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

Todays is: Appreciate It unbeaten 21/22 (at least 3 runs), Joe Tizzard to train a Chelt Festival winner, Shewearsitwell to place in the Mares Hurdle - 66/1.

I'd rather buy 33 lottery tickets
p.s no idea what I mean but you get my drift :biggrin-new:

I’d want 66/1 just for a Tizzard winner

Whether it makes much difference to the operation or not remains to be seen but Joe is running the show now, Colin takes a back seat.
Joe is highly regarded and is said to have been responsible for the changes that were made that led to performance improvements about 5ish years ago.
Colin less highly regarded....
 
Just realised I risk getting pelters for this, wasn't Shishkin 100/1 to go unbeaten last season or have I made that up?!

On BetVictor to go unbeaten Shishkin is 7/2, Honeysuckle 7/1, Appreciate It 8/1, Kilcruit 12/1 and Bob Olinger 12/1, so in the context of that and the prices Bob is likely to go off at all season, it seems decent... relatively speaking.

Sky have gone: Shishkin 3/1, Honeysuckle 7/2, Appreciate It 4/1, Bob Olinger 5/1, Energumene 6/1, Kilcruit 8/1, Minella Indo 12/1.

Victor have cut Bob from 12 into 10/1.

really poor them, especially the novice chasers.

Todays: Galopin Des Champ (AR) to win, One 2021 champ race winner to follow up & G. Elliott to be Chelt Festival leading trainer - 80/1.

All things considered that seems OK to me...

Albeit not a bet I will place as I don't like the 'one' 2021 champ race winner aspect.

I'd be wary of the Elliott leading trainer tbh. Willie and Henry have so much fire power, I can see them both beating GE

Id be making willie long odds on to win

Gordon has been stripped of his best graded horses and would need to win every handicap to beat willie
 
The wording on these recent RaBs man

Today's one: Monmiral (Fighting Fifth) to be placed, Journey With Me (AR) to win & Gentlemansgame (AR) to be placed - 66/1
 
Hi all, having posted in a while but enjoying all the terrific write ups from everybody. Just a heads up to anybody backing the Bet Victor specials to go unbeaten this season like Bob Olinger 10/1 must run 3 times. when i checked it said season ends 23 April. Punchestown dates for 2022 listed as Tuesday 26 April to 30 April. Just something for members to be aware of as i know some have dabbled.

That probably makes it a better bet to be fair,you would imagine Honey/ Bob will have 2/3 preps then Cheltenham. Won't have to worry about things going wrong at punchestown then.

There isn't a 2M4F Grade 1 Novice Chase at Punchestown.

There is one at Fairyhouse at its Easter Festival.
Its one of the main races on the Irish National weekend.
 
"Twitter Chosen Special" - Shishkin unbeaten 21/22, James Du Berlais (AR) to place (Chelt Festival), Bob Olinger (AR) to win (Chelt Festival) - 40/1

Galvin to win Gold Cup and Grand National 2022. 150/1
Galvin to win Grand National 2022 and 2023. 200/1

The prices aren't brilliant (although for a related double they also aren't horrendous), but I always wonder when things like this come up if someone knows something...

I dont think so, you can ask Skybet to load anything on RAB's on Twitter and they do.

Mostly it could be wishful thinking that they price it up too big, on these doubles, and give an opportunity for a quick bet before they cut the price.
