Any idea when Lads/Coral reset stake so you can re-bet a same selection after being maxed out?

An extra Ten quid a month might not seem like a lot to some, but om the grand scheme of things and weighing things up it all adds up and I am really contemplating cancelling my racing post subscription. Shame they feel they have to up it.

I agree. I will do the same with Racing TV after the festival. I can't justify £30 a month for one channel that I can only watch on one tele when I can watch the racing on Betfair and RTC on catch up within a few hours of it first airing.

Cancelled it and Racing TV today. Outrageous prices when you think of it. Funding all them shitty tipsters and columnists.

Will survive without

Now you can watch all the racing on bookies sites without having a bet having racing tv isn't a must at all

Plus all race replays on sporting life and racing tv for nothing

….yep, replays tend to be available on SL around 20mins after a race. Need to log-on but it’s a good facility.

Racing TV tends to be free to air on Cheltenham race days up to lunchtime, so you can get the build up anyway.

Can someone remind me of the requirements a horse to run at the festival in a handicap?

Can't remember but think the State Man 3 runs for a mark including his FR run has changed?

Why don't you to the Black Friday RTV offer?

For most of the handicaps it’s 4 runs needed prior to the festival, think the only exception is the boodles where 3 is allowed.

Can’t remember if one of the chases is allowed as 3.

 

[Black Dog]

I'm pretty certain you still need 3 runs for the handicap chases and Boodles, 4 for all aged handicap hurdles.

I rang and asked for it but was told new customers only.

I say I want to cancel every time its due to go full price and they keep me at half price for an extra 6 months.. About 3yrs in with it now

Cheers. I will try this next time. I'll leave it until after the festival now as I don't want to call their bluff and be without it for the best 6-weeks of the year!

I do the same but for 12 months. Luckily mine renews in May so will happily cancel if they refuse me as I don’t watch it much during the summer flat racing anyway.

 

[TigerRolllllll]

Discussion on jockeys belongs here I guess

I don’t get why Willie doesn’t have a top no.2 as Paul was to Ruby?

Succession planning as much as anything …,Paul only has few years

Plentry good younger jockeys would do anything for such a chance…..so if he doesn’t like Danny (no idea why not) then sort it

lots of our bets are going to fall on the PM hill come March

 

[FinalFurlong91]

Maybe Danny doesn't listen to team orders too well

Can't see why else he's not on all the 2nd string

He could easily get a young lad like Mikey osullivan as 2nd jock and heir to pauls throne

Clearly he just likes giving his son winners

For me RTV is essential. It sounds a lot but I can't buy 5 pints for £30 in the nearest city these days. Everything is expensive!

RTV have come back with a 17.99 p/m offer (unsolicited)

Thank fuck they didn’t say 18 cause that would’ve blown the gasket.

Shove it and the 1c.

Irishracing (free), sporting life (free) RTE Racing (free) bookies streams (free) Fat Jockey (free)

Gonna lowball customer service Scott and put him under some duress

I agree, being able to just put a TV on and have it in any room, or watch on my phone whilst at work, or whilst at the PC at the click of a button is just too convinient.

I do understand why people wouldn't though, the ability to watch via a bookie or get replays quickly does render it non essential.


I essentially pay for convinence and horse racing is hobby I enjoy the most so I find it easy to justify.

Is it a waste of money, yeah.... will I keep paying, yeah.... cos I'll spunk more than 30 notes on a horse that won't run at the festival every week and think nothing of it :indecisiveness::hopelessness:
