Not at all. It’s not my way of betting. But he’ll certainly be going into doubles with my other strong fancies. Also thinking of having a couple of ‘24 fancies rolling on to him.
 
I'm sure you can but just double checking if you can log in to online bookmaker sites in Tenerife with local wifi and also your own data? Is one better than the other? I've got VPN.

B365 and Coral are the best in my experience.

Hills are the worst as always ask me for my location to be turned on.

When using your VPN do you use the free wifi or mobile data? Also when you log in do yoy log in by app or goggle site? Cheers.sorry when not in the UK.
 
If you have a card on a betting account with positive net deposits, can you still withdraw money from your online account in person in the betting shop or can you only withdraw online onto that card until the net deposits are down to zero?

Would you be more likely to run into hassle making one or two fairly big withdrawals, or six or seven smaller withdrawals do we think? Over the course of a couple weeks.

I'm talking about with big name bookies like hills, paddy, 365 etc.

Just want to know in advance of next week to avoid any possible annoying verifications. So if anyone knows or has experience with the matter it'd be a help. :encouragement:

Been doing this today, whilst also loading up on Slade Steel for supreme - on the assumption Henderson's yard are and will continue to under perform
 
Henderson’s yard are always out of form (based on fork percentages) in the run up to every festival as he never sends out any of his good horses in the few weeks before.

He’s had 8 runners in the last 2 weeks with one win. Of them 8 runners only one was favourite.

We have the same conversation about his form every year in the lead up

I agree this is quite a common topic before many festivals and I’m pretty sure his win percentage in the month of February in 3 of the last 4 years has dipped quite dramatically and has still gone on to bag a few winners at each festival.

however, I can’t recall there being as many pulled up horses, now horses being pulled out on veterinary advice, con hill virus, sir Gino issue (potentially a virus too). These things concern me more than his strike rate dipping. I don’t think you can feel too confident about any of his horses running well next week. I hope I’m wrong.
