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

Posted in my diary, will also post here:

I know we don't talk stakes but for sake of ease and explaining returns, but with Sky a fiver EW treble on PTKO, TMSG and FP returns 148 if they all place.

If you use the 'to place' market down at the bottom it returns 295 off a tenner (obviously do a small saver on the win treble as you aren't getting that as part of the bet!)

Odds are as follows:

PTKO place top 3 QMCC @ 11/4
TMSG place top 3 Mares Hurdle @ 13/8
Flooring Porter place top 3 stayers @ 2/1

Obviously all have to make it and some luck will be required there, but we have two returning champions and an exciting mare in TMSG. Will they all win, probably not, but nearly 30/1 to hit the frame is appealing when you consider none of them have ever lost at Cheltenham, all three are festival winners, two are reigning champions and TMSG looks mustard.

Lobos will be doing backflips

Good spot, never noticed that before:encouragement:

A rare RAB that seems like a bit of value...

Bob Olinger (MNC), Honeysuckle (CH) both to win, Gaillard Du Mesnil (AR) and Latest Exhibition both to place.

250/1

Do we think this one was ‘fat jockied*’ after you posted it and Skybet just took it down as can’t see it?

*fat jockied is a term used for a price that has been significantly shortened or the selection even removed from the market due to significant liabilities associated with a post on the Fat Jockey forum

Yeah that's definitely been fat jockied...

I've just done my back in.....

I’m not on Twitter, so I’m hoping someone here has a SKYBet account and Twitter and can request the following??

Cheveley Park to own 2 winners
Willie Mullins to have 4+ winners
Henry de Bromhead to have 2+ winners
Gordon Elliott to have 2+ winners

if anyone could for their Requestabets section, I’d thoroughly be extremely appreciative,

Bolly.

That one's already on, 4/5.

 

[Joeski29]

I got a price of 80s for these horses to be placed :

I Am Maximus any race
Journey With Me any race
Sharjah Champ hurdle
Minella Indo Gold Cup

Decent enough I think when they've got the first 2 with Thyme Hill and Monmiral all to be placed at 33s

Nope, I got that at 11/10 when it first went on a fortnight ago.

I would like a Requestabet for all 4 of the ‘events’ to happen at Cheltenham as just 1 price.

I dont think you will get much value off that, as AV says the CP 2 or more is now 4/5 and the others prob likely to be very short. But who knows, maybe someone will price it up for a cushy wee number in an accumulator! Good luck

100% agreed Big Bucks, but I have a price in my head I’d like it to be. There are instances when 50/1 might be I interpreted as value, and there are instances where 1/2 might be equally interpreted as value.

‘Value’ is only ever in the eye of the bettor, and his or her interpretation of the event happening & the risk v reward of it being successful.

I really hope someone can get this priced up, and to see if Skybet will offer the price what I believe is fair.

Yep 100% know what you are saying mate, hopefully someone on here can get that added for you and reach what you are looking for.

I made a fortune few years ago with these type of bets with the Elliott, Mullins, HDB winners. Definitely underestimated the Irish, but have caught on now!

Will keep an eye out!

They've refused to price it up - said they won't offer anything like that until closer to the time... :grey:

Suppose it was alot of hassle after the Elliott scenario!

Added - Bob (Marsh) and Honey (Champion) both win, Appreciate It, Echos In Rain and Kilcruit all to place any race @ 50/1 (boosted, specials, @TWEnclosure Bets)

They're looking to take Bob on with Ferny now aren't they? Interesting stuff

Something in my mind keeps telling me that Mullins will do a switcheroo and send FH Arkle and AI Marsh.

 

[Silverbirch]

Something in my mind keeps telling me that Mullins will do a switcheroo and send FH Arkle and AI Marsh.

The only way I see that happening is if Appreciate It gets beat over 2m. Who realistically is going to do that other than Ferny? And the chances Willie throws them both in a 2m chase has got to be slim...

 

[Odin]

Something in my mind keeps telling me that Mullins will do a switcheroo and send FH Arkle and AI Marsh.

I was heavily pro-Ferny Arkle and still have him covered in some nice bets for that (particularly if eklat wins the Ladbrokes), but I've admitted defeat in that conquest given references to fernys stamina and directly name dropping the arkle for appreciate it. I have no issue if it happens though!

 

[Eggs]

…Sky have a ‘Trainers & Owners’ RaB section within their Cheltenham RaBs which I haven’t noticed before.

A whole list of offers in there such as Mullins to be top trainer at 4/5. Looks like the biggest offer is 4-1 for R Curtis to have 1 or more winners.

 

[isitmarchyet]

I asked Sky to price up Ontheropes Ladbrokes Trophy + Brown Advisory since I want him covered for that race having missed the nicer prices. They've put it up at 80/1. Obviously the actual double would probably be twice the price but for a bit of cover I don't think that's too bad.
