The most I've won in a day was when I piled stupid money on Rip Van Winkle to win the QEII last year. Personal best though was two years ago at Newbury, this weekend just gone. Was busy and off out for the day so instead of deciding which horses to back properly I just done a placepot which paid 82/1. Only had the pound on. Was bittersweet as I picked 5 winners out of 6. Oldrik got my placepot going by finishing 4th, then picked the next 5 that went in; Cry Of Freedom, Sixties Icon, Paco Boy, Underworld and Glen Molly. Couldn't believe my eyes when I got home and checked teletext.

Had a few and some shockers mind

Best one I remember was a Mr Thriller and Kauto Star double added Diamond Harry for a treble on the Betfair chase day last year and watching Kauto look like it got beat cue texts going round the bookies saying defo beat then the result of the photo.. cue mayhem in billy hills

Landed a 120/1 shot last year at Newmarket fell down the stairs after

Spirit River and Poet have been my best single wins this year

Oh and Makfi 40/1 off CP is the best tip I have ever seen/had made a stack off that

Re: More betting chat.... : Sun Aug 15, 2010 12:49 pm  

A few good punts for me in the past... first one that spring to mind..

Backing madam macie at 100/1 at catterick last year, first time out 2 yr old and romped home! and then simple jim on the same card also won , great day

had a 550/1 placepot in times gone by, used to do them alot but not so much now.

put big lumps of money on kauto star for gold cups/king georges

hopefully got another to come.... hanagan for flat jockeys championship at 40/1

I think hes got the jockey title but laying any mate?

Done Bank On Black on drift to 11/4

Re: More betting chat.... : Sun Aug 15, 2010 1:24 pm  

That was crap.

I fancy Wire -10 4/5 if we are in the mood today.

Come on Makfi! just hope the other find the ground too tough, can't get it on online bookies TV stream so going to have to nip the bookies

Anybody else had a bet on the golf? Of the 4 i picked pre-tournament only Bubba Watson is in with a shout. A 6th place finish for him would be very nice. Had a little play on Furyk today as well @20s.
