Stupid Questions

….i always play the Tote Exacta on the handicaps, I think it tends to pay more. I got the Boodles Reverse Exacta with Jazzy last year which was a nice start. I’ll be doing placepots as well, indeed the ‘win’ often pays more than ‘sp’ on handicaps at the Festival.

i was thinking of opening a Tote thread this year but I imagine most posters are on-course.

Think a daily placepot thread might be good fun. Can get exciting with a few decent results early.
 
Morning all. It always gets to this time of year and I always forget....

What are the Decs for Cheltenham? 1 week? 6 days? 3 days? 1 day? and where is the best place to see them come in "live"?

Thanks

Ah great, thanks.... and the best place to see them? (Aside from in a thread on here or twitter which are my two alternatives) - BHA website?
 
If you had an ante post bet on a horse that's been scratched, then supplemented ... do you have a leg to stand on?

Had American mike for the BANC back in November at 25/1 - bets settled as a loser.

Anyone experienced this before?

Get on live chat Kev - that's still a runner and therefore an open bet.

Likes to know the answer on that.

Personally say loser as they would have changed the market when he pulled out and have now re jigged it when supplemented. So the make up is different.

There is no way on this earth that the bet should be settled as a loser.

It won't be settled as a loser if AM wins.

It's clear cut. Nothing has changed to the race, other than he has been supplemented.

Surely whether a horse has been supplemented is irrelevant as you've backed them in the race they run in?

Thumbs up for this.
might have to prompt them but it should stand.

only caveat is a random bookie adding terms and conditions to cover this scenario.
