2018 Bookie Specials

As mentioned previously I'm looking at utilising all these Supreme offers in an attempt to guarantee level stakes (or even a small profit) after a pretty poor antepost. I'm definitely going to wait to the day for the first 2 in the market, but anyone want to hazard a guess on the early morning prices of the next lot in the betting?

Summerville Boy
Mengli Khan
Paloma Blue
Claimantakinforgan
Sharjah

Trying to decide whether it's worth using some of the offers to back some on the list above now (a couple I already have covered), Summerville Boy in particular.

Not sure where to ask but does anyone have an 888 sport account? If so what are they like?

Opened one for a free bet a couple of years ago, the website UX was so bad I never used it ever again
 
Dont know if betvictor will be doing the offer this year but last year was (if i remember rightly) open an account bet £10 and get a free £2 bet on every race at the fest.Got a great pair of bolle polarised sunglasses now.

I had my 888 account for a total of 10 days ryan.
Never had a bet bigger than £50 and was only around £55 up, within a couple of hours I got emails saying my account had BOG removed, all free bets had been rescinded and finally my account had been restricted.
Just a joke bookmaker...
 
Cheers Ista
 
Betfair are 9/1 for Buveur D'air, Apple's Jade and Un De Sceaux to win (best price is 7.48/1) - this isn't NRNB though.

The more the Ryanair 'cuts up' the more interested I am in having UDS backed in multiples. I think he's great value but does set the standard.

What on earth are they playing at putting Cause of Causes in a special.

Paddy have had him in a few. Trying to get him beat
 
Sky Festival Fever: 12/1 Apple's Jade, Samcro and Cause Of Causes all to win from 9/1..
 
I’m either walking away with 100s of points profit or a broken man

Seems they are taking on my bankers
 
Max bet £30 ffs...

I need all 3 enough to warrant not backing again, but hope you all win as that means I will also be in a good position ;)

Seems that who ever suggested this doesn’t like working for SkyBet - not bankers but certs! (disclaimer: this combo makes up most of my book and are added with all my other fancies)

This special highlights to me that ANTE POST BETTING IS NOT DEAD.

3/1 AJ
16/1 Samcro
9/1 CoC

were all available and didn't collapse for a while. (Not on that specific treble myself I don't think)

I can't back this at 12s when I'm on CoC at 9s ... but I'll be cheering it on haha
