Fulke Walwyn KIM MUIR Challenge Cup Amateur Riders Handicap

The people that laid the 999/1 mustve been crying as she came there swinging on the snaff

I always wonder once someone gets stung laying at that price if they give up laying these horses in running. Because laying a 1000/1 shot when it was a 3/1 fav just surely can’t be a beneficial thing to do. It can’t be. I refuse to believe it. So I wonder if they carry on laying the 1000/1 bets or quit it upon seeing one pissing in like she did last week

Surely its one of those things where people think they can't lose and are stealing money

Maybe they make a good amount but the day they lose wipes out an entire years profit if not more in one go

Those who lay those sorts of bets can get out through the race especially in jump racing thou to limit losses if it looks like it's going tits up. Couple of vocal lads on the BF forum(not so nowadays) didn't shy away from the fact when they had been stung but would carry on as if nothing happened laying away(only mindset you can have), it's not like these guys don't have 6 figure banks and "steal" hundreds a day anyway.

Need an element of luck thou as even with massive banks if you cop a couple in a short space in can severely hammer the cash flow, not for me.
