2024 Cheltenham - the odds on offer.

Worst bet I could Imagine in view of the injury involved.
 
….Capodanno 50-1 GC with PP.
 
….GDC 7-1 from 9-1 with PP to win back-to-back GCs.

Eggs, why are you even putting this up?

I mean, I normally write once every few weeks, detailed posts. Very often with evidence behind me. Everyone here who comes across my posts knows I back a long way out - months in advance, over a year in advance in a lot of cases.

I’ve also been questioned by others as to the legitimacy of my bets. I let those messages go. Because I’m just waiting to show the first person who questions my ‘legitimacy’ my 12 months of profit by private message. With photos.

But………the 7/1 you’re advertising here is 9/4 and 15/8 each year. Its a shocking price.

If we’re posting on here guys, 15 months in advance, surely we must be going for fantastic value. 7/1 on that one Eggsy, and with the greatest respect to you, does not need advertising as a double taking into 2024.
 
You will probably all know this. But a few may not.....

Skybet wont quote for individual 2024 races yet.
Only linked to 2023/2024 double results.

Betfair/PP will, and do.
​​Ive asked them to load one or two up already.

WH usually have those early markets up during December for the Festival 15 months ahead, but weren't doing that just yet when I looked at the weekend.

Looking forward to more opportunities to arise soon.

I mean, I normally after time once every few weeks, detailed posts. Very often using 50 words when 5 would have done. Everyone here who comes across my posts knows I back a long way out - months in advance, over a year in advance in a lot of cases.

I've also been questioned by others as to the legitimacy of my bets. I let those messages go. Because I'm just waiting to do a Wayne Harrison; my 12 months of profit by private message. With photos of my yacht, Lamborghini and 10 girlfriends.

^^^^^^Fixed that for you mate :encouragement:

You've been around long enough to know Eggs posts virtually every bit of yourodds, todayand, requestabet etc. he can get his hands on so that you and I can make up our own minds as to whether or not it is value. Directing your criticism at Eggs is unnecessary and weird to be honest. But then again, you know that and are pleased I've nibbled I'm sure.

I doubt Eggs sees his role in here as ‘advertising’ prices, he provides very useful and informative updates on specials, so questioning a bet/price he has seen and believes might be of interest to members, could be seen as inappropriate.
Plenty of members are interested in posts and threads on this subject so I hope Eggs isn’t offended by your comments and continues to add updates when he deems appropriate…

….I mostly post offers I see, not what I think is value. I back very few, and I rarely pass comment because folks opinion differs. This is a thread about ‘odds on offer’.

Looks like you have ignored the criticism anyway, but I find it very useful. Sure, some odds are absolute stinkers, but half the ones I do end up backing are because you've highlighted them. Worst case scenario we get to laugh at the pitiful odds!

One thing I have always been meaning to ask you, why do you start every post with "..."? :highly_amused: absolutely not a criticism but I've always wondered!

….ha, ha, the ellipses. I use ellipses because it’s a continuation of discussion. I don’t use them if I start a thread. All a bit silly but it’s what I’ve always done.

I actually thought the post by ‘That Horse’ was, indeed, very smartly done. I enjoyed it.

I’ve also sent a private message to the person in question. It was (as would be the norm), a detailed one.

It detailed very, very and very specifically clearly that should anyone question the legitimacy of the types of bets I do, then I would, at an instant, at a click, at whatever medium is preferred, send photographic evidence of my substantial profits thus far over a 12 month period. In fact, just the 9 months.

Like everyone on here, I cannot stand people gobbing off at others, and how profitable they might be. I detest it, genuinely.

But if anyone is going to even for a second’s notice question the way I bet, or ‘aftertime’ (when my monies are down months in advance anyway), then I have a legitimate right to defend myself - something I hate doing, and feel embarrassed to actually do.

I have had an extremely successful 3 years of seriously profitable betting. And I get upset even having to defend myself on a public forum to mention this. I have photos of annual profits from this year that would make people squirm, and even writing this, I feel angry that I’m typing these words.

But please, for anyone who wants to question my mode of betting, please don’t. I mean this sincerely.

I’m a very fair person, and hardly ever comment on other peoples posts. I think we can agree with that. It’s not my way. It’s rare I do. Once a month I would say.

But don’t question the way i bet. Trust me, if I sent you photos of annual ‘12 months’ of substantial profit just a touch below a five figure sum, you’d soon leave me very much alone.

I will continue to enjoy reading all of your knowledgable views, but for me for now, it’s over & out.

Reminder this is a general 2024 odds thread, can I suggest if you want to talk about your bets, betting style, P&L etc that you create a diary in the members section and keep that discussion in there….

Thankyou for putting this to bed Istabraq, appreciated.

I’ve been a very angry man this evening. I’ve been just a 1 second ‘click’ from sending 1 or 2 people some very ‘humbling’ photos tonight. I like using evidence, and believe me, nothing would make me more happier than utilising such ‘account photos’ to do just so. Two individuals in particular.

I appreciate you reminding me, and hopefully all others, of why we are here.

Thankyou Istabraq.

He doesn't want to talk about his P&L at all, he would feel embarrassed doing that, that's why he barely mentioned it 3 times in one post.

Makes him so bloody angry to have to mention his substantial profits that he will have no more talk on this matter. Don't tempt him or he will pain stakingly upload photographic proof to prove how upset he is about it.

Personally I find the whole "I made this much profit and it would make some of your squirm" rhetoric quite boring.

This forum, for me at least, is about learning and discussing opinions, not a dick swinging contest, hence why members in their diaries work on a points system not a stake amount.

You seem quite combative and trying to shame someone for a post on a thread regarding odds available for 2024 for literally quoting a price is sad. I enjoy posts by Eggs as it highlights stuff I may have missed. We are all adults and are capable of deciding if prices are value in our own opinions

In regards to being an angry man I suggest you relax a bit and stop thinking of betting as a competition against others when in reality we are all just trying to beat the bookmakers.
 
The Diary section is definitely the best place to talk about personal bets.

We can check in on those diaries any time we like, and subscribe to the ones we are most interested in.

In particular I have subscribed to some whose choice of bets, placed before the events, I’m interested in hearing about.

Thank you for those who put the time into their diaries and update their Page 1 of bets regularly- much appreciated. :encouragement:

I know I’ve only been back a few weeks lads but who on earth is this melt? He was a graphs mention away from being a Bigfish tribute act.
