Cheltenham Festival Roll-Ups

….presume you mean to get relegated. I’d doubt they would because this was always a possible scenario. I never checked their price at the beginning of the season but I doubt it was ever massive.
I meant punters who have backed them at beginning of season to win the league

Just seen that Paddy Power refunded all bets on teams that finished 2nd to Man City in Prem over 8 seasons!!!

How is that possible ?
The vast majority of accounts will have been canned in that time.
More gimmick marketing...

Any baseball heads in the house?

Whilst the Dodgers will inevitably repeat, and I dearly want the Brewers to finally do it in post season, I feel it's the season for a left field selection.

Whist part of me thinks the White Sox are a each way to nothing bet cos the American League is so weak, I can not get away from the Padres. They're absolutely cooking rn, best record in the second half of the season, and crucially have the pitching to keep LA in check if they get past MIL. Annoyingly they've gone from 22s to 10s after winning their wild card game, but given the winner almost certainly comes from the National League, LA are 2, MIL 5s and Padres 10s, I really do think they're a play.

Failing that just double any selection you have with the Dodgers to give yourself a 2/1 boost lol
 
Not done many roll ups, thankfully, leading up to the season starting out, however I do like Sapphos Word @ Worcester tomorrow.

I remember connections were extremely keen on her on her bumper debut, but she was ridiculously keen and her very inexperienced rider couldn't cope with that and she lost by only 3/4 length. She was similar on her next start over a furlong further and the two that fought out the finish took each other on from far enough out if memory serves me right, and she got beat inside the final 100 yards or so!

I'm hoping hurdles and a summer on her back may have calmed her down a bit, and it does look a bit of a match between herself and the Skelton mare, IMO, so I am giving her one last chance to prove her ability now facing obstacles.

Only a 6/4 shot, but that will do me IF she does the business.

Another 2nd for her. Maybe she just doesn't want to win, despite actually winning her p2p :ROFLMAO:

She got done in the final 110 yards....again!

Got to play Wilful in some capacity today as a role up in the 4:12 Carlisle. Golden Ace invariably needs her first run of the season and the yard haven't had a winner for 236 days (Over 50 runners). Burdett Road has been regressive on the flat. Mirabad may be better chasing as settles better over larger obstacles. Rubaud is for Nicholls whose runners are needing their seasonal returns. A top 3 finish is 8/13 (top 2 is 11/10) with Bet365 though also got the money back option at 11/8 so don't lose out if come 2nd or 3rd.

Dunno if you can actually roll it up, or have to do it manually, but the 9/2, 5/1 about Pierre Sage to be the next manager to be sacked is not to be sniffed at. I can't give too many details and betray my source, but the hierarchy lost confidence after game 2, and have already lined up his replacement. Obvs a risk someone else collapses quicker, but the finger is on the trigger
Race against time to get sacked before Carrick, I'm sweating lol
