widespread.

Does that make sense?

They were bottom price every horse an hour before the event.  130% win book. Place book would have been bad but no as bad as it could have been.  They minimized the damage as best as they could once they made the decision to honour the offer.  If their advert had been worded correctly there is no way they would have paid 5 places.  Pretty sure they had no option.  They will be able to use 'unfavourable results' again as their excuse in the next qtr accounts!

Yes, online 4th settled as a loser....rang them and they said I would get paid out "manually"....so we will see.

not really

do you understand spread betting?

your football bets you hypothesise on here in the spread markets have downsides of thousands of pounds

Of course, but that's over 38 gameweeks. We said the maximum realistic loss was £2000 and something, let's say £3000 for the sake of argument, that's over 380 games - which would only be a £7.89 loss per game.

Not sure it's wise to look at spread betting like that Peter.  The 20 a point size would cost you 400 to exit even if nothing moved.  It's a big position.  If there was a freak 7 nil game which gave 50 points or whatever it was then it would cost you 1400 to exit. 

I'm not saying it's a bad bet, just that its massive compared to your fixed odds stuff.

Would you bet say £1500 on the winner of the F1 championship next season after all its over 20 odd races so may only boil down to £75 a race? In my eyes its the same theory.
