Request-a-Bets (was 'Sky Bets' thread)

Morning mate, I'd be tempted to do two doubles instead; EDR (GC) with TSL in both Ballymore and AB at bigger prices. He might turn up in the Martin Pipe though I suppose:ambivalence:

Big game for us today Eggs. A must win:boxing:


…absolutely, both strikers missing but hopefully we are just better than them. 3 points and it’s a decent start, drop points and plenty of doom & gloom.
 
What makes you think he's Hennessy bound ? I don't remember HDB ever running one in it.

He’s on a really nice mark and I’d imagine HDB will want to split his 3m chasers up to some respect. Paired with a rumour I heard that this was his early target. I’d really fancy him if he turned up!
 
Not for me but in the National Hunt RequestABets section...

Shiskin (Tingle Creek & Champion Chase), Bob Olinger (Marsh), Kilcruit (Ballymore): 66/1

As an aside they have Greaneteen to win the Tingle Creek at 7/2. What kind of a disgustingly bad price is that?!

That Greaneteen price might be the worst AP price ever

Jesus thats absolutely abysmal. I'd need two bet slips if I were backing that now. One for me and one for the fella behind me holding a gun to my head! :playful:

in reaction to ferny sounding like he's chasing looking at some of these. I quite like

Bob Olinger (MNC) & Honeysuckle (CH) & Ferny Hollow (AR) all to win.

its 80s with sky and with ferny target not declared you get a decent any race price on him. if ferny is in same race as bob it also prob keeps all my appreciate it arkle bets in play:tongue-new:
 
There is also:

Flooring Porter (Stayers), Bob and ferny (any race) 200/1 which I've had a nibble at, thinking along the same lines as you fatherjohn

I see skybet have pushed the following out today to 125-1 so I've thrown a free bet at it. Appreciate It (A) to win & James Du Berlais (AR) to place, Shishkin unbeaten 21/22, One '21 champ race winner follow up.

Wow, I'd want 125/1 just to work that out !

Where is that one?! Surprised they're doing anything involving unbeaten horses

It's at the very top along with a short essay explaining the bet.

Wow, even went on that page but somehow scrolled straight down to the '80/1 and above' section :highly_amused: much appreciated.

I actually really like that. If we take each component we should get something like 75/1 if my maths is right, so that seems pretty good to me.

James Du BerlaisARPlace2.5
ShishkinUnbeaten4*
One Champ Race Winner 1.89**
*Taken the Tingle Creek, Clarence House and QMCC treble quoted on Sky, about as close to an unbeaten price as I can see

**Just worked this out statistically. Also would have came in for 3 of the last 4 years (Al Boum Photo, Altior, Buveur d'Air).
Edit... Assumed this was at least one, if it's exactly one then it's something like 2.43 which makes the above 100/1.

Don't know what you're on about

As in, I thought it was just that any of those four had to win. But if it's exactly one of those four, then if for example Honeysuckle and Minella Indo both win, then the bet is a loser.
 
Price discrepancy with Sky

Galvin to win XC and the Grand National 40/1

Galvin to win Any Race at Cheltenham Festival & Grand National 75/1

If anyone fancies it, its under Ante Post special Doubles
