Betting Discussion (Mark II)

I'm sure the under 8 would of came in, but the bet was void because the game finished after something like 7 innings. So I only got £7.50.back

I got off to a good start with Cable Bay (it drifted a bit, too, which is why I only bet with B.O.G bookies).

I've also taken Dancing Maite and Boy The Bell in the 5:45.

Better than nowt!

Mr Dandy Man.

What made you choose Cable Bay?

Also, do you bet level stakes i.e £1 win regardless of price?

Example, if you have 3 horses priced at 3/1, 5/1 and 11/1 @ 1/5 a place, how would you stake? Because it could be easy to make a £3 loss than it could to win anything, unless I'm working it out wrong.

I only ever bet on the win and it's at level stakes. I often lose races in which I have 4 or 5 selections, so the swings can be brutal.

Might try that for the rest of the day, £60 up already so I'll just do £2 stakes on win only's.

Gabrial's Gift, Superior Edge, Emiratesdotcom, Ghostwing in the 3:00.

Let's see how this pans out.

Emiratesdotcom 9/1, Gabrials Gift 11/2, Falasteen 14/1 are my picks.

I give myself a 200 point bank to do this. I can't tell you how horrible the swings can be.

Haha I can imagine, especially when you get 3/4 favourites winning in a row, that could be a ball ache.

1pt = £1?

1pt = £50, but I'm having a bit of a problem getting my bets on anywhere at the moment. Should be sorted with new accounts this week.

Fair enough, is there any way to rid your details completely from an account?

I.e I closed my SkyBet account ages ago, and they won't let me open a new one because they recognise my address or something. I have a new card since then, so it can't be the card?

No, I think they are required to keep your details for something like 5 years.

Registering a new card with the same address doesn't work either. I opened new accounts with my mum's card when I stayed at home and they were shut down within minutes.

They will also store cookies on your computer and I've heard they monitor IP addresses, but I don't know if this is true.

Ah bollo*ks. Oh well, I'll just keep cash betting for the mean time. I only ever used Stan James, Billy hills and Skybet and they won't let me open accounts.

Wow all sounds very big brother...

Well, that was easy.

Of course I do have my Ladbrokes account open still, I use that when I'm at work but I never leave funds in it.

Indeed, only £2 profit for me as I got him at 5's a little earlier. But profit is profit.

Bold Sniper in the next for me. Unmoothaj has drifted to a nice price so I'll go on that aswell.
