    Sizing Europe looks a good bet for the cautious

    10 runs 5 wins (3 on soft ground) 2 places. 9/4 atm.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 lilowlil

    Seriously, of course this thread belongs here. If horse racing is not gambling, what the hell is? I was here last year for Cheltenham and Im here again, I never heard anyone complain about it last year. If you lock this thread and move it over to horse racing you are a joke. Yeah like people who gamble on horses have any interest in what saddles are made of and what they eat and how to treat them etc etc. Get out of town. Cheltenham, gambling. End of.

    I here Sublimity tommorow has a better chance than last year and he won it last year. This comes from the owners son. I work with his mate and they cleaned up on him last year. 6/1

    One of my mates cousin is a bookie and he does give the odd good tip, to me. Anyway so far he has given me:

    Kruguyrova 12/1 and Lankawi 25/1

    Last of all a lad who lives where I am from owns a horse called fiveforthree, Ruby Walsh is riding it and it runs in the Ballymore Properties Novice Hurdle 2m 5f. Anyway I hear that its been held back or some crap like that and its meant to have a good chance. The whole of Leixlip is meant to be backing it anyway. Could be complete bull crap but he has been gambled into 10/1 from 16's or something.

    Any good tips I do get from here on I will put up here and look forward to seeing your tips.

    ps Dont shoot the messenger. Also did I say that I love this thread and that people talking about locking it have no clue what Cheltenham is about. Good luck.

    I'm having 3 bets. Carruthers to win on Friday, Cockleshell Road in the bumoer on Wednesday, and Harchibald to be unplaced today (around 7/4 on Betfair). I'm most confident about Harchibald, I think he's tragically underpriced and will be outclassed today, I really think he's past his best.

    Please note I accept no liability for these tips if things go very wrong. However, it was a good panel so hopefully there are a few winners among the selections.

    Best of Luck!
    Regards,
    The Mystery Man

    It runs today in the Royal Sunalliance

    Silverburn


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,830 ✭✭✭shawnee


    Top tipster scored 0 on Tuesday, like many of the top tipsters in the paper. I love Cheltenham and watch it every year, however the horses are all trying and are all good, this makes picking a winner more difficult than usual. So I enjoy it and have a few small bets , last year I made 100 euro using one of the free bets in the paper.
    If you can't back a winner with a fiver you can;t back one with a hundred...;)
