[FONT=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]33/1 to win the Grand National with cashout seems a better play.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]You could back him at 12/1 with cashout for the X-C, and if he won that use your 13pts to back him for Aintree.

He would have to be 5/1 or less to win the Grand National, to not beat 80/1.

​​​​​​​And you can add those Bet365 single race odds unto multis, doubles etc.[/FONT]

Leicester New Boys v Villarreal on Wednesday

Taking my 8yo twin grandsons to their first ever football match.

Excitement is mounting, judging by the zoom call we had earlier this evening.
Click to expand...

My grandsons loved going to their first match last night.
Leicester were so impressive for 50+ minutes, scored 3 qoals either side of half-time, they cheered their hearts out.

Then some psycho player, took umbrage to being tackled by Fofana, Came back on the field after physio treatment, immediately sought him out and broke his leg.

The atmosphere changed for that last 30 minutes after the poor lad was stretchered off.

The crowd booed every Villareal player every time they touched the ball for the last 30 minutes.

Talk about light and shade.

They mostly remember the brilliant bits this morning, and they're neighbour came round this morning - he has a hospitality box at Leicester City and has invited them to the Wolves match on the opening day of the Prem.

Out of the darkness reappears the light.

We just need to sign a centre half (or two) sharpish.

Look how many point Liverpool dropped off by last season trying to make do in that key position.
 
I've seen the photo Sax. It looks a horrible break and you have to fear for him.

As a Cov fan, the worst one I remember was Dave Busst's horrible leg break in the penalty aread at Old Trafford. It was truly horrible to see, and the break was so bad that he was at risk of amputation at one stage. It was obviously a career ending tackle. I just hope Fofana recovers and it isn't as bad as it looks.

It must have been great taking your grandsons to their first game. One of those moments that both you and they will never forget. My first game was against Spurs, with a Cov team that included Tommy Hutchinson, Terry Yorath, Mick Ferguson, and Ian Wallace. I stood behind Jim Blyth's goal and I thought he could fly after he made a stunning top corner save. The game is still imprinted on my brain today. I'm sure your grandson's would have preferred it to have been at the other end of the M69, but you can't have everything! :highly_amused:

I have backed Gin on Lime for the Arkle and TWAR. I got 14s TWAR which I thought was a worthy 2pt sacrifice over taking 16s for the Mares Chase.

14’s TWAR is decent enough compared to some of the other dreadful prices currently on offer. I’ve backed GoL for both Arkle & Mares Chase and will top up on TWAR before she races again hopefully.

This is now 66/1, Sky limit me to a ‘kin fiver on these RABs so doubt it was my play that created the clip….
Click to expand...

They limit me to 20p for a 50/1 shot or bigger. :hopelessness:

Takes me 25 days backing the same bet to get to a fiver. :ambivalence:

66/1 is a complete nonsense price when he is 33/1 for the Grand National and 12/1 for the X-C.
 
Not a RAB but anyone that has a William hill account, you can get a nice odds boost if you fancy Gin on Lime for the Arkle and Galvin for the National - the double is 1733/1 which can be boosted to 2600/1.

No need to go big stakes at those odds lol

I remember you detailing the re-set times last year (3.30pm for Sky ?) but they must have differing restrictions on us as I’ve tried to go in and press several RABs since March the ones I’ve already played and a message appears that I’ve reached the max, it allows me to use the weekly free bets but that’s it.

66/1 I agree is poor but, assuming the route becomes known and he’ll not be seen over regulation fences until after weights are released, his price for both races will bomb…

Sky is every 24 hours bang on.
I have the time and bet details listed on Google calendar, back and move it each day on there.

Paddy Power is every 1 day and three or 4 minutes.

William Hill is 1 day, 3 hours 48 mins.

Sky bet limits are 24 hours for me too, but RAB limits are re-set weekly I think. Usually I can go back a weelklater and get the same maximum stake on a RAB again. That said I haven't needed to or tried doing so since last season so it may have changed?

My measly RAB restrictions have always reset daily.

Bigger sums maybe weekly if that's what your account shows, though.
 
When they start pricing them up again I will request Appreciate it arkle and cc double :)
