Triumph Hurdle 2019

Adjali has been smashed by O'briens second string. Blake tipped Fakir in the podcast. Move on and accept your horse is no good.

I won't fall for that. Thanks for trying.
 
Oh come on, Boopa.

Read through the last page or so carefully and just have a think about what point you're making.
 
My point is sound Adjali is no good wont even place.

Fine, don't aim the comments at anybody though please .... unless "your horse" meant Souede/Munir :p
 
Nothing wrong in accepting a horse you liked isn't good enough. The best punters will get most wrong. One horse is irrelevant over 1000's of bets.
 
Come on, all the forum digs and bitching getting seriously boring. Adjali lost, we move on. We are all here for one thing as previously mentioned
 
Good morning all, I'm 57. I'm old enough to make my own decisions. I backed Adjali on the back of Scoobys comments, my decision.I cashed out some after his first defeat, and cashed the rest yesterday, my decision. I've backed Pic, again on Scoobies bullish comments, my decision. If he doesn't get there it's nobodies fault apart from mine.i don't post much as I'm not as knowledgeable as most on here but please let's not go down the route of Betfair forum and become a bear pit and drive out the beast sources of information.

Couldn’t agree more. Scoobs provides opinion on certain areas, totally up to the individual if you choose to use that info.
 
365 "extra places" allows up to 10 places on that first race today...
:highly_amused:

They're 66/1 for the 150/1 shots 10 places
and 50/1 for the 100/1 shots

25 running :disgust:

Just logged in and Betway have voided the bet - pretty poor!

What are other views on this - we get on at 25/1 after yesterday’s race before they updated the odds of Fakir D’Oudairies on Betway. Do you think they should be standing by the bet as they took it?
 
Betway are a complete joke of a firm... complain and escalate it anyway through to the independent regulator, total scumbags

Youd have no case unfortunately. Palpable error. All in the t&cs
 
Yeah I get that but I would do it anyway just to annoy them! Worth a go in case they don’t want the hassle - you might get a free bet.

t would be a huge shame if this forum goes the way of some of the others out there. Used to read in on the likes of Betfair / Racing Forum etc and plenty used to get very bitchy and got for tat and it was one thing that set FJ apart...

Think it's pretty clear that Scooby has been pretty transparent throughout. Adjali was a heavy fancy for a long time. On all known form prior he had the clear beating of QD but lost over Christmas. He made it clear no real excuses so didn't lead anyone on after that. Then now Pic D'orhy has come over from France, something not even considered at the start of the season that's his 'one. And also clearly stated Adjali could lose today and highlighted the winner.

Personally think in this particular case Scoobys insight has been brilliant, for myself at least as French form isn't something I have ever focused on. It's just been touched on and It does appear to be a bit of a trend right now so perhaps something I'll concentrate on more going forward. But with limited time to cover all the English racing, then Irish I'll be hard pressed to fit anymore in! The Triumph, Fred Winter and Bumper were 3 races I was happy to leave along this year. But felt it would be pretty foolish to not take into account what Scooby was highlighting when the bookmakers have clearly been and still are slow to react or ignorant to the French form. It was and is imo an angle we should all at the very least look into. Add in the likes of Jackie, CoD and others who add in with skme French form - its invaluable on a forum like this imo. Of course it may not carry though as the season progresses, they are 3 and 4 year olds so the level of improvements can be considerable from race to race. So for that reason I was happy to back the following in this race:

Adjali
Fret D'estruval
Coko Beach
Pic D'orhy

All bar Coko Beach were put on following Scooby highlighting and putting them forward. That's not to say I'll ever follow him blind and they backed as he backed them but he highlighted enough of a reason for me to take a bet.

I agree I think he does have some level of persuasion on the forum. But I think it's fair to say that's been built up now from being a decent judge and who always backs up his bets and puts them down beforehand For all to see. It's then up to myself or anyone else to take that on and decide what we do with it.

Isn't that exactly what we want on here?

He's no messiah but no one is. The guy still doubts Presenting Percy so that says it all ;)

Adjali lost, move on right? I had him down for 100pt win. Cashed out any money I put on. Still have a 50pt return on a free bet on the slim chance he wins. Very unlikely now but you never know and most on here appear to have a b365 account so hopefully have been able to do the same
