Question is does dineen tip more winners than Nicholls has winners

I'd say 0 to 1 for both is likely so far lol

What a tipster.

I wish Upping the Ante would just never ever get mentioned again on this site. :eek:


Doesn't deserve it.

May sound weird to say but even though Palledium didn't place or win I'm happy the horse gave it a go. Looked alright for most of the race just fitness was lacking. I had a saver on the winner since I knew it liked heavy ground from its French run earlier in career, but I'm happy with a losing 50/1 weirdly at least it gave the race a go.

Also happy I followed you in. I think he was as low as 12s in a place earlier today before a marked drift before the race. In the tracker....
 
I know we generally hear about the good punting but I've genuinely not had a worse days punting for as long as I can remember :hopelessness::boxing::black_eyed:

It was one of them days that I question everything about how I approach horse racing and if I should even bother!

I might sign off until Cheltenham and then just after time the s**t out of it, thats how bitter I'm feeling about the day :highly_amused:

Anyway, I hope you all had better days than me, it wouldn't be hard to :encouragement:

On to Naas tomorrow :rolleyes:

I backed 5 horses today

All 5 of them came second

The only bet i won was laying bo zenith

I have a chronic case of seconditis

I had a really good flat season, likely because the ground was good all summer so the form had consistency. Jumps season has been dreadful, landing an ante post bet on bravemansgame, conflated in the savills and the big dogs two wins just about keeping me from disaster in the jumps so far.

​​​​​​​hopefully saving my luck for Cheltenham

I've been the same since the December Cheltenham meeting, most horses I've backed haven't run any sort of race at all and usually the first beaten, Arctic brasil today and envoi allen in the king george being two such examples. Thinking of taking a break til the festival now myself.

Complete opposite for me COD ! Don't bet daily but both Love Envoi and Tahmuras were very impressive and could turn out nice AP 'winners' come March. That's how it goes. One man's Trash is another man's Treasure.

Could well be the same score after day 1 this year.
Ultima and Constitution Hill are looking likely
jonbon in the arkle
Marie's rock, love envoi, epatante in the mares

Total blank today and only had two winning racing bets since like mid December.

I dont care about the money cos what i bet is what I set aside for this hobby.

But the unrelenting nature of feeling of like you don't know anything is pretty grating.

Also makes me doubt if I should be putting Cheltenham bets down when my radar is so off!

Take a break until after the DRF . Just watch it all unfold . Targets will be so much clearer then. Yes prices will clearly drop but at least you'll be much more likely to get a run for your money. Sometimes chasing the big odds is not the answer and FOMO definitely isn't.
 
Been on a similar bad run. Hard to get winners, lots of seconds and the ones I back e/w are being just run out of places. Worse again, I had a banging hangover New Year’s Day after a wedding NYE, kids were with their granny, sat on the couch watching the racing. Lovely. Had Marie’s rock and first street backed in the reelkeel. Delighted with Maries rock run, forgetting the fear and hangover for a bit. go to check the account and the winnings, nothing there. Check history nothing there. Wtf. Not backed it, still not sure how that happened. specifically remember hitting the place bet button. Went on a similar bad run last year, ended with me screaming a 10/1 shot on at gowran convinced the bad run had ended. Hadn’t backed that one either.

:welcoming:

think the big freeze has really f*cked things up, usually do ok with the December Cheltenham meeting and The long walk meeting at Ascot. Lots of earlier season form lines come together and usually get a bit of a buffer going into the mad Christmas period. Not happened, so scrambling a bit.
