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

….Facile Vega to win the CB & then a/r at the following Festival is 66-1 with Sky.

One that will either look very good or very bad after we see him run.

Was just having a nose at some of these and noticed Facile Vega is priced up twice to win the CB and 2023 Supreme. Once at 80/1 and then again the same bet at 150/1. Both in the Antepost special doubles section
 
Wow, this might be down too different people asking for same bet. Known twitter accounts getting reduced prices maybe..
 
Just seen a great RequestABet...

"Balco Coastal"

No idea if he's meant to win a race, place, be entered or just exist to be honest, but he's 12/1 to do it :highly_amused:

Honestly who have they employed at Sky... :beaten:
 
Have requested American mike and facile vega twar in the 2023 festival
just got back to me at 80/1
Worth a punt imo
 
Anyone on here on the ferny hollow (AR) JWM (AR) double 150/1 ?

….yep, i have it. Decent voucher to be sitting on but a lot can happen.

Edit; bet placed 14th March.

This still about at all ? Can’t find anything.
 
I'm on American Mike and Ferny Hollow (AR) at 100/1 but not that one when did you place it?

18th of march bet was placed, got it on my account and my mrs, hopefully both turn up at Cheltenham touch wood.

It had gone down to 100-1 by the 22nd March...
 
For those of you interested, there are a number of 2023 RABs in the National Hunt RequestABets section on Sky. Worth checking out as the prices aren't bad. For example:

American Mike (AB), Facile Vega (SNH) 200/1
Jonbon (SNH 22, A 23), Facile Vega (CB 22, SNH 23) 250/1

Not my kind of bet, but remember a bunch of us had Envoi/Shishkin equivalents at similar prices

I have a feeling AM is a bit speedier than an AB horse and could be headed for a Ballymore next year on current showing. Plus I could seen FV heading that same direction. I think Redemption Day looks like he could be a faster animal to me for the Supeme for Willie

I'd tend to agree tbh, but just wanted to highlight a couple of those available. That said, it would surprise me if AM went to the AB more based on Gordon's record than anything I've particularly seen about the horse as I don't have the eye to see these things from Bumper performances
 
What sort of people request these bets and why are they even put up!

Kilcruit to win the Marsh 2023 & JWM to win the Turners 2023 - 250/1

Two winners of the same race :boxing:
