This won't be for everyone.......but the (hopefully) silly twitter rumours about Bob and even Honey missing festival reminded me of a strategy i like to do and that has paid well, plus helped the sleep with injuries and Mullins bingo :cool-new:
Idea is try and cover....and even profit by late changes or withdrawals :cheerful:
Easiest to explain by a success was lucky to have last year....and important to flag, they do NOT all end like this.....mostly you have a pot of dead bets :miserable:
When Appr It was declared for 2m in last pre-Chelt race, as well as single on Supreme, i did him in doubles with Supreme and the obvious Ballymore favs (Bob, Brave and GDM.....3 bets, but still huge odds and small stakes)......easy to highlight a very profitable success, but as i said, this approach will mostly result in dead bets....but is a way of covering scenarios that might happen and mess up your months or work.....and can be cheaper and more profitable than NRNB lumps on
So couple thoughts i have done so far.....and be interested in other ideas if anyone thinks this is even remotely sane :teapot:....
Bob misses or turns out not to be what we hoped over fences ....
- Galopin switches to Turners? - so double hime with Brave and maybe Ahoy?
- Blue Lord switches?....so double him with Ferny
- Champ switched to chasing.....so KD and Flooring doubles
A more mad one i am toying with is if Energumene misses festival (already poss Chacun will).....would Willie (desperate to win CC) switch Allaho? And then who would i double him with? be tiny stakes at huge odds, but nit sure who or if bit mad
This maybe a strategy you want to play late....as first hear of a potential rumour.....thankfully cos of this forum and twitter feeds, i heard about Appreciate it and got him doubled with Ferny
Feel free to just say its lunacy.....and lightening won't strike again.....you may well be right :watermelon:
