Cheltenham 2021!

[Doobs]

My ante-post wager on Adagio not looking very promising.

Why?  The front 3 are all very good, but have you got it each way?

I am probably about even now after 2 winners and a few places yesterday.  I am sure I'd be well up if I had done level stakes on every horse.

No. I backed it after it's last run - 68 days ago.

It really impressed me then but it's had a mild bout of colic since.

I am however slightly in front after a small ante-post bet @23 on Tellmesomethinggirl which I had completely forgotten about. 

Tony Keenan who put up Concertista in last year's race @28/1 put it up a few weeks ago - he absolutely owns that race!

Would take that every race despite you scaring me this morning, 16/1 e/w isn't so bad.

Wow, I backed Champagne Gold at 13 on betfair this morning, they just announced on ITV it was 5/1 favourite.  Betfair still has it at 10 (3rd favourite).  

These industry prices are getting really grim  

Edit Now 12 on betfair, still 5/1 favourite?

Pets Fancy is 38 on betfair.  Bet Victor have it at 10/1, Boyles 11/1.  Funny thing is neither would actually lay me a penny at those prices.

They're really taking the piss.

In the old days at least they had to back the horse to protect themselves from multiples, now they can just quote a reduced price.

Now 65/70 on betfair, so drifted to 20/1 and above with some bookies.  Unibet still 14/1.

It was very odd in the earlier race, because ITV were saying it was backed into favourite at 5/1, and on the off I couldn't lay off at a profit (having backed at 13)

Simon Rowleyfile is one of the tipsters who's column I read regularly and he put up two rags for today but I missed the prices and I'd already put Rachel and the champagne horse as my competition entry for the 1.55pm race so decided to leave it. grrr

In the end I thought I'd better have a nominal interest so placed a £2ew double the pair at Laddies shitty prices:

Belfast Banter 33/1 and Martinhal 25/1 in the lucky(hopefully) last.

That's that, for  another year...

Just did a quick tally, and taking the UFC/Chelts bet out I lost 25pts over the week.

Chelts Results

Day 1 - 18.5pts out (23.5 but 5pts back lay)    25.00pts return
Day 2 - 18.0pts out (17 bets +1pt nr)       0.00pts return
Day 3 - 26.0pts out (all n/r nrnb)      45.00pts return
Day 4 - 19.5pts out (all n/r nrnb)       6.75ts  return

82pts out 76.75 back

5.25pts loss + 20pts through week.

Had a 5pt per day budget starchasing and managed to abs brick the lot there, other than a couple n/r returns, so just wrote the lot off

[Doobs]

Think I ended slightly up.  I was definitely up on my main account, and definitely down slightly on a couple of others, but a couple I haven't checked.  I backed one winner in the wrong race, and hadn't backed another I thought I had, so could have been much better.  But given I was well down part way through day 2, it was definitely a good result
