    To define that as a "mug" bet is absolutely mental though charlie...

    She was without a doubt the most likely winner on that day!

    Falling doesn't make a bet a bad bet at all

      I once bought a winning placepot ticket off someone for 3 times the actual payout. Drink in, brains out!
      I once argued with the tote for about 20 minutes because I was sure I’d won the placepot for the second day on the bounce but I’d picked Vyta Du Roc not More of That.

        Having had a strong word for Silent Oscar for the Champion Hurdle and info was previously spot on then to find out a friend of a friend of a friend knew the trainer and his words were "if he wins the champion hurdle ill eat my hat". Banged his head in his box and was pulled out! Cor als shares went up that week.

            Happy to scrub out my Samcro Champion hurdle bet off this thread, to be fair I could probably replace with infinite other selections!!!
