Surely you could trade it out yourself?
Exactly, that's why the laughing.
All good, placed a slightly oversized back at sp to counter, and traded out for a bit extra as it's a front runner.

Substandard gold cup but still a great spectacle - never disappoints.
Yes Timeform rated him 167p after his Denman chase win , compare with the list below .. but he has won a Hennessy , Welsh National and now a Gold Cup .. well deserved win .. Tough horse and does it the hard way

Incidently From what I've read about Arkle and Flyingbolt , I would agree with Ted Walsh and say Flyingbolt was the equal if not better of Arkle

212 Arkle
210 Flyingbolt
192p Sprinter Sacre
191 Kauto Star, Mill House
187 Desert Orchid
186 Dunkirk
184 Burrough Hill Lad, Moscow Flyer, Long Run
183 Denman, Don Cossack, Master Oats
182 Azertyuiop, Best Mate, Captain Christy, Douvan, Carvill's Hill, Kicking King,
See More Business, Well Chief

Someone give SHR a call
Was out for a £500 loss, and another 2nd in the race. But hey ho. Still had a very good week.

Betfair CS have a habit of treating customers as idiots. Whenever I've emailed about RFs, they just see 'reduction factor', assume I don't know what they are and just ignore the question and paste an explanation of RFs!

Good, just hoped you wouldn't lose too much

That's more like it - the fox hunter is far more tradable. :D

You've not had much look with your confident posted selections either ( and relatively short prices, apart from First Flow ), still pleased you had a good week

Still struggle to understand how you can trade and "gamble to the stakes you do and keep them separate .. let alone be as profitable as you claim to be

But at least you seem to be enjoying yourself more than last year

first losing day in over two weeks, tread very tentatively with Cheltenham this week, my first real attempt to tackle ‘em confidently, pretty pleased on the whole, and yes.. I am back trading

Nobody has worked on retraining his brain more than Mr SHR.

Really enjoyed Cheltenham this year using B.A's In-play Trader programme. Able to use the delay in transmission to my advantage.

Focussed on the TV races only, gained +27% on the initial bank, better that the building society!

Best IP trade for me was Yanworth yesterday. L9.80 B19.50 in a nano second.

Well done to everyone else on their results.

I had an okay festival, nothing worth celebrating.

What I'm really happy about is that the cold months (trading and weather wise) are over and we can look forward to Aintree, the start of the flat all the big midweek meetings that go with it. :D

Don't get excited - it's not really 27% unless you sustain that rate of growth.

Yep 8% a day compounds up to a cool 280 million % APR at the building society ... ish
Better go tell Martin Lewis
