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

Just had 2pts on Henry de Bromhead to have 3+ winners @ 11. With Notebook and Honeysuckle he could have 2 by 4.15 on the Tuesday and then he's got A Plus Tard, Aspire Tower and anything in the handicaps

It's not that I don't like these bets, it's just I always feel IF that was going to land, you could make more backing it in the form of fancied horses...

He'll never be deep enough in a race to have a 2nd or 3rd string win.... which is where the value can be in those markets?

I get that but sometimes it's just easier to back that than worry about where honeysuckle will run, where a plus tard will go and all that nonsense

Yes, fair point.

I suppose it's a case of judging each bet on its merit.


Hope it lands for you, I imagine I'll have backed almost every one of Henry's good'uns :encouragement:
 
Until bookies change their approach you can’t perm any ‘any race’ horses in multis so, whilst value reduces, you’re not losing sleep about which of the half dozen entries many of these horses are given...
 
Who requested this?

Bapaume, Melon, Lord Royal, Supasundae & Column Of Fire All to finish in the top 5 of any race at Cheltnehma Festival



It's 100/1 :highly_amused:

Never seen one for 5 places... I actually really like it, I have no idea if it's value as top 5 is impossible to gauge.


Well it's almost certainly not 'value' - but could be fun....

You'd fancy Melon to get top 5, and Bapaume in Arkle or Marsh
Supasundae will be staying on well in a CH, if he's close enough I could see that...
Column Of Fire wins the Martin Pipe so no worries there...

And Lord Royal I thought was uber impressive on debut.... an under the radar horse but I like him....
 
Kevloaf - that was me. Not posted on FJ before but many may remember me from old BF forum days where I used to post things up quite a bit (Faugheen thread most viewed in history over!)

Much like your summary, I fancy all of these ante-post & decided to approach a few with Top 5 finishes (thinking races could cut up etc) - I like you am all over COF (ideally for Pipe but did get big price any race with 365 before they copped onto themselves) & think this Lord Royal is a serious sleeper waiting to burst onto people’s radar very soon - could even end up Mullins best novice this year. I fancy Bapaume in Arkle & Melon in JLT (Marsh) but this allows a swap & even to run in same race. I’ve managed to get a few quid on each day since I requested for a nice old return if this requesta lands & told a few mates to have a go too! Good luck if you’re following in!

Haha, I've unearthed a lurker :triumphant:

Welcome to the forum! :)



....and yeah, I have had a very small bet on it so far.... usually my 'problem' with a bet like this is that it's not factoring in the chances that all 5 avoid injury in the next 7 weeks usually.... but this one is in the NRNB section which is why it appealed so much.



Any others you've put up that you like?

I requested the other 2 on there with top 5 finishes that have been priced at 55/1 & 66/1 - not quite as appealing price but interesting they are prepared to keep pricing them up! Horses I seriously like / on my close radar:

Bapaume (Arkle), Melon (Marsh), Floueur (anyrace), Tronador (Boodles), COF (ideally Pipe but any hcap hurdle he’ll go close) & Edwardstone / Chantry House (Supreme) along with Lord Royal as already discussed - Flic Ou Voyou is also on my radar for the county if he can sneak in at the bottom on that form at Wincsnton earlier this season...
 
Bit of aftertiming but the Mullins boost today was pretty rock solid eh?! 3/1 for the 3 shorties.

I was hoping you'd gone for that bet
 
I got on that, my only issue now is what to do with the winnings! I've got to sit down and really think about some ante post doubles and trixies tonight
 
With seven more Skybet free bets till the festival i will now be saving these up to use when the festival starts and will add to here when used.

I get where you are coming from BUT I don't have anything on BDD or Defi and I have most other covered in QMCC.
Could be a way to get BDD and Defi in the book...

AS the bet is NRNB.
what happens if one of them don't run ?
i'e what odds do they pay out at ?
or is it just No bet if they all don't run and money back ?

Normally they do "an enhanced accumulator on the starting prices" of the others
 
Id swerve that, champ chase looks very competetive this year! I love un de sceaux but hes been seriously 1 paced this year in his runs
