I know but using the machines keeps you under the radar. They didn’t have Cheltenham or ante post on the machines in any shop I’ve tried before so this is a step in the right direction and worth checking your local ladbrokes shop if like me you’re having to resort back to cash bets.

Certainly will, though if you don't have the SSBT option then spreading your stake around and/or placing smaller bets should keep you under the radar. I do a lot of Ante Post on William Hill's terminals as you can no longer do them OTC. Can't take horse racing bets over the counter, whatever next!?!?
 
Just a heads up for those like myself with limited accounts and having to go back to cash bets. I popped into my local ladbrokes this morning and whilst looking on their machines noticed that they have now included an ante post horse racing section including Cheltenham! Could be handy for us cash punters and gives us more options. Il check out the betfred machines next time I’m passing by

Yep, my local Ladbrokes has that facility. Prices do differ from on line and in some instances they are better.

I hope the Rottweiler is ok.
Looks like he’s about to have his snout bitten off.

Yeah, feel afraid for the Fox behind them as well. He's taking a big risk.

Looks like Willie could update his gallops a bit. Total Bog !!
 
Some hefty looking work riders in that yard, no wonder they're all aeroplanes come the track.
 
Just been on the sporting life site and see theres an Harry Derham stable tour. Just tried to set a link to it but looks like this new chromebook wont let me :cower:
So if someone would like to start the 2023/2024 stable tour thread carry on.

Think there's a link to that one already somewhere on here maybe in members section
 
Was browsing through the ryanair market trying to find any interesting ones

What do people reckon about Flame Bearer at 25/1

Was awful at his fences at the start of last season but was beginning to warm to it as the season went on

No bet at this stage but he has been added to my maybe pile for the race
 
Wont feature at the Festival imo FF. Simply not good enough.

Anyone else hate the way a lot of racing and bookmaking websites have the "judder and slow load adds" built in to their opening page to make you click on fucking shit you're not interested in ?

ATR, Racing Post, Oddschecker and most bookmakers sites all do it.
Should be fucking banned.

Every fucking day I get conned into clicking on some bullshit add, just because I can't wait an extra second for the screen to settle.
Sometimes I'm in a rush to get a bet on or obtain information and I end up looking at fucking andy holding waving his fist up in the air in a random manner. Or on some random bookies webpage, I'm already a member of.

I then have to click off that, and wait even longer till all of the screen has loaded.:hopelessness:

All this shit about affordability checks and the like is all well and good.

But the biggest issue in racing is the website abuse IMO.
They know what they're doing.

They can Get fucked.

PS, I can accept this sort of stuff on porn sites and have learnt to manage my emotions and patience much better with those. Mainly because Andy Holding's face is not the worst thing that can pop up.:culpability:
 
And to add, this website is not entirely innocent.
The number of times I've ended up on fucking cartoon dogs website is not funny :highly_amused::applause:
