Someone tried to sign into my Google account from Taiwan last night. Google blocked them and I have now changed my password. It appears they had my old password.

Will probably change it on other things like Facebook too.

Is there anything else I need to do lads?

If I used a laptop, I might follow your advice.

They'll get fook all out of my email anyway. I use my work one for anything major.

More like he called him out on the joke, looks a risky comment to make given the Cattemole like disciplinary record involved.....

And roryc obviously unblocked Lemlin. Could this be the start of something special?

For sure,cannot wait tbh, bets or not it is a great 4 days racing.
Kings Palace is my nap for the week.

If anyone gets any decent tips be sure to throw them up, ill do the same! My friend works up in the airport and whenever any of the big race festivals are on there are always trainers going through giving him tips! He actually got a couple of really good ones last year! I never bet big really myself, €20 a race max but it's only for a bit of fun i haven't a clue what i'm at really ha!

This is horrific... phone has been blowing up all morning with people looking for stuff to be done too! God damn selfish people...

€20 would be my max too. I generally stick to a tenner though.

I always find if you share a tip it never wins tbh.

Race 1. A very very open Supreme Novices Hurdle. So much so that Gilgamboa sacrifices a handicap opportunity off 140 in favour of this. I thought I was being a smart lad a few weeks ago by having a poke at Josses Hill 11/1 EW - 16/1 is now available that BJG has deserted him. I am basically playing pikey on this race. Will Hill have gone 5 places EW so have backed Vaotaur EW @ 7/2 and Gilgamboa EW @ 11/1. I am very negative on Irving. Were it not for the 5 place concession I would not have had another bet.

Race 2. Arse of a race. Trifolium has apparently had an awful preparation so I have to swerve him. When it all boils down despite me saying he is for taking on I am starting to think that 3/1 Champagne F is a bet, but only if you feel you really want to have a bet. I am happy to sit it out. Grandouet schooling terrible apparently so happy to leave alone also.

Race 3. When I did this race earlier Time For Rupert jumped off the page at me and I backed him at 16/1. King Massini & Tour De Champs were the other ones of interest.

Race 4. Our Conor beats The New One and Hurricane Fly.

Race 5. Quevega will win barring a mishap, 10/11 looks too big for her. The play in this race is to take the 2nd fav, Cockney Sparrow, on in every market you can - I don't believe she will stay.

Race 6. Can't see past Shutthefrontdoor or Foxrock.

Race 7. I have backed Art Of Logistics (12/1) and Manyriverstocross (10/1).

Mr.Prodston

I'll be missing the races tomorrow thanks to pesky college but I'll have a gander and see what catches my eye. Not that I know anything nor will my bets exceed €1 but it's for one week only.

My one rule/philosophy is if in doubt go for whoever Richard Johnson is riding, purely irrational on my part. He just happened to win me a race or two a few years back when I first got into the races. Well him and Ruby :pac:

If youtube had a clip I'd be linking The Simpsons' "She's the fastest" joke.

finnharpsboy

I only ever back a horse 3 times a year, cheltenham, the irish and english grand nationals.
€20 a day max for cheltenham is my limit.
Here's my first effort of the day
One can dream........

Is that BCB? He was Head of Poker at Paddy's a few years back, think he went on to work at Boyles in some sports capacity. If I remember correctly he knows his stuff. I'll post a few tips on here over the course of the week as I get them. Our Conor in the 3:20 seems a decent shout, have heard this from a few traders and you can still get 11/2...

I love being in Gibraltar for Cheltenham week. Second only to being at the races!

KevIRL

Yep thats him rory. In some high up position in tote now.

Lemlin

I'm going Wicklow Brave and Vaniteux in the first. €2 e/w on both.

Watch that big money roll in

I've given up. My ten euro didn't last long yesterday and reminded me why I stopped horse betting since college. I just don't have the time for decent research.

In college, we'd go around to the newsagents and one each would buy a paper. Then we'd study all the form and tips for the day and.....

then just look for where Ruby Walsh was running and bet on his horses all day :rolleyes:

I almost recouped today's losses with Balthazar King, still in the red from yesterday. I wouldn't do more than a tenner a day anyway.

So after winning the paltry sum of €1.13 on tuesday, yesterday the profit from cheltenham soared to over €6.50. Last night did rangers, sheff utd, wigan, psg and barca in a €2.00 accum winning €13.82, so thats todays kitty sorted

FHFC

Thanks Lord Windermere for breaking my losing streak!! Backed him at 20/1 seconds before the off. He was last the whole way round so true to my recent form. Then the fecker went and won it.

My comeback starts here!!!!

2.5 each, my first bet since the Our Conor debacle.

Let our meteoric rise in the fpl rankings start here my friend.

No stopping us now.

Why yes, I am in a pub. What of it???

Ok, so had to google aftertiming but here ya go!

It was actually kinda aftertiming as I landed into the pub at 3.30 to realise the 3.20 race hadn't started cause of the 2 false starts so I stuck the bet on well after the race shoulda been started....

Anyone wanting a distraction from the PL this weekend and fancying a flutter, the LOI is back in town and there can be some great value available, especially if you have the odd bit of behind the scenes info.

The odds for this weekends matches are below. Some good bets are:

Harps to beat a young Cobh side who will travel from Cobh to Donegal that day, we have started well and despite missing a couple of players would be pretty confident of a win.

Cork who beat Derry away last week to overcome Bray at home.

Galway, a well financed strong team at home to Shamrock Rvrs B, who we beat 3-0 in Tallaght last week, they are essentially an U19 side, with the option to play a few first teamers if they need gametime.

Longford, big budget, strong team away to Wexford Youths who are as the name suggests a young pretty much amatuer side.

Any my favourite of all, Drogheda to beat Derry at home. Roddy Collins, the biggest bull**** artist in all of Irish football who Derry hilariously appointed as manager has got off to an awful start, lost at home last week, rumoured to have fallen out with several key players including their star Goalie who is rumoured not to be in the squad for this one, replaced by their number 2 who is our keeper from last year and very very raw at this level. Current and former players airing grievances on social media, even descending to to the comedy gold of James McClean posting on the Clubs fans forum calling people idiots. 23/10 is a massive price and all this is wonderfully entertaining to a Harps fan.

I've got money on Harps/Galway/Longford/Sligo accum at 5/1 or so as well as Harps/Derry/Galway which gives around 8/1



I'm no expert but am following a thread on this on another LOI forum and these are the tips I'd highlight this week.

Hi all,

Bit off topic but for any poker players out there I've started up a new poker forum - http://pokermob.com/poker-forum/

Doing a bit of a soft launch today but if you sign up over the next month you go into a draw for some decent prizes, the main one being a £500 GUKPT Main Event seat. Anyone familiar with the Hendon Mob will know Joe Beevers and Ross & Barny Boatman, who I'll be working closely with.

Separate to poker, I'll be running a fantasy football league on the forum next season (free to enter) with some cracking prizes on offer like seats to live tournaments. Depending on interest I'll probably look into a cash league also.

Thanks

De activated activated my Facebook account two days ago, didn't delete it as I use the messenger app and need it as my son never has credit and uses that to message me .

Hopefully I can stay off the bloody thing now.

I was off it for about 5 weeks there, the first week or so is the hardest, well it was for me anyway as i instinctively go to type facebook in to the address bar when i turn on the laptop but you snap out of that after a few days! Signed back in last weekend and i'm constantly on the thing again! Going to switch it off again tomorrow until i finish college! Such a productivity killer!

Too right it is and the bloody app is worse, constant checking for information that has no real bearing on how I go about my day.

Horrid event that was aside from the money part...some mares need to be forced to wear make up...

SpaceCowb0y

I have to say this whole no make up thing in fairness has raised a lot of money but it's also made me aware of exactly who i know that really is naturally good looking and also that average or below average women can turn themselves into stunners with a bit of slap! There are a few birds who if they took there face off the next morning i genuinely wouldn't recognise! The main thing i noticed is how tired looking they all are... false advertisement that's what i say ha!
