Has to be some doubt for the Dublin racing festival
I’m flying over from Essex, had this trip planned since last year after having to give up my tickets... I hope it isn’t called off and also the ground doesn’t effect entries

Hope it is not thistlecracker
Temple bar for the weekend if it is
You will get to see a few nags there ��
Just updated my portfolio for the festival, what with the novice entries being due out tomorrow.
Sitting @ a loss of 67.85pts (this includes cash outs, of both positive and negative effects) before the festival starts, about 8.6% of my total outlay, which I can take on the chin.
I was, and still am hoping to get to the festival with a pre-loss (collateral damage of ante post betting) of less than 12-15%, so all being well I can remain under this, with not so long to go now.
My biggest single losses so far are Draconien & Never Adapt, both backed in the 'any race' market with WH and it serves me right for not using 365 in their race specific markets.
As a total though the one horse that has been loss, through multiples etc... has been Getabird, managed to cash majority of JLT bets out but the Arkle ones were a hit, other than that it just has been bits and pieces that ultimately add up to one larger amount.

Bold are my favourite bets at this point
I know this topic has been raised before, but if you’re betting 20pts in a race, surely your points system is wrong? That is a huge variance in £ stake. I get there are professional punters on this board, but surely you just divide your standard point by 4 to bring some perspective? Unless you’ve taken a gigantic position on PDO. Fair play, if so, but somewhat high risk, no? From a bookie’s perspectives, won’t that risk your account if he wins?
