I used to watch upping the ante to see if gavin Lynch had any interesting angles

It's basically a comedy racing review show now

I like him and also find him funny.
But he's mental and his opinions are often so strong with rarely any balance, it just makes him look mental when he completely reverses his thoughts.
His apparent lack of thought around price/value is also bizarre. It amazes me he's made a living.
I know some punters can be boom and bust, much like some of the best gambling personalities ever.
But the ones who profit over the real long term tend to have a more balanced and stable mindset for sure.

Just watching Dineen again on UTA.
He's so lucky he lives in modern times. And has other people and a civilised society to look after him.

I don;t think I've ever seen a man who can be so sure and bullish about something, only to have the opposite view the next day.
He should learn to have a balanced view from time to time.
I did like his bullish opinions but it's now getting daft, and even though it's entertainment the guy professes to be a pro gambler.
He's a fucking lunatic.

He'd fit in well on here.

He’s very funny it’s good entertainment compared to previous which was also shite for tipping but yea you couldn’t be following his strategy. I don’t know how he gets ahead some of the decisions he makes. The Hewick lay was awful.

I don’t understand any strategy that involves laying at 12/1. Crazy risk for very little reward. He seems much better at picking winners in the 2.45 at Musselburgh than he does Grade Ones or big handicaps.

On the wider point, I think he’s great. Doesn’t take himself too seriously and is often keen to point out he’s no tipper. If you know he’s got a polarised opinion on things, you know to dilute any view he offers.

I wonder what the general feelings are about who is a better ante post punter out of JD and GL?

We all know FJ is better than either, even when picking a book builder to go head to head :indecisiveness:

GL for me as I'm certain he's a lurker here so would be picking up on all the knowledge :barbershop_quartet_member:

Anyone else noticed 365 chopping and changing prices every few hours?

Sometimes on horses that they changed previously as well.

A few do this, I have always thought it's to attract sheep who see a price cut and follow suit.
I tracked a horse (can't remember who) on Unibet a while back, started at 14/1 first thing, ended up 14/1 late evening but chopped between 12/1 and 14/1 32 times...

Took me ages to write out the 4 massive post on the Ratings Diary the past two days.

A nervous time wondering if any of what Id written would be saved or not, on each of the 4 posts.

There was plenty of times on each post when ERROR messages flashed up, or I had to press Restore or Discard to carry on with the post, pleased I didnt press the wrong one.

It felt like a slow laborious version of "Mission Impossible" trying to get to the end of each post without it disappearing completely. :beaten:

The relief I felt when each one of those posts had completed a final SAVE and showed as uploaded onto the Diary, was enormous. :bee:

Its overall a slow week this week, for racing, so if were going to have a slow website, probably best it was this week - not early March

….Lawlors under threat because of frost, 07.30am inspection at Naas.
 
Naas looks like the Willie mullins redemption day

3 of his Notable flops all running

3 particularly un appealing looking odds on shots in Brandy love, Mister Policeman and Tullyhill

Still early enough in the season for them to turn it around but they'd all need to be showing a stone or more of improvement to re enter the Cheltenham picture
