I’m guessing they have made a profit ? Not often in horse racing owners make money
 
That's probably because you aren't there bidding. You are the only one who didn't see his run last time

Kidding of course :love_heart:

Looks like he had surgery in January which has put me off him. Going to Warren even more so. Looked like he had bags of talent on debut. Can forgive him the Boxing Day run as it obviously wasn't his running when he's going backwards off a slow pace and Kennedy seemed to like him. See how he does in the UK.

It is nothing short of baffling that he's off to Greatrex

I did agree and take note when Jack was talking about him, alas we'll never know.
 
I was hoping the auction might help me pick between Sa Fureur and Firm Footings for the Grand Annual and they've both got the same amount ... I'd quite like that Sa Furuer has gone to Gigginstown.

Surely firm footings wants a trip doesn't he? Who bought him in the end?
 
Anyone know what races the scratchings are for tomorrow ?

RP says "open company Grade 1 races next month. As well as the Stayers', notable contenders for the Champion Hurdle, Mares' Hurdle, Gold Cup, Champion Chase and Ryanair Chase could be scratched."

Grand National entries close tomorrow too
 
Hoping to get some advice on potentially opening up second accounts with bookies where I've been restricted as I have seen people here including Kevloaf mention being on 2nd/3rd/4th accounts. Getting someone to open for me and deposit not a problem but obviously don't want to get caught out and have winnings withheld.

Have done some research and plan would be to re-set router for new IP, clear cookies and use laptop (have checked and don't have iesnare installed). For any bookies where I wanted to occasionally use my own account for an offer I would use browser on mobile with wifi turned off (too much messing about re-setting the router constantly if wanting to get on quickly).

May also consider the VPN route (any recommendations welcomed). Have seen people mention using multiple phones to avoid the MAC issue but believe this has been debunked unless you downloaded their software.

Obviously PM me if there's something you'd rather not post here.

In the spirit of reciprocity here is my experience of things that get you restricted (in addition to the obvious of winning too much or beating SP a lot):

Only placing bets using offers, winning a lot in a short space of time, making large withdrawals.

When you get placed in the unprofitable tier (bets being referred for approval, not seeing offers that others are getting) if you want to keep the account it may be best to ease off for a while with that site and/or place some small stakes accas/bet builders and/or use that account for bets not beating SP where you think you have some insight (of course none of this is guaranteed to prolong the life of the account).

Thanks for any guidance anyone can offer.
 
Can confirm that due to health and safety, there will be no further access to centre of course for rest of season

Using a VPN is a must and you can get away with using the same device as your personal accounts. However, if you wanted to be extra careful, using VPN and purchasing a cheap second hand mobile for only your friends accounts would be ideal.

I’d be careful re VPN

I only use my own accounts, but used VPN when abroad & I got contacted by one bookie re using software do they can obviously pick it up

I read somewhere that this is a red flag on accounts ..,not sure how true but I’d be careful

one thing I would add is don’t maximise ur profits ….dont take best prices all time, dont cashout every bad bet & use non-cashout bookies too …,if u use this forum & ur skills in picking horses for ur book, then should still return reasonable profit each year

Did you actually get a call or email from the bookie or do you mean that when logging on, you just had to verify that you weren't a robot by ticking a box as this is normal with some bookies?

I've used VPN on lots of winning accounts and have had no issues until the bookie has deemed the account is a winning one. It really helps if you split your stakes across multiple accounts. If your average stake is 10, splitting this across 5 accounts means you shouldn't get flagged for a long time unless you are a seriously successful punter!

I got an email asking me about it ….so assume they can see ur using masking software

Hi lads, not sure if this is allowed on here but I have 9 Gold cup day club tickets for sale, £110 per ticket which is below the cost price of them, all the lads now have memberships so no need for the tickets, can sell individually if needed, happy to post out or collection from my address in WR10. Cheers

delete if not allowed :sneakiness:

Just messaged you directly
 
Does anybody have any cash out available for antepost bets available with PP?

I know the norm is to disable cash out once they go NRNB, but one has returned which I thought was strange...
