    If you need to catch the bus to the race-course, look at the 8-yoyo return price from one side of Eyre Square, then look at the route of a certain bus that leaves from the other side of Eyre Square and costs E-1.60 each way. Hint: the destination sign on this bus is *not* the same as the name of the racecourse.

    (Of course if anyone is talking to loud drunken tourists, this tip does not apply: they are the folks that the "special" buses are for.)
    Is that the Park and Ride? Am I allowed to say that? Help :) Is it advisable for someone in high heels? :D

    It's not the Park and Ride it's the regular No. 9 to Parkmore. What's the big mystery. As for heels, the floor of the bus is actually made out of cobblestones. It's a bitch for all the female commuters who get the No 9 to work.

    My additional tip for the heeled ladies is to walk through the Briarhill Business Park behind the Spar on the tarmac rather than walking in the car entrance on gravel.

    Hey,
    Just wondering if anyone heard the tips this morning on Newstalk ? I think they may be the Paddy Power tips. I bet on them yesterday and they both came in (2ndnd mind you) 22/1 and 33/1 !! I had bet a measly amount so no big wins but hey maybe today!

    Any other tips out there?

    Anyone betting on See You Bob ?:)

    Being a gambling retard, what exactly is each way? Is it that you win (at worse odds) if the horse comes in 1st, 2nd or 3rd, as opposed to betting on the horse winning?

    Example 5 bucks e/w will cost you 10 bucks.
    It's 2 bets, 5 bucks on the win and 5 bucks on the place.
    The place depends on the size of the field and bookie, can be up to fifth place

    yes usually a quarter of the odds,so if the horse is 10/1 it works out you get paid 2.5/1

    Select your horses and a new window pops up.

    In the new window you'll see your selection of horses, near the bottom of that window you'll see all the types of bets that are available to you.
    Just type in your stake opposite the Accumulator option.

    Right on all points.

    The last stop for the route 9 bus is very conveniently located a very few metres north (ish) of one of the side entrances to the racecourse.

    Many thanks for this tip, wouldn't have thought of it myself... thankfully the females we're going with on Thursday are getting taxi's/their own busses so i'm just gonna head out with one of the lads on the bus you recommended. Thanks again :D

    John, did you end up taking this bus yesterday? How long did it take in the traffic?

    I'm heading out tomorrow and will be taking the bus..

    Heh, forgot I posted the above post last night, feckin drink!

    Anyhow, first of all thanks to JustMary for the bus tip - worked a treat. Everyone on the bus had a seat apart from a few lads who didn't care as they were content sipping their Dutch Gold! No queuing/pushing and everyone in great form. We got stuck in traffic half way up Doughiska (at the pub/hotel) so we got out and had a cheeky Sambuca and walked the rest of the way (along with half the bus!) - But it eventually caught up and overtook us. Didn't bother us as weather was lovely. To conclude, i'd recommend this bus rather than the 'special' bus. Remember, you can just jump on the 'special' bus on the way back - last year and this year they weren't checking for tickets on the return journey (Didn't get the bus back myself this year but just saw people jumping on)

    And to the other poster who offered tips for each race yesterday, I put on one bet and the horse came in a winner :D Dual Shoal or something like that - nice one bruvva :cool:
