….i thought RB said that she’s hoping to start a family.
 
Dread to think how much hit they’ll take on Minella Premier after a season on the bench.
Whoops that’s one of mine! Never like to desert an injured horse even though they rarely pay you back. I remember the story line that they were reserving the name Minella Premier for a special horse. Must have drifted a long way down the pecking order to be up for sale now!
 
Is anyone having problems making withdrawals from bet365? Bank says -
Please be informed, A Bank policy decision has been taken to reduce acceptance of debit card credits at this time. To minimise customer impact, the Bank will continue to accept debit card credits from a reduced list of only the largest UK gambling merchants.

It sure if 365 is offshore as most are, but all seems pathetic.

I stuck a complaint in

I am not sure he has been injured Killney. When Hendo was interviewed at Christmas he was talking about Minella Premier not being ready as if he still had a lot to learn. He may have been injured but i have missed that.
 
Hi everyone, as part of my final year at university, I am conducting a dissertation on creating my own AI model to try and predict outcomes in horse racing to essentially try and beat the bookies and get good value bets and win over the long term.

With that, I have created a google survey where if possible can some FJs fill it out (wont take more than a few minutes) on what they use when studying the form book when trying to choose what horse to bet in a race to give me a good idea what metrics will be of most use when creating the model.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSciHQftxtCxA_J7BgTR3TDRT0P2FGZxneTrjCOFMx3j3TYZ0Q/viewform is the link, I would be upmost grateful to anyone who fills it out. Cheers
A little update on this, I've just got my results back for it and achieved a first class which I'm buzzing with.

If anyone wants to give it a read, feel free to send me a message and I'll send you a link with a download to the PDF:)

Didn't try it on ascot, there's some stuff I want to change on it as I saw it performed a few %'s worse in strike rate on flat racing compared to jumps racing which surprised me

Nice one Zach :D. Not been on for a few months, recuperating from the Spring festivals whilst mulling over my Cheltenham betting policy for 2026 :LOL: I have a lot of threads to catch up on. I'm going to dip my toe in again this weekend so I would love a copy to experiment with
