I laid it a 6.2
Looks to be a big scalping position for someone
Don't fancy joining the back of that queue. :)
Problem is there's no money getting matched on BD on it

BF support said that once the race goes in-play, "give us a call and we can trade out of it for you" ;) :) :D :lol:

Surely you could trade it out yourself?

Substandard gold cup but still a great spectacle - never disappoints.

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.

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!

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

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.
