I like the bet mayo
 
Think I might try a few of those bets myself mayo, with any luck we might get enough turning up to give us a yankee, or at least a trixie

Any time I get a win during the year I add a few. Keeps interest alive. Real shame barters didn't make it for the early ones.

That's got the potential to be a hell of a nervous 3 weeks Zoowraa....
 
I did a £3 yankee today:

Might Bite 12/1 :grumpy:
Ballyward 14/1
Yorkhill 11/4 (not a fan but felt I had to start covering him at some point)
Death Duty 9/4

Hendo didn't sound very positive about MB - typical.

I made the poor mistake of backing multiples antepost rather than singles

Multiples are probably better as the festival gets closer when targets are more clear etc, this is my first season betting AP though so...
 
My first two multiples this season were the two forum Yankees.. :)
Definitely the way forward as targets become clearer (and prices get shorter!)
 
Yeah sadly ive already done the multiples and now wishing id done some singles instead. Managed to get on Thistlecrack at 6/1 and ive done Defi de Seuil in a single along with Cause of Causes
 
hi all... back once again for another fes prep and sleepless nights no doubt as talk of targets changing begins!

I have already made a number of significant singles bets across the boards over the past few months... now its time to hit the multis. Yes these are shorties before its pointed out, but thats my game. Trying to bump up some targets that i missed (DD and thistle mainly) as well as topping up my strong fancies. Anyone any thoughts on the below (other than the obvious risk with Faugheen)?

4 folds
Douvan, Thistlecrack, Unwimh, Death Duty 30s
Douvan, Thistlecrack, Yorkhill , Death Duty 35s

CH/Mares combos
Faugheen, Annie, Douvan 18s
Faugheen, Annie, Douvan, Yorkhill 82s
Faugheen, Annie, Douvan, Death Duty 71s
Faugheen, Annie, Douvan, Unwimh 77s
Annie, VVM, Douvan 21s

4/5 folds:
Altior, Faugheen, Douvan, Death Duty, Thistlecrack 64s
Altior, Douvan, Yorkhill, Unwimh 42s
Altior, Douvan, Yorkhill, Death Duty 38s
Altior, Douvan, Unwimh, Death Duty 34s

Getabird Combos
Getabird, Yorkhill, Unwimh 85s
Getabird, Yorkhill, Death Duty 90s
Getabird, Unwimh, Death Duty 72s
 
This is similar to an approach that I used the year before last and I fell flat on my face! However, you do only need one of these to come in (assuming level stakes) and all is good. :very_drunk:

The biggest flaw with this approach (as you know) is that you are very dependent on Douvan. Granted - if he starts and stands up, he wins.
BUT 2 months is a long time and if Faugheen doesn't make it and Douvan either gets injured or falls (god forbid) - it's all down to Getabird...

Having said all that... if they all show up in the right place, I would imagine that a few of those would come in.... Worth the risk!


(As an aside, my biggest AP stake thus far (by a margin) is on the Altior/Douvan/Thistlecrack Treble - followed by a VERY speculative Treble on Faugheen (CH), Annie Power (Mares) and VVM (Stayers) @ 125's.......so I am by no means against such tactics!)
 
Deebee/Leman

There's a number of Ricci horses in there, are you not tempted to take the even money 4 or more winners ?
 
I've gone a little ante post crazy this year, the latest:

Yanworth - champion hurdle
Defi De Suiel - Triumph
Cantlow - Cross Country

E/W Trixie
Treble pays 170/1
