Stupid Questions

What's the benefit of 'scratching' a horse from a race a month away from it? Would a fee have to be paid to be kept entered from today?
 
Bit of a boring & niche one this, but has anyone ever placed a bet with a boosted/enhanced odds, only for it to appear in their Open Bets section without the odds boosted? The bet in question was with William Hill, who I know can be a bit erratic with how/whether they display your open bets. Just wondering if this is a common problem rather than worrying about whether I did select the odds boost (sure that I did).

Yep, very common issue with WH and much discussed here. I think we're still at the "we're looking into it" stage, if you can call it a stage, they clearly aren't! They assure us that the bets will be paid out at the boosted price if placed as such. I have an issue with all of my boosted bets placed before mid-October, but the returns figure takes into account the boosted price, so hopefully it wont be an issue should the rare event of me actually having a return occur...

Is there any difference between Supreme and Triumph hurdles apart from age eligibility?
 
Can someone give me a reason why I should not euthanise my border terrier.
He is 15 yrs old, part deaf and part blind with dementia.

I've managed ok with that, but over last 2 days he has had a bad stomach :concern:
Having been sick all over himself and me yesterday as I tried in vain to carry him outside, after seeing him retching.

Today (about an hour ago) he whipped himself into shitting position before I could blink.

Then, during the mid carry panic from the living room to outside, he proceeded to pebble dash the wall and lovely antique mirror.
And obviously there was plenty on the carpet.

I think a Vote is the best way.

I propose to suffocate him in his favourite wrap around bed.:sorrow:

His life is in your hands.

Vote -

1 - Kill Paddy (it's for the best, for all concerned) :encouragement:

or

2 - Let the bastard live (his owner deserves to suffer) :crushed:

He don't wear a fucking scarf (or cravat), that's for sure.
And he's not smiling either :blue:
 
Sorry to hear that Q - the loss of a pet is the reason I don't have one.

My dad cried when the dog died - only time I've seen him cry! I'd vote A though:dejection:

I love my dog. I'll be heartbroken when he dies, and I'm sure you will too Q. But I absolutely pissed myself at that. :highly_amused:

Humour is always the best was to deal with shitty stuff.
